2025 Goodwood Revival race list
As 2025 approaches, we’re already preparing ourselves for another year of unmissable motorsport at Goodwood. The 2024 Revival was a resounding success for numerous reasons, and it is with immense excitement that we can announce that the race list for the 2025 Goodwood Revival has been revealed. Among the many traditional races we all look forward to over Revival weekend, there are plenty of new surprises in store to keep us intrigued over the coming months.
This is of course just the start of our preparations towards the 2025 Revival, be sure to keep an eye out for many more future announcements about this event, the 2025 Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard and the 82nd Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport. But for now, get stuck into the 2025 Revival race list, to get a first taste of which cars you can expect to see in action next September.
Freddie March Memorial Trophy
A 60-minute, two-driver race for cars in the spirit of the Goodwood Nine Hour races of 1952-1955.
Few races encapsulate the spirit of Revival quite like the Freddie March Memorial Trophy. It’s named after the 9th Duke of Richmond, who brought motorsport to Goodwood in 1948, and features cars reminiscent of those that raced in the evocative Goodwood Nine Hours that helped to elevate the Motor Circuit onto the world stage.
The grid is set to be packed with stunning ‘50s sportscars, most notably the Aston Martin DB3S, which won two of the three runnings of the Goodwood Nine Hours, and the Jaguar C-type, supplemented by more niche machinery like the distinctive Allard J2X.
Madgwick Cup
A 25-minute race for sports racing cars of under 3.0-litres of a type that raced between 1960-1966.
The Madgwick Cup has taken on many forms over the years, since it was first introduced as a race for Formula 2 cars in 1948. At the 2025 Goodwood Revival, it will see a field of svelte sportscars from 1960-’66, taking inspiration from sportscar races that took place during the 60th-64th Members’ Meetings.
Expect to see rear-engined Lotus 23Bs battling with Elva Mk7s and Brabham BT5s, all powered by engines smaller than 3.0-litres, majoring on agility and corner speeds over outright power.
Goodwood Trophy
A 20-minute race for Grand Prix and Voiturette cars of a type that raced between 1930 and 1951.
The Goodwood Trophy brings together the kind of grid that launched Formula 1 at the Motor Circuit back in 1948, when pre-war Grand Prix and Voiturette cars raced side by side, pitting 1.5-litre supercharged machines against naturally aspirated 4.5-litre adversaries.
It makes for a wonderfully varied line-up with 1930s Maseratis and ERAs taking on later models like the Maserati 4CLT and Talbot-Lago T26C, right through to the pinnacle of British engineering at that time, the V16 BRM.
Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy
Two 25-minute, two-driver races for 500cc Grand Prix motorcycles of a type that raced between 1948 and 1966.
It wouldn’t be a Revival meeting without the exploits of many of the world’s greatest motorcycle racers lighting up the Motor Circuit during the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy. Each year we rotate between motorcycles from the 1950s and 1960s, and in 2025 it’s the turn of the ‘60s machines to head out on track.
Split into two parts, riders will each share the saddles of Matchless G50s Norton Manx 30Ms and more. With a Le Mans start and pitstops for driver changes, there will be plenty of opportunity for drama before the combined winners are announced on Sunday.
Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy
A 45-minute, two-driver race for closed-cockpit GT cars of a type that raced before 1963.
Sir Stirling Moss won the RAC Tourist Trophy in 1960 and ’61 in a Ferrari 250 GTO, and he is remembered at the Revival with a race that brings together the kinds of cars that featured in those events.
A shoo-in for the most beautiful race of the year award, the field is packed with Ferrari 250 GTs, AC Cobras, Jaguar E-types and Aston Martin DB4GTs. Many of these are cars that Moss himself would have raced in period, so to see them all in action on the Motor Circuit is the perfect homage to one of motorsport’s greatest.
Whitsun Trophy
A 25-minute race for sports-racing prototypes of a type that raced between 1960 and 1966.
The fastest and loudest race of the Revival weekend, the Whitsun Trophy brings together prototype racers that were at the peak of their powers towards the end of Goodwood’s original run as a motorsport venue in 1965 and ’66.
In a high-octane battle between booming high-capacity V8 engines, closed-cockpit Ford GT40s will face off against open-cockpit Lola T70 Spyders and McLaren M1As. Window frames will rattle when the flag falls for this one.
Fordwater Trophy
A 25-minute race for production sports and GT cars of a type that raced from 1964-1966.
The Fordwater returns once again in 2025, but in a new form that celebrates a varied era of production-based sportscars that competed through the mid-1960s. This race has taken on several forms over the years since it first featured on the Revival schedule back in 2000, including the event’s first fully-sustainably-fuelled race in 2023.
In 2025, it’ll feature a grid of cars from 1964-’66, including Lotus Elan 26Rs, Shelby Mustang GT350s and Alfa Romeo TZ1s for what will be one of the more eclectic grids of the weekend.
St. Mary’s Trophy
Two 25-minute races for production-based saloon cars of a type that raced between 1950-1959.
Every race at the Revival has its own story to tell, but none perhaps capture the spirit of this event quite like the St. Mary’s Trophy. In 2025, it’ll be a race for 1950s saloon cars that’s split into two halves. First up will be a field of VIP drivers before the owners head out, with both results combined to crown an overall winner.
The St. Mary’s Trophy often delivers some of the best racing action of the Revival weekend. We’ve seen many of motorsport’s biggest names take part in this race over the years, with Jenson Button and Jimmie Johnson engaging in a particularly dramatic battle at the wheel of diminutive tin tops. Expect to see Austin A40s up against Alfa Romeo Giuliettas and Jaguar Mk1s.
Chichester Cup
A 25-minute race for front-engined Formula Junior cars
What makes the Revival so great is the sheer variety of cars in action over three days at the Goodwood Motor Circuit. You get everything from some of history’s greatest GT racers to these dramatically more modest Formula Junior racers. Modest they may be, but no less significant. The likes of Jim Clark and John Surtees made their single-seater debuts in these sorts of cars.
In 2025, the Chichester Cup will feature some of the very earliest front-engined Formula Junior racers that competed through the late 1950s before the world of single-seaters embraced the rear-engined revolution.
Richmond & Gordon Trophies
A 25-minute race for 2.5-litre Grand Prix cars of a type that raced between 1952 and 1960.
The Richmond & Gordon Trophies pay homage to the story of F1 at Goodwood. Following the initial developments from motorsport from pre-war machinery to newer post-war engineering, the pinnacle of global motor racing began to evolve at a rapid pace. In the space of a decade, the front-engined cars were rendered obsolete by the switch to more nimble rear-engined configurations.
But there was a brief period during the late 1950s when stubborn Italians refused to acknowledge the superiority of such unworthy British upstarts. The heavier Maserati 250Fs and Ferrari 246s remained on the grid to battle against revolutionary Coopers, BRMs and Lotuses. It was a remarkable era, brought back to life by the Richmond & Gordon Trophies.
RAC TT Celebration
A 60-minute, two-driver race for closed-cockpit GT and selected prototype cars in the spirit of the RAC TT races.
Things are rarely too serious at the Goodwood Revival, but the atmosphere does gather a hint of tension as focus turns to the RAC TT Celebration on Sunday afternoon. A race steeped in prestige, the one that every driver wants to win, it never fails to deliver a dramatic result, not least in 2024, when Tom Ingram completed a memorable drive to take victory ahead of Jake Hill in the closing laps.
As its name suggests, this is a Celebration of the RAC Tourist Trophy races that were held as rounds of the World Sportscar Championship here at Goodwood from 1958 to 1964. You can also expect to see many of the most spectacular cars of the Revival in action here; everything from brutal AC Cobras to sleek Jaguar E-type ‘lightweights’, TVR Griffiths, Porsche 904s and perhaps even Duncan Pittaway’s famous Cheetah.
Glover Trophy
A 25-minute race for 1.5-litre Grand Prix cars of a type that raced between 1961 and 1965.
The final representation of F1 at the Revival, and possibly the most romantic of the lot. The Glover Trophy was originally presented to winners of one of Goodwood’s most prestigious races from 1955 to 1963. By this time, F1 racing was an established part of Goodwood’s motorsport portfolio, and many of the world’s most esteemed drivers would regularly attend in order to compete for this famous trophy.
Won in period by the likes of Roy Salvadori, Stirling Moss, Mike Hawthorn, Innes Ireland, John Surtees and Graham Hill, the Glover Trophy holds a special place in the history of Goodwood, and anyone lucky enough to be on the grid, driving any number of legendary 1960s F1 cars from Lotus, BRM, Cooper and Ferrari, will be continuing the story of this great spectacle.
Sussex Trophy
A 25-minute race for World Championship sports cars and production sports-racing cars of a type raced between 1955 and 1960.
Quite possibly the most beautiful race at the Goodwood Revival, the Sussex Trophy evokes a truly magical era of sportscar racing when form and function were one and the same. These late-’50s sportscars, designed to be as beautiful as they were fast, are renowned for their sumptuous lines and equally enticing engine notes.
With Lotus 15s and Lister Knobblys mixing it with Jaguar D-Types and Lola Mk1s, there’ll be no shortage of exquisite bodywork and engineering. These stunning open-cockpit sportscars, which would have competed regularly in the World Sportscar Championship, including at Le Mans, are an unmissable sight at the Revival.
