Just a couple of months later the Revival will take up its usual spot closing the season at the start of September – this time over the weekend of the 13th-15th.
The Revival Meeting, since 1998 a magical step back in time that each September recreates and celebrates the circuit’s golden age of racing between the late 1940s and mid-1960s, all played out in front of a period, movie-set backdrop. Expect to see awesome touring car battles, epic classic Formula 1 duels, two wheeled action and the mighty big-banger GTs battling for the RAC TT.
Those halcyon days
The romance and glamour of motor racing as it used to be. The Revival is the only historic race meeting to be staged entirely in period dress and is a return to the halcyon days of Goodwood as the spiritual home of British motor racing.
It’s an unabashed celebration of flat-out wheel-to-wheel racing, around the sweeps and curves of this classic circuit, which remains unchanged since its heyday. The inaugural Revival opened on 18 September 1998, when the Earl of March drove around the circuit in the Bristol 400 in which his grandfather, the 9th Duke of Richmond, opened the track 50 years before. It’s now the world’s most celebrated historic motor racing event, with race fans coming from all over the country to soak up the unique atmosphere in period costume.

Cowdray Park: The home of British Polo
With a long and illustrious history, Cowdray Park is recognized worldwide as the Home of British Polo. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within Viscount Cowdray’s 16,500 acre estate in West Sussex, the game of polo has been played at Cowdray for close on a century – the first competitive tournaments being recorded in 1910. By the 1920s a whole series of competitions with dedicated cups and trophies was firmly established, although the sport in the UK was to all but die out during the Second World War.
Today approximately 450 matches are played each season, with the highlight being the Gold Cup for the British Open Championships and we welcome spectators throughout the season.
The public are welcome to watch all matches at Cowdray Park. Tickets can be bought at the entrance gates to the grounds in play.
You are welcome to bring your own picnic and folding chairs or a rug to sit on, and there are ample viewing areas.
