Goodwood Revival 2007 – Race Schedule & Timetable

5/4/2007

The tenth Goodwood Revival – which takes place over the weekend of 31 August, 1 and 2 September – is set to build on the event’s record-breaking success last year, offering visitors of all ages a chance to revel in the romance and glamour of motor racing as it used to be.

The Revival is the only sporting event in the world set entirely to a period theme. Every year, spectators and competitors take a magical step back in time by getting into the effervescent Goodwood spirit. The majority of visitors dress in appropriate clothing from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, considering it all part of the fun. The lovingly restored circuit is unchanged from its heyday (1948-1966), and great lengths are taken to ensure that everything on the site is exactly as it was. No modern vehicles are allowed within the circuit perimeter throughout the weekend – period vehicles provide all essential services and competitor support. Bands play 1950s music, the corn stooks on the circuit infield are made from a specially-grown crop with extra-long stalks for hand cutting rather than combine harvesting, and even the food has a 1950s flavour.

While the event format and timetable remains essentially unchanged, there will be some changes to the types of races run in order to make the weekend more action-packed and enjoyable for spectators and competitors alike (please see separate story). Friday remains a full day of exciting qualifying, while both Saturday and Sunday will see a thrilling racing programme.

The Goodwood Revival is an action-packed weekend of historic motor racing and period theatre for all the family. Below is a list of the race schedule and a general summary timetable, giving details of the weekend’s provisional schedule, which is subject to change:
