2023 Goodwood Revival Approaches

At the iconic Goodwood Motor Circuit, the Goodwood Revival pays homage to the illustrious period of motor racing spanning from 1948 to 1966. During this epoch, fashion reached its zenith, melodies transformed, and motorsport luminaries arose. Set for Friday 8–Sunday 10 September, this year’s Revival marks its quarter-century milestone, reflecting on these pivotal years. As a testament to its commitment to safeguarding historical legacies and recognizing the valor of racing pioneers – many of whom graced the track in its prime – Rolex proudly stands as the Goodwood Revival’s Official Timepiece and the distinguished Rolex Drivers’ Club’s Title Sponsor since 2004.

Established 75 years ago, the Goodwood Motor Circuit, nestled in West Sussex, England, has been an epicenter for exhilarating spectacles and displays of vehicular prowess. Its chronicles intertwine with the eminent British automaker Lotus, which is also marking its 75th jubilee during this year’s festivity. In an inaugural move, the Revival introduces the Rudge-Whitworth Cup, echoing the original accolade of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Commemorating the century-long journey of the famed endurance race—a momentous occasion observed by Rolex and the motorsport cognoscenti in June—this dual-driver challenge will spotlight iconic sports cars from the initial eras of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The grid is poised to feature revered marques, encompassing the likes of Alfa Romeos, Bentleys, and Bugattis. Concurrently, the event will pay tribute to Carroll Shelby, the mastermind behind the triumphant 1966 Ford GT40 team.
