2026 RAC TT Celebration preview | Goodwood Revival

When is the 2026 RAC TT Celebration? 

This spectacular grid of 1960s GT icons will first arrive on track on Friday for an Official Practice session at 15:45. Tuning up for the main event continues with another Official Practice session at 09:55 on Saturday.

The flagship race of the weekend, the RAC TT Celebration is the grand finale of track action on Sunday, providing an hour-long spectacle of priceless heritage and fierce racing to close out the event. The race will commence at 16:00, before the waving of the chequered flag welcomes the start of Revival’s first-ever Closing Party at 17:10, to which all spectators are invited to attend and celebrate. 

Who’s competing in the 2026 RAC TT Celebration?

The 2026 RAC TT Celebration is set to feature a star-studded grid of motorsport champions, headlined by a head-to-head clash between Formula 1 titleholders Jenson Button and Jacques Villeneuve. They are joined by decorated international greats, including endurance record-holder Tom Kristensen, NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson, touring car standout Colin Turkington, and Indy 500 legend Hélio Castroneves making his historic racing debut at the Goodwood Revival.

Which cars will be in the 2026 RAC TT Celebration?

It’ll be a roaring spectacle of 1960s GT icons on Sunday afternoon, when the cars for the RAC TT Celebration gather on the Motor Circuit. Beautifully svelte Jaguar E-types — including the legendary ‘CUT 7’ and ‘CUT 8’ examples — are set to dominate the grid alongside a thunderous fleet of V8-powered AC Cobras. A scattering of muscular Corvette Sting Rays, savage TVR Griffiths, and sleek Bizzarrini 5300GTs will join them, while a highly unique Lister-Jaguar Coupe and a rare ‘lowdrag’ E-type Lightweight represent some of the most exotic silhouettes in the field.

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