2025 Goodwood Revival timetable

Friday on track at the 2025 Goodwood Revival

We mentioned the Track Opening Parade, which will see a fleet of original VW Type 2 Campers get all three days of the Revival off to a colourful and entertaining start at 09:00 sharp, encompassing everything we love about this brilliant event.

The historic motorsport will get underway once the VWs have left the track, and the opening session of the day will see the 1950s sportscars of the Freddie March Memorial Trophy head out for the first time for their Official Practice session at 09:30.

Then it’ll be the first two-wheeled action of the weekend when the bikes of Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy complete their first session at 10:20. The VIP drivers of the St. Mary’s Trophy will be out next at 11:05 for their 20-minute chance to get a grip on their ‘50s tin tops.

Friday afternoon will begin with Official Practice for the pre-war Grand Prix and Voiturette cars of the Goodwood Trophy, a race that reimagines the kind of competition that would have headlined early race meetings at the Motor Circuit in 1948, at 12:05. That’s followed by the first 1960s action of the weekend when the Mustangs, Elan 26Rs and Alfa TZ1s head out for Practice in the Fordwater Trophy at 12:35.

The tiny sportscars of the Madgwick Cup will be out at 13:10 before the fastest cars of the weekend are unleashed for Whitsun Trophy Practice at 13:40. Then, from brute force to poise and beauty, the closed-cockpit GTs of the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy get their first action at 14:10, followed by the Formula Juniors of the Chichester Cup at 14:50.

We’ll all slow down for a deep breath at 15:25 to take in the delights of the Alfa Romeo Celebration, as many of the marque’s most famous and successful racing cars from 1925-1975 head out for a stunning parade, before we sound the Formula 1 alarm for the first time at 15:45 with the Richmond & Gordon Trophies.

Things will get serious for just a moment shortly afterwards, when the big guns come out for the RAC TT Celebration’s first Official Practice session of the weekend at 16:15, before the Glover Trophy closes the F1 sandwich at 16:50.

Friday evening will begin with our first glimpse of the beautiful ‘50s World Championship sportscars of the Sussex Trophy at 17:20, before the second part of St. Mary’s Trophy Practice at 17:50. The sun will set as the flag drops for the first race of the 2025 Revival, the hour-long Freddie March Memorial Trophy, at 18:30.

Saturday on track at the 2025 Goodwood Revival

Day two of the Revival will begin once again with a parade of VW Campers before a full day of racing action gets underway at 09:35 with the Goodwood Trophy. Second practice for the RAC TT Celebration at 10:10 will be the final chance for a star-studded field of drivers to hone their setups ahead of the race on Sunday, before Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy Part 1 kicks off at 11:05.

The first part of arguably the most important race of the weekend follows at 11:45, as the Austin J40s of the Settrington Cup line up on the Grid for the annual pedal car race, and once the chaos has been cleared the Fordwater Trophy will begin at 12:30.

A race that always delivers is Part 1 of the St. Mary’s Trophy, which will start at 14:30 before the Madgwick Cup at 15:25 and the second Alfa Romeo parade at 16:10. Then Saturday evening will be rounded off with the Whitsun Trophy at 16:40, before the 45-minute Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy begins at 17:35 to bring an end to day two.

Sunday on track at the 2025 Goodwood Revival

After two days packed with action, Sunday at Revival will need to be good, and the Chichester Cup will follow the VW Campers to get the day off to an excitable start at 09:35. The Richmond & Gordon Trophies follow at 10:30 before Part 2 of the Settrington Cup will see the overall winner crowned at 11:20.

The Alfa Romeo Celebration will grace the Motor Circuit for the final time at 11:50, and Sunday afternoon’s racing action will begin with the return of the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy at 12:20.

Then it’s the big one, the RAC TT Celebration will bring all the noise at 14:30 for an hour-long showpiece, followed, as is tradition, by the Glover Trophy at 15:55. Sunday evening will be drawn to a close with the second part of the St. Mary’s Trophy at 17:10, and the final race of the 2025 Revival, the Sussex Trophy, at 18:00.

Friday on the Revival Style Stage at the 2025 Goodwood Revival

Over at the Revival Style Stage — positioned north of the Revival High Street — things kick off in serious high stakes with the return of Dita Von Teese. The epitome of golden age glamour and a long-time collector of classic cars, Von Teese will be in conversation with jazz bandleader and style activist, Dandy Wellington.

From screen to stage, Richard E Grant will be in conversation with Paula Sutton of Hill House Vintage to discuss all things vintage on film. From Withnail & I to Keep The Aspidistra Flying, the actor will reflect on the period pieces he’s worn, his work in fragrance and his own personal style secrets.

Also on Friday, go behind the scenes at the V&A with curator Jessica Harpley, who will join Dandy Wellington to discuss collecting and displaying historic fashion at the V&A, her work on the new fashion gallery and previous shows, as Wellington relates his experience of contributing to Superfine: Tailoring Black Style at The MET.  

Of course, the showpiece of the weekend is the Best Dressed competition, which this year counts Dandy Wellington and Dita Von Teese as judges. Last year set a high bar, but 2025 is sure to deliver more showstopping looks that represent the very best of the Revival Style ethos. Be sure to catch this ultimate celebration of vintage style each day at 15:00.

DJ Art Jefferson will provide the first of the weekend’s music sets, bringing retro vibes to the decks.

As for the music, Ginger Fizz is your Saturday DJ, keeping the party going with vintage vinyl mixes, and Best Dressed will once again light up the runway at 15:00.

Sunday on the Revival Style Stage sees a celebration of our greatest style icons of the 1960s.

The Icons of the ‘60s series also sees Zandra Rhodes, a trailblazer of British fashion, take to the stage, regaling us with over 50 years of fashion secrets ever since the original Princess of Punk launched her eponymous brand in 1969.

Finally, Ginger Fizz will once again be on duty on the decks, providing the perfect soundtrack to close out a magical three days of vintage delights, and for the final time, we’ll celebrate the event’s greatest vintage looks at the Best Dressed competition at 15:00.
