2025 Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy preview | Goodwood Revival
There’s no other race like the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy, it’s the place to get your motorcycle fix during the Goodwood Revival weekend, which is the only historic motorsport event to host both cars and bikes. With its Le Mans-style start and knee-down action, the Revival’s annual motorcycle race has established itself as a regular highlight of the weekend.
What is the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy?
In period, motorcycles raced on just one day at Goodwood. On 14th April 1951, the circuit hosted everything from 250cc motorcycles to 1,200cc sidecars, and it’s that spring day from more than seven decades ago that’s recreated with the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy.
It’s named in honour of the two-time Grand Prix motorcycle champion, who competed in his final race on British soil at the Goodwood Revival in 2002.
This year’s race will see the grid for this two-rider race populated by machinery built between 1948 and ‘66, so expect to enjoy Norton Manx 30Ms battling Matchless G50s and BMWs around the high-speed Goodwood Motor Circuit.
When is the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy?
The Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy is run in 25-minute two parts, which gives us the opportunity to enjoy thrilling motorcycle action on all three days of the event. It begins with Official Practice on Friday at 10:20, that 30-minute session will determine the starting grid for Part 1 held on Saturday morning, at 11:05. Part 2 of the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy will then take place at 12:20 on Sunday, with the results of both races aggregated to determine the overall winners.
