The Goodwood Revival is the only major sporting event in the world to take place completely in period.  Furthermore Goodwood is the only classic circuit in the world to be entirely in its original form and the whole site has been maintained and dressed to be exactly how it was in the heyday of motor racing – perfect in every detail.  It is the ultimate experience – a magical step back in time to a different era, celebrating both motor racing and flying.  You will enjoy the thrill of watching the world’s most exotic and valuable historic racing cars being driven absolutely on the limit.  The event is an intoxicating mix of incredible machinery, extraordinary driving, fabulous fashion, and the glorious noise of the world’s most evocative cars and aircraft.
