Goodwood Revival

With just one month to go, Goodwood has confirmed an impressive line-up of over 70 star drivers and riders attending the 2011 Revival (16-18 September).

Touring Car talent will be campaigning hard in 1960s saloons in the St Mary’s Trophy race, including DTM star (and eight-time Le Mans winner) Tom Kristensen, four-time World Touring Car Champion Andy Priaulx, and BTCC legends John Cleland, Anthony Reid, Paul Radisich, Darren Tuner, Alec Poole, Tony Dron and Patrick Watts. 

These tip top racers will be joined by Scandinavian rallying greats Stig Blomqvist and Rauno Aaltonen, plus ex-Grand Prix stars Martin Brundle, Emanuele Pirro, Jochen Mass, Derek Bell, Richard Attwood, Tiff Needell, Desire Wilson, Brian Redman, Jackie Oliver, Vern Schuppan and Arturo Merzario, who are all sure to entertain the Revival spectators.

One highlight is expected to be the Fordwater Trophy, which this year is being held exclusively for competition Jaguar E-types as this iconic British sportscar celebrates its half-century.  Fashion is also part of the Goodwood extravaganza, visitors encouraged to wear the clothes from its famous past, the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.  Plenty of ‘off the track’ activities add to the real value of the event. www.goodwood.co.uk
