The 2022 Goodwood Revival will see top level racing drivers from almost 30 different championships race together; featuring everything from F1 champions to multiple Le Mans winners, Indy 500 victors and those who’ve tasted NASCAR glory.
Three drivers who’ve been crowned Formula 1 World Champion, a total of five times between them, will take to the track. The 2009 champion, Jenson Button, returns to race after his first taste of classic car racing at the 2021 Revival, while Sir Jackie Stewart and Damon Hill will join in with our celebration of the Hill’s double F1 champion father Graham.
In total 12 drivers who have raced at the very top level of single seater racing will be on track at the Revival. These include the new Hill record holder at the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, Max Chilton and commentary legend Martin Brundle.

They will be led by the reigning Le Mans champion, current Toyota Gazoo Racing star, triple Le Mans winner, two-time World Endurance Champion and former F1 driver Brendon Hartley. He will be joined by “Mr Le Mans” himself, Tom Kristensen, triple champions Andre Lotterer, Benoit Treluyer and Marcel Fässler, and the most experienced driver in La Sarthe history, Henri Pescarolo.
