Barely has Goodwood’s motorsport season ended with the anniversary celebrations of the Festival of Speed (25 years) and most recently the Revival (20 years) than the Duke of Richmond’s team has transported us to these flagship events for 2019.

It has been confirmed that the 2019 Festival of Speed will take place from July 4-7, with the historic motor racing feast that is the Revival scheduled for September 13-15.

Tickets for the general public go on sale November 5 for both events.  

Before then, the Goodwood Motor Circuit hosts the 77th Members’ Meeting, which for 2109 has moved back three weeks to take place on April 6-7, following atrocious weather (remember the snow?) at this year’s 76th such event back in March.

Despite taking place in April for the first time, the Members’ Meeting retains its place as the traditional curtain-raiser of the historic racing season.

For 2019, the Revival Meeting will be on September 13-15

As in previous years, tickets are expected to sell out and will once again only be available to Goodwood Road Racing Club (GRRC) members and those who are part of the GRRC Fellowship.

Look out for more announcements about the Festival of Speed over the coming months, but expect the usual array of stunning anniversary celebrations, supercar debuts, Formula One, rallying and sports cars - not to mention the tension of the timed shoot-out up the hillclimb on the Sunday afternoon.

The Revival Meeting, since 1998 a magical step back in time that recreates and celebrates the circuit’s golden age of racing between the late 1940s and mid-1960s, will once again feature the closest historic racing.
