2026 Goodwood Revival race list

Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy

For closed-cockpit GT cars of a type that raced before 1963

It’s only fitting that Mr. Goodwood himself has a Revival race named in his honour, and the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy is the perfect fixture to remember him. With a field full of pre-1963 GT cars, it’s often referred to as the most beautiful race of the Revival weekend. AC Cobras, Jaguar E-types and Aston Martin DB4 GTs do battle around the Motor Circuit, with Ferrari 250 SWBs perfectly reflecting the era in which Moss won the RAC Tourist Trophy in 1960 and ’61.

Stirling Moss had a very close relationship with Goodwood, both in period and during the modern Revival era, and this 45-minute two-driver race is always one of the best at the Revival.

Goodwood Trophy

For Grand Prix and Voiturette cars, and historic racing specials, of a type that raced between 1930 and 1951

The Goodwood Motor Circuit opened in 1948, the former RAF Westhampnett site having been repurposed for motor racing. In the years immediately after World War II, it was usual for post-war racing cars to compete alongside more modern machinery; not everyone had access to new cars in those years.

Therefore, the Goodwood Trophy features a spread of machinery ranging from 1930 to 1951. Earlier cars from ERA and Maserati go toe-to-toe with later Maseratis and Talbot-Lagos, amongst others, to evoke those early years of Grand Prix racing.

Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy

For 500cc Grand Prix motorcycles of a type that raced up to 1966

When the Goodwood Motor Circuit operated from 1948 to 1966, only one motorcycle race was held — and that’s all the excuse we need for the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy to be an annual fixture at the Revival.

A two-rider race, the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy is split into two parts, with the overall winner based on a combination of both results. Riders begin with a Le Mans-style sprint to their bikes before doing battle in a field made up predominantly of Norton and Matchless machinery. The Revival’s motorcycle race always treats us to a relentless stream of close quarters action and brave overtaking.

Whitsun Trophy

Two-driver race for sports-racing prototypes of a type that raced between 1960 and 1966

The Whitsun Trophy provides one of the most thrilling spectacles of the Revival weekend. It’s open to sports prototypes that raced up until the Goodwood Motor Circuit’s closure in 1966, which means these are the fastest cars that raced here in period, and they remain the fastest here at the Revival.

Experience the thunderous roar of Ford GT40s, Lola T70 Spyders and McLaren M1As as they fly around the Motor Circuit, and if you’re anywhere near the grid when the flag falls to start the race you’ll feel as much as hear them. There’s nothing else quite like it.

St. Mary’s Trophy

For production-based saloon cars of a type raced between 1960-1966

The St. Mary’s Trophy presented by Motul is a saloon car race that delivers unforgettable action year after year. The race itself alternates each year between 1950s and 1960s cars, and 2026 is the turn of the ‘60s machinery. That means you’ll see diminutive Mini Coopers, Lotus Cortinas and Alfa Romeo Giulias pitted against gargantuan Ford Galaxies and Jaguar MkIIs.

The St. Mary’s Trophy is another race split into two parts, one for the cars’ owners to showcase their skills behind the wheel and another for a field of current and ex-professional drivers from all of the world’s most famous motorsport series. Expect to see Le Mans 24 Hours winners, Formula 1 legends, IndyCar heroes and touring car champions... they’ll all be here. Close racing is a promise.

Brooklands Trophy

For pre-war and vintage sportscars

The Brooklands Trophy returns to the Revival race card for 2026. It’s open to pre-war and vintage sportscars, 1920s and ’30s machines that match more than adequate power to their skinny tyres.

Exciting, close racing is assured, not to mention an inspiring display of car control. Frazer Nash will be a well represented marque, and it’ll face competition from Aston Martins, Bentleys, MGs, BMWs and Talbot-Lagos.

Glover Trophy

For 1.5-litre Grand Prix cars of a type that raced between 1961 and 1965

The Glover Trophy reprises the name of a prize that was awarded to winners of Goodwood’s highest profile races from 1955 to 1963. It was claimed by Graham Hill, Stirling Moss, Roy Salvadori and many others. F1 was a key part of the Motor Circuit’s activity during that period, and the Revival’s Glover Trophy brings together a field of 1.5-litre cars from that golden era of Grand Prix racing.

Lotuses traditionally make up a decent proportion of the entry list, including Types 18, 21 and 24, and they'll go up against contemporary rivals from BRM, Cooper, Brabham and more.

Sussex Trophy

For World Championship sportscars and production sports-racing cars of a type raced between 1955 and 1960

It’s impossible to resist a field of 1950s sportscars, and that’s what makes the Revival’s Sussex Trophy such a special event. Lister Knobblys, Lotus 15s and Lola Mk1s stand out among a whole host of gorgeous historic sportscars as they slide their way around the Motor Circuit. It brings to life a wonderful era of sportscar racing, where deft car control was as important as outright speed.

In period, these open-topped sportscars would have been regulars at Goodwood, while also appearing at the Le Mans 24 Hours and competing in the World Sportscar Championship. The Sussex Trophy has established itself as an unmissable part of the Revival weekend, and a close contender for most beautiful race of the event.

Chichester Cup

For rear-engine, drum braked, Formula Juniors

The rear-engined Formula Junior cars of the 2026 Chichester Cup will be perhaps the most modest of the entire Revival weekend, but they’ll compensate for their diminutive size with huge historical significance. 

Many legendary racing drivers cut their teeth in such cars before going on to become world famous. The likes of Jim Clark and John Surtees were both Formula Junior alumni, growing to become two of the great champions in motorsport history. While not the fastest race of the weekend, the Chichester Cup will give us all a chance to relive the beginning of some of racing’s most memorable heroes.

Freddie March Memorial Trophy

For cars in the spirit of the Goodwood Nine Hours of 1952-’55

The Freddie March Memorial Trophy is an ever-present race at the Revival. It evokes the extraordinary Goodwood Nine Hour races of the early 1950s, which were Britain’s first night races. It ran from 15:00 until midnight and the kerbs were marked with luminous paint to boost the effectiveness of the era’s lighting technology.

Sadly we have a curfew to honour in the Revival era, so the drivers won’t keep going until midnight, but the cars they’ll be driving will be reminiscent of those that competed in Goodwood’s most famous race. Expect to see a grid of sportscars from the likes of Aston Martin, Maserati and Jaguar engaging in an hour-long marathon.

Lavant Cup

For 1950s Ferrari and Maserati sportscars

We have something special lined up for the 2026 Lavant Cup, an all-Italian battle for supremacy between two leviathans of motorsport history. It’ll be Ferrari vs. Maserati, the Battle of Modena, in an absolutely stunning clash of 1950s sportscars.

Ferrari 500TRs will lead a field of creations from Maranello to go up against a host of Maseratis fronted by the 300S. It’s going to be a grid packed with motorsport icons that, perhaps most importantly, are going to look and sound absolutely magnificent. The racing as well, with the pride of Italy at stake, is also likely to be breathless.

Richmond & Gordon Trophies

For 2.5-litre Grand Prix cars of a type that raced between 1952 and 1960

The Richmond & Gordon Trophies combine to create a fascinating grid of F1 cars that showcases another era of the sport’s early years. It features cars from 1952 to 1960, covering the remarkable era when mid-engined cars first began to dominate their front-engined counterparts, with Cooper famously pioneering the change.

For a time, Italian teams stuck with the old ways, so you’ll see larger, heavier Maserati 250Fs and Ferrari 246s competing against more lithe rivals. The Richmond & Gordon Trophies bring what is arguably the most significant era of F1 history back to life in the best possible way.

RAC TT Celebration

For closed-cockpit GT and selected prototype cars in the spirit of the RAC TT races, 1960-1964

This is the blue ribband event of the Goodwood Revival, and arguably the most prestigious race in all of historic motor racing. The RAC TT Celebration brings back to life the RAC Tourist Trophy races of the 1960s, with big capacity cars such as AC Cobras taking on more svelte rivals like Jaguar E-types. It’s a sight and sound not to be missed, whether you’re trackside or watching via the Livestream.

As well as top-flight machinery, the RAC TT Celebration draws in top drivers from different motorsport disciplines from around the world. Last year’s entry list included Jenson Button, Emanuele Pirro, Tony Kanaan and Jaques Villeneuve. With star drivers from F1, Le Mans, BTCC, NASCAR and IndyCar, it’s a race that truly lives up to its Celebration moniker.
