The Goodwood Motor Circuit is a historic venue for both two and four-wheeled motorsport, close to the South Coast of England. Based on the Goodwood Estate, the two-and-a-half mile circuit completely encircles Chichester Goodwood Airport near Chichester, West Sussex.
Riders aged 13-17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, though the guardian doesn’t need to cycle on the track. Children under 12 must be accompanied on the track by a paying parent or guardian.
The Aerodrome Café is open year-round, while the Motor Circuit Café runs April-October, serving hot and cold refreshments plus snacks.
The Horsebox opens seasonally, offering refreshments, toasties, and sweet treats - perfect for a bite while you're with us.
13-17-year-olds must be accompanied by a parent/guardian but do not need to be on track cycling. Under-12s must be accompanied on track with a paying parent/guardian.
It is very unusual for us to have to cancel cycling sessions due to weather. Should there be particularly adverse weather forecast (such as snow, ice, heavy rain) we will contact you ahead of the date and arrange for you to come on an alternative day. Please call 01243 755055 if in any doubt.
The track is open for cycling for the whole family on certain Sundays throughout the year from 10 am - 4 pm. The last entry onto the Circuit is 30 minutes prior to the session end time. There is no maximum time limit on how long you can cycle.
Family, friends and children are welcome to spectate. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Dogs are permitted but must be kept on a leash at all times.
Participants must wear helmets on all of our cycling sessions and will not be permitted access to the track without one. You do not need to wear any special clothing, but we do recommend that comfortable, sensible clothing and trainers are worn.
