EVENT>> GOODWOOD REVIVAL – THE RACING [PART TWO]
Filed under: ,  
Speedhunters
Although Goodwood isn't used for any contemporary racing, it's still a busy circuit for track days, car manufacturer testing and special events. From these untrained eyes it doesn't look like it would need that much work to host newer series: surely going off at 120mph in a 1960s racer straight into a haybale is more dangerous than being enclosed in a nice, safe carbon-fibre monocoque... But, the public only seeing historics at Goodwood is hardly a limitation, especially when the racing...

EVENT>> GOODWOOD REVIVAL – THE PADDOCK
Filed under: ,  
Speedhunters
As with June's Festival Of Speed at Goodwood, the Revival's open paddocks are a fantastic way to get close to a huge collection of racing machinery in a way that's usually just not possible at a regular meeting. There's a twist at the Revival though: in keeping with the event's theme, capturing the atmosphere of Goodwood's glory years is the goal so the entire site aims to recreate the look of the '50s and '60s. Buildings, cars and people all take on the period theme...

With all the other attractions on offer around Goodwood, it's actually easy to forget that the three-day event is packed with on-track racing.

EVENT>> GOODWOOD REVIVAL – THE MOTOR SHOW
Filed under: ,  
Speedhunters
The BGC Earls Court Motor Show at the Goodwood Revival was introduced in 2008 and is a recreation of the big London motor shows of the '50s, complete with Art Deco frontage. This year's theme was 'Race Cars For The Road': 25 race-derived vehicles were on display, with models from the last 50 years on show – a break from the usual 'no modern vehicles' rule al the Revival. ...

EVENT>> 2009 GOODWOOD REVIVAL – THE CARS
Filed under: ,  
Speedhunters
The Goodwood Revival is the sister event to the Festival Of Speed in July, based down near the south coast of Sussex in England. Whereas the focus for the Festival is the hillclimb course outside Goodwood House – home to event organiser Lord March – the Revival is all about reliving the golden era of the nearby Goodwood racing circuit. The track opened just after the end of the Second World War, and held many famous races in the 1950s and into the '60s. The Revival atmosphere starts...
