Goodwood Revival | Press Article 13/08/25

  • Indy 500 Champion and Arrow McLaren Team Principal Tony Kanaan to make Goodwood Revival racing debut.
  • Goodwood Revival takes place Friday 12 - Sunday 14 September. Limited tickets available at goodwood.com.

Goodwood Revival is set to welcome 2013 Indy 500 Champion and current Arrow McLaren Team Principal Tony Kannan to race across the weekend.

Having competed in IndyCar for over twenty years, Kanaan won the IndyCar Series in 2004 and the 2013 Indy 500. As of February 2025, he is the Team Principal of Arrow McLaren, having previously served as Special Advisor and Deputy Team Principal.

Kanaan will race in the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) TT Celebration where he will drive a 1961 Jaguar E-Type ‘semi-lightweight’, previously raced at Goodwood by the legendary Bruce McLaren. Kanaan will also go head-to-head with fellow IndyCar drivers Dario Franchitti, Scott Dixon and Jimmie Johnson in the St Mary’s Trophy - a race for 1950s production-based saloon cars.

Tony Kanaan said: “I am really looking forward to racing in the RAC TT Celebration and the St Mary’s Trophy - my very first time competing at the Goodwood Revival! I can’t wait to take to the track alongside my fellow IndyCar drivers.”

The Duke of Richmond CBE DL said: "Every year, we are privileged to welcome some of the world’s greatest drivers and riders to the Goodwood Revival. Drawing on experience from across the breadth of motorsport, these competitors turn their skill and passion to historic racing, often facing rivals they’d never otherwise meet on the track. I’m grateful to them for taking the time to join us over the weekend and look forward to seeing them in action.”

Tony Kanaan joins 1997 Formula 1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve, alongside a legendary line-up of drivers and riders who are set to race at this year’s event, alongside the Alfa Romeo celebration, VW Type 2 Split Screen track opening parade, celebration for two-time Formula 1 World Champion Jim Clark and all-sustainable fuel race list

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.
