The Goodwood Revival
The Goodwood Revival is the celebration of motor racing in the 1940's, 50's, 60's and 70's. It's the only historic race meeting to be staged entirely in period dress! The Revival was first opened in 1998 when the Earl of March drove the famous Bristol 400 around the circuit. The circuit was opened by his grandfather, the 9th Duke of Richmond, 50 years prior to this. The historic event has now become one of the worlds most celebrated historic motor racing events. Racing fans come from all over the country and the world to soak up the uniquely amazing atmosphere!
