2025 St. Mary’s Trophy preview | Goodwood Revival

25th April 2025

Adam Wilkins

The St. Mary’s Trophy is the Revival race for the cars that were once a common sight on UK roads. Once ordinary saloon cars are plucked from their retirement after a life of undertaking mundane road-going duties and given a new lease of life at the Goodwood Motor Circuit. Throw in a roll-call of nationally and internationally renowned drivers and you have a recipe for some of the closest, most thrilling racing of the entire Revival weekend.

On a yearly basis, the St. Mary’s Trophy alternates between cars from the 1950s and cars from the 1960s, and for the 2025 Goodwood Revival it’s the turn of the earlier cars. You’ll see upright and austere Austins battling cars like the Jaguar Mk1 and Alfa Romeo Giuliettas, as well as a smattering of American machinery to add some spice to proceedings.

Saloon car contests at Goodwood are rooted in the British Saloon Car Championship, hosted here from 1961-'66. In period, the likes of Graham Hill (Jaguar Mk2) and Jim Clark (Lotus Cortina) were victors.

In the St. Mary’s Trophy, the cars are shared by pros and owners across separate races, and the overall result is derived from a combination of the two. The driver line-up is yet to be announced for 2025, but the glittering alumni of previous fixtures include Jenson Button, Emanuele Pirro, Romain Dumas and more BTCC drivers than you can count on both hands.
