On Thursday 4 June, Goodwood Motor Circuit will roar into life once again for the tenth annual Classics on Track for Children, a much-loved fundraising event supporting three vital children’s charities serving West Sussex: Child Bereavement UK, Sylvia Beaufoy Youth Club, and the Goodwood Education Trust.
Hosted by The Duchess of Richmond and Gordon, the event invites members of the public to experience the excitement and heritage of Goodwood with the opportunity to ride in an exceptional collection of vehicles from elegant 1930s Bentleys and Lagondas to modern McLarens, Aston Martins, Ferraris and Porsches.
For a donation of £50, guests aged 14 and over can enjoy three exhilarating laps of the historic Goodwood Motor Circuit driven by a race-licensed driver. Helmets will be provided and passengers are asked to wear suitable footwear, long sleeves and trousers.
Younger motoring enthusiasts can also take part in dedicated family-friendly sessions led by the safety car. These rides will take place at a gentler pace, do not require helmets and are free of charge, ensuring the whole family can enjoy the occasion.
The event will run from 9am to 5pm, with a lunch break between 12.30pm and 1.30pm. Lunches, teas and refreshments will be available throughout the day.
No advance booking is required - visitors are encouraged to simply turn up, soak up the atmosphere of Goodwood Motor Circuit and help raise vital funds for local children and young people.
Catherine Cannon of the Goodwood Education Trust said:
“It's our Golden Jubilee this year, 50 years of connecting children and young people with nature, the countryside, food and farming. We’re celebrating the legacy of our founder, the 10th Duke of Richmond, and remaining relevant and responsive to the needs of young people today. As an independent charity operating on the Estate, we’re so grateful for the support from Classics on the Track. The event offers much-needed support so we can welcome as many children as possible, particularly those who are underserved or vulnerable’.
