2024 Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy Preview | Goodwood Revival

The Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy will effectively be ‘Saturday’s TT,’ with the hour-long two-driver race taking place at the end of the second day of the event. As with every other race on the schedule, the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy will run exclusively on sustainable fuel.

Which cars are in the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy?

Sir Stirling Moss earned his ‘Mr Goodwood’ name in so many ways, but a big part of that was his legendary pair of Goodwood TT wins at the wheel of the famous Rob Walker Ferrari 250 SWB. 

As such, today’s Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy grid is very much designed to honour the early ‘60s TT, with Ferrari 250s, FHC Jaguar E-Types, Aston Martin DB4 GTs, Austin Healeys, Corvettes and more. 

These are closer-related cars to their road-going equivalents than the later cars – the mighty Lightweight E-Types and monster Cobras – of today’s RAC TT. But the variety is glorious, making up not only one of the most beautiful and glamorous grids at the Revival, but potentially in all the world.

Which drivers are in the Stirling Moss Memoral Trophy

Being as glamourous as it is, the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy always attracts a star driver line-up from across the motorsport world. The last running of the race in 2022 featured 2009 Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button. Indycar legend Dario Franchitti is a regular, as is Jochen Mass, Tiff Needell, Karun Chandhok, Andrew Jordan and many, many more incredible drivers besides. 

When is the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy?

Practice for the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy will take place on Friday afternoon ahead of the first race of the event, before the race itself takes place on Saturday evening, to close day two of the Revival. 

That means these stunning pre-‘63 GTs will have to flick their lights on as the sun begins its descent towards the western horizon.
