The Revival is the only sporting event in the world set entirely to a period theme. Every year, spectators and competitors take a magical step back in time by getting into the effervescent Goodwood spirit, revelling in the romance of motor racing as it used to be.
The majority of visitors dress in appropriate clothing from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, considering it all part of the fun.
The lovingly restored circuit is unchanged from its heyday (1948-1966), and great lengths are taken to ensure that everything on the site is exactly as it was. No modern vehicles are allowed within the circuit perimeter throughout the weekend – period vehicles provide all essential services and competitor support.
Bands play 1950s music, the food outlets sell fish and chips wrapped in authentic-looking 1950s newspaper, even the corn stooks on the circuit infield are made from a specially-grown crop with extra-long stalks for hand cutting rather than combine harvesting.
An action-packed weekend of historic motor racing and period theatre for all the family.
