2025 Richmond & Gordon Trophies preview | Goodwood Revival
The Richmond & Gordon Trophies recreate that era of Formula 1 racing when rear-engined cars were coming in to usurp their front-engined forebears, meaning a mixed grid of differing approaches to the business of Grand Prix racing. They’re represented by machines from hailing from 1952 to 1960 from a variety of manufacturers.
The first Richmond Trophy took place in 1949 and was won by Reg Parnell aboard a Maserati 4CLT. The race is named after the Ninth Duke of Richmond who established the Goodwood Motor Circuit on the site of the former RAF Westhampnett in 1948. The Dukedom of Richmond is held alongside that of Gordon which also lends its name to the Revival's regular fixture.
Greats of the era such as the Maserati 250F raced in period, and the Revival’s interpretation of the Richmond & Gordon Trophies brings together a field of 2.5-litre Grand Prix cars. In this 75th anniversary year of the Formula 1 World Championship, it's bound to be more evocative than ever.
