As we reflected on what was one of the very best Goodwood Revival weekends we've ever had, the action on the Motor Circuit subsided and attention turned to the traditional Prize Giving ceremony, where the deeds of many of our great drivers and riders would be recognised.
With prizes to be awarded for the best drivers of the Revival, the fastest laps for both cars and motorcyles, and several other commendable individuals who helped to make the weekend as special as it was, Prize Giving is always an enjoyable moment of the weekend.

1. Richard Menage – 1936 Focke Wolf Stieglitz
2. Sebastien Mazzuchetti – 1939 Spartan Executive
3. The Navy Wings Heritage Flight – 1941 Fairey Swordfish
