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.

Celebrating a legend as remarkable as Barry Sheene would be impossible to squeeze into a single day, so you can enjoy motorcycle action across all three days of the event. Bikes will first hit the track for Official Practice at 12:10 ahead of Part 1 of the race at 12:50 on Saturday. Part 2 will follow on Sunday at 09:35, kicking off the final day of racing action in thrilling style.
There’s no shortage of talent in this year’s Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy, with the likes of World Superbike and Isle of Man TT riders among the entry list. Davey Todd, John McGuiness, Troy Bayliss, Andy Hornby and Ian Hutchinson are amongst some of the racing royalty set to grace the Goodwood Revival in 2026. We can’t wait to see these racers take to the historic straights of the circuit and see the side-by-side action we all know and love.

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.
