2026 Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy preview | Goodwood Revival

14th September 2026
Annabel Heaton

Rekindling the spirit of one of the most iconic figures ever to get on a bike, the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy features motorcycles from 1948 to 1966 in a 25-minute two-rider race, all with the added cinema of a Le Mans-style start. As we celebrate the history of these wonderful bikes at the Goodwood Revival presented by Dunlop, spectators will experience the theatre of riders running to their machines in their efforts to reach Madgwick first.

Which bikes will be in the 2026 Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy? 

With Sheene’s last race of his career coming at the Goodwood Revival in 2002 on a Norton Manx, it would be a crime for these marques to not feature in the race — good thing we have an abundance of them ready to race. Alongside these winning machines, a featured bike that’s rarer still is the 1954 Royal Enfield Meteor, with only one in the 30-bike grid, alongside the Matchless’ and Triumphs populating the line-up.

Saturday tickets and 3-Day passes for the Goodwood Revival have now sold out, and Friday and Sunday tickets are limited.
