Goodwood Revival is set to welcome four-time Indy 500 winner Hélio Castroneves, who will compete in the weekend’s premier race, the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) TT Celebration.

One of only four drivers to win the Indy 500 a record four times - and the holder of the all-time mileage record - Castroneves has enjoyed an illustrious career in American open-wheel racing. After stepping back from full-time competition in 2023, he continues to race part-time with Meyer Shank Racing, piloting the No.6 car in pursuit of his fifth Indy 500 victory.

Making his historic racing debut this September, Castroneves will take to the Goodwood Motor Circuit to compete in the RAC TT Celebration, lining up alongside fellow Indy 500 winners Scott Dixon, Dario Franchitti, Tony Kanaan and Jacques Villeneuve in one of the strongest line-ups ever assembled for the race.

Hélio Castroneves, four-time Indy 500 winner, said: “I’m looking forward to making the trip to Goodwood Revival this year and am excited to race in the prestigious RAC TT Celebration. It will be great to be on track with so many of my fellow IndyCar drivers - I've seen how much fun they have out there!”

The Duke of Richmond CBE DL said: “We’re thrilled to be welcoming one of IndyCar’s most celebrated and successful drivers to Revival this year. The RAC TT Celebration is the culmination of the weekend’s racing and with Hélio, Scott, Dario, Tony and Jacques - who between them hold a frankly astounding 10 Indy 500 titles - it promises to be a race to remember.

Hélio Castroneves joins a legendary line-up of drivers and riders who are set to race at this year’s event, alongside the previously announced Vespa track opening parade, celebration for Maserati, reunion of the 1-2-3 finishers from the 1966 24 hours of Le Mans and tributes to racing legends Barry Sheene and Jack Brabham.

About Goodwood Revival
Goodwood Revival is the world’s greatest historic motor race meeting, and the only sporting event of its kind to be staged entirely in a period theme. More than just an unrivalled weekend of historic racing, it is an immersive celebration of vintage lifestyle, championing exceptional craftsmanship and the enduringly fabulous stories told by second-hand treasures. ‘Revive & Thrive’ is the thoroughly modern message woven through the Revival landscape; a clever stitch with which the old is made new again, it runs through every carefully restored classic car, each beautifully preserved piece of clothing as it is passed from one generation to the next.

It is, proudly, the world’s biggest and most glamorous second-hand event.
