Goodwood Revival is delighted to share details of the drivers and riders who will be attending the 2024 event, and, as ever, the organisers have brought together a stellar line-up of competitors from across the world of motorsport. As the event continues to champion second-hand sustainability, all drivers and riders competing across the weekend will be racing on sustainable fuels as the Revival serves as a landmark moment in motorsport history as the world’s first historic motorsport event to race exclusively with alternative fuels.

From the high-octane world of Formula 1, we are excited to be welcoming two Formula 1 World Champions - Sir Jackie Stewart and 1997 champion Jacques Villeneuve - alongside previous Formula 1 drivers David Brabham, Derek Bell, Jochen Mass, Karun Chandhok, current Festival of Speed hillclimb record holder Max Chilton and two-time Formula E Champion Jean-Éric Vergne.

With an impressive 38 Isle of Man TT wins between them, five Isle of Man TT winners will also join the Revival this September - Davey Todd, James Hillier, 23-time winner John McGuinness MBE, Lee Johnston and Michael Rutter.

Nine iconic drivers renowned for endurance racing - and with 29 24 Hours of Le Mans wins between them - will join in the sustainably-fuelled racing at the historic Motor Circuit. Among them are World Endurance Champion André Lotterer, Darren Turner, Emanuele Pirro, Rinaldo Capello, World Endurance Champions Marcel Fässler and Neel Jani, Romain Dumas and “Mr Le Mans” himself, nine-time winner and 2012 World Endurance Champion Tom Kristensen, who competed in the Revival’s first sustainably-fuelled race - the Fordwater Trophy - in 2023 and joined us at the 81st Members’ Meeting as the new House Captain for Darnley. European Le Mans Series Champion and advocate for sustainable racing, Alex Brundle, will also be competing across the weekend.

About the Goodwood Revival
The 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.
