Memorable celebrations
Goodwood Revival celebrated the incomparable Jim Clark, marking the 60th anniversary of his greatest season and showcasing a collection of cars that represented the full breadth of his legendary racing career. The tribute to the two-time Formula 1 Champion and Indy500 winner featured the Lotus 32B, 33, 35, and 38 - brought together for the very first time. On Saturday, the tribute extended beyond the cars as family, friends, fellow drivers, former team members - and even sheep - came together to honour Clark’s accomplishments on track as well as his farming heritage. On behalf of his great friend Jim Clark, as well as himself, Sir Jackie Stewart received a Goodwood Ton Trophy from The Duchess of Richmond. Clark and Stewart hold the joint lap record set at the Easter Monday meeting at Goodwood in 1965.
Each morning, over 100 Volkswagen Type 2 Split Screens took to the circuit for the Track Opening Parade, kickstarting the event in style. Celebrating 75 years of this iconic model, the parade featured ambulances, fire engines, transporters, work vans and family campers. Adding a contemporary touch, a Type 2 wrapped with a design by renowned American artist Daniel Arsham joined the procession, with Arsham behind the wheel of his design over the weekend.
An array of Alfa Romeos came together to celebrate the centenary of the team’s victory at the inaugural Manufacturers’ World Championship, as well as the 50th anniversary of the marque’s victory at the 1975 World Sportscar Championship. The weekend welcomed a historic line-up of Grand Prix, sports, touring and prototype cars. Visitors had the chance to see the 158 ‘Alfetta’, Tipo 308C, TZ2 and Tipo 33 prototypes.
Goodwood Revival marked the 80th anniversary of VE Day with a heartfelt and joyful tribute, recreating the spirit of 1945, when crowds flooded the streets to celebrate the end of the Second World War. Military and commercial vehicles completed a lap of the track before the Pit Straight was transformed into a traditional British street party, offering a joyful and poignant reflection of the unity and relief felt across the nation eight decades ago.
Racing highlights
Following the 2024 Goodwood Revival - and 82nd Members’ Meeting earlier in the year - this year’s Revival continued the momentum with thirteen thrilling races powered by sustainable fuel; another significant step forward in securing the future of motorsport.
Featuring the fastest and most recognisable grand touring cars from Goodwood’s golden era, the Royal Automobile Club TT Celebration returned as a firm favourite for this year’s event. The race brought together 30 closed-cockpit GTs, including AC Cobras, V12 Jaguar E-Types, TVR Griffiths, Porsche 904s and was contested by a star-studded lineup of drivers, including 1997 Formula 1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve, Indy 500 Champion Tony Kanaan, and Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button. Tom Ingram and Richard Kent went on to win the two-driver race, closely followed by Rob Huff and Andrew Bentley.
Welcoming 1950s production-based saloon cars, the St Mary’s Trophy presented by Motul delivered a thrilling two-part race, featuring a grid packed with Austin A40s, Alfa Romeo Giulietta T.I.s and Jaguar MK1s. IndyCar stars Dario Franchitti, Scott Dixon, Jimmie Johnson and Tony Kanaan all went wheel to wheel, with Gordon Shedden and Chris Ward ultimately claiming victory. Ward was also named Driver of the Meeting.
Other racing highlights included a head-to-head battle in the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy, with Glen English and Steve Plater taking the win on the 1962 Matchless G50. WorldSBK Champions Carlos Checa and Troy Bayliss lined up against Isle of Man TT winner and podium record holder Michael Dunlop for the Le Mans-style start. Elsewhere, the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy saw Andrew Jordan and Matthew Holme take the victory behind the wheel of a Shelby Cobra, while William Nuthall claimed the trophy for the Madgwick Cup.
Revive & Thrive
The Revival Style Village returned as an inspiring space for visitors to explore a programme of workshops and demonstrations, celebrating heritage skills and ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. The area brought together a mix of special guests, fashion shows, DJ sets, and vintage shopping, all reflecting Revival’s core message of sustainability and creativity, inviting visitors to rediscover a time when people cherished their clothes, cars and belongings for a lifetime of use.
Across the weekend, the Revive Style Stage - hosted by Dandy Wellington - welcomed renowned figures from the vintage community, film, and television, including glamour evangelist Dita Von Teese, ‘60s models Pattie Boyd and Penelope Tree, actor Richard E. Grant and many more. The Revive & Thrive Workshop, led by Dominic Chinea, featured live craft demonstrations, interactive restoration projects and hands-on sewing activities, bringing traditional skills to life.

Around the event
This year, the Turning Circle captured the spirit of Haight-Ashbury, the district in San Francisco that became the heart of the hippie movement during the Summer of Love in 1967. Visitors were transported to the late 1960s with bold colours and psychedelic patterns, as the legendary replica of the ‘Further’ bus took centre stage.

The display featured five significant iterations, including His Majesty The King’s Phantom IV, with visitors also having the opportunity to see distinguished examples of the Phantom I, Phantom II, Phantom III, and Phantom V.
Arguably the most popular destination for lunch over the weekend, Harry Ramsden’s pop up on Richmond Lawn proved a hit with visitors, serving delicious fish and chips cooked to order.
Famous faces around the event included Beverley Knight, Bill Bailey, Carl Cox, Chris Evans, Dita Von Teese, James Martin, Jason Momoa, Kenney Jones, Kevin McCloud, Philip Glenister, Richard E. Grant, Rowan Atkinson, Tim Peake and Tom Kerridge.
