Goodwood’s motorsport events return with their trademark blend of speed, style, and spectacle, starting with the 83rd Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport (18 & 19 April).
Exclusive to members of the Goodwood Road Racing Club (GRRC), the Members’ Meeting is an unforgettable weekend of on-track action, not to mention a spectacular party on Saturday night, complete with a magnificent fireworks display. This year’s event will celebrate the James Hunt era of Formula 1, host a Super Touring Car Shoot-Out and see Jenson Button reunited with his 2009 championship-winning Brawn BGP 001.
Hailed as the ultimate summer garden party, the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard (9-12 July) is an incomparable celebration of motorsport. Across the four-day event, spectators can enjoy superlative access to some of the world's greatest drivers, riders, teams, cars and bikes. The 2026 event will celebrate the very essence of competition, with the theme ‘The Rivals – Epic Racing Duels’. With almost all disciplines of motorsport represented, visitors can expect to see Formula 1, MotoGP, World Endurance Championship, WorldSBK, Isle of Man TT, IndyCar, World Rally Championship and Touring cars in action on the Goodwood Hill.
Goodwood Revival (18-20 September) closes the 2026 motorsport season, as it brings to life the glamour of the Motor Circuit’s heyday from 1948 to 1966, with thrilling on-track action, vintage fashion and festivities. This year’s event will bring a slice of Italy to Goodwood, as the Revival marks the 80th anniversary of the Vespa with a parade of more than 300 pre-1967 scooters.
