2026 Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy preview | Goodwood Revival
Simply the most beautiful race of the Goodwood Revival presented by Dunlop, the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy is a breathtaking tribute to a British motorsport legend. Priceless pre-1963 closed-cockpit GT cars do battle in this fierce, two-driver contest, honouring ‘Mr. Goodwood’ himself in this timeless blend of automotive elegance and unapologetic, wheel-to-wheel historic racing.
When is the 2026 Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy?
This stunning grid of early-1960s icons will first head out for an Official Practice session at 10:00 on Friday. Following a massive update to the Revival schedule, the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy will now take place on Friday evening, serving as the final on-track action of the day. The flag for this 45-minute race will drop at 18:25, meaning we’ll be able to enjoy these iconic machines tear through the corners under the fading twilight, bringing a whirlwind first day of the Goodwood Revival to an atmospheric close.
Who’s competing in the 2026 Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy?
The 2026 Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy boasts an extraordinary line-up of international racing icons and champion drivers. ‘Mr. Le Mans’ Tom Kristensen will make his first appearance of the weekend here, while five-time Le Mans winner Emanuele Pirro will be challenging at the front. They’re set to be joined by former World Touring Car Champion Rob Huff, racing brothers Max and Tom Chilton, and returning fan-favourites including Formula 1 Champion Jenson Button, Dario Franchitti and Karun Chandhok.
Which cars are competing in the 2026 Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy?
The grid is a beautiful, multi-million-pound rolling museum of early 1960s GT machinery. Breathtaking Ferrari 250 GT SWBs — the model Moss loved most — and svelte Jaguar E-types will lead the charge. They’ll be sharing the track with ultra-rare Aston Martin DB4GTs and a special Mercedes-Benz 300 SL ‘Gullwing’, among a booming fleet of other historic beauties to accompany them on the grid.
