2025 Freddie March Memorial Trophy preview | Goodwood Revival

22nd April 2025
Adam Wilkins

The Freddie March Memorial Trophy brings to life the Goodwood Nine Hour races that took place in the 1950s. These headline fixtures brought night racing to Britain, and took place in 1952, '53 and '55. The Freddie March Memorial Trophy, therefore, sees sportscars of the era doing battle. and takes its place as the first race of the weekend at the end of a day of Official Practice sessions.

Marques that endure today – Jaguar, Aston Martin, Ferrari and Maserati all make regular appearances on entry lists, while teams from the past are also represented by cars such as Coopers, Frazer Nashes and HWMs. And, just like the racers in the day, headlights are obligatory as the drivers battle into the dusk of Revival’s Friday evening. Adding to the drama is the fact that it’s a two-driver race spread over a full hour. 

There are no foregone conclusions here. Over the last five years, for instance, we’ve seen just as many different models claiming victory. Namely, in reverse order, HWM-Jaguar, Maserari 250S, Jaguar C-Type, Maserati 300S and Jaguar D-Type. Different drivers have taken to the top spot of the podium each time, too. Let’s see what transpires in 2025.
