Goodwood revival is far more than a series of races for classic grand prix cars. The entire circuit is transformed – restored to exactly the way it was in its heyday between 1948 and 1966 when, along with Silverstone, it was Britain’s premier racing venue.
The effect is that of a giant film set – staff dress in authentic period clothing, bands play 50s music, and even the fish and chips are wrapped in reprints of old newspaper.
The action goes beyond the track. The skies above this former Battle of Britain airfield display breathtaking air shows with Spitfires, Hurricanes and Mustangs performing spectacular swoops and dives over the grounds.
Highlights:
- 100 Years of Ford Great Britain- This year the company celebrates its British centenary.
