2026 Goodwood Revival timetable

Friday at the 2026 Goodwood Revival 

The opening day of the Revival is going to be busier than ever in 2026, with 13 Official Practice sessions followed by two races on Friday evening.  

Friday morning will begin with the Track Opening Parade, which will see a swarm of Vespas, Lambrettas and more take to the Motor Circuit to get proceedings off to a vibrant and uplifting start. 

Official Practice for the 1960s saloon cars of the St. Mary’s Trophy presented by Motul will get the competitive action underway, followed by sessions for the early-1960s GT racers of the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy and the rear-engined Formula Juniors of the Chichester Cup.  

The first of a series of tributes to Sir Jack Brabham will lead into Official Practice for the Brooklands Trophy, a race for pre-war sportscars, and the first outing for the historic motorcycles of the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy. 

Prepare to be smitten by the sumptuous line-up expected for this year’s Lavant Cup which will see the Battle of Modena rejoined by 1950s sportscars from Ferrari and Maserati. 

The early Grand Prix and voiturette racers of the Goodwood Trophy will be followed by the 1950s F1 machinery of the Richmond & Gordon Trophies. Then it’s more stunning sportscars as the Sussex Trophy field emerges for its Official Practice session before the second celebration of the day shines a spotlight on Maserati. 

An unmissable afternoon continues with the 1950s sportscars of the Freddie March Memorial Trophy, before the main event players of the RAC TT Celebration emerge for their first Official Practice session. 

The Practice action ends on Friday with the cacophonous Whitsun Trophy and the romance of the Glover Trophy’s 1960s F1 cars. 

Racing action will close the day, and it’ll be worth the wait, because Part 1 of the St. Mary’s Trophy will be followed by the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy, which will bring the Motor Circuit to a close on Friday. 

Saturday at the 2026 Goodwood Revival 

Saturday will see the Vespas return for their Track Opening Parade, followed by the first of seven races when the Chichester Cup gets underway. That’s followed by the second Official Practice session for the RAC TT Celebration, before the flag drops for the Brooklands Trophy. 

The really serious business begins with the first part of the Settrington Cup, a race for Austin J40s, before the first part of the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy. 

Sir Jack Brabham’s life and career will then be back in the limelight, followed by the much-anticipated Lavant Cup and the Goodwood Trophy. That’ll lead nicely into Saturday’s celebration of Maserati. 

The second day of historic racing action will be brought to a close by the Richmond & Gordon Trophies, and the ever-gorgeous Sussex Trophy. 

Super Sunday at the 2026 Goodwood Revival 

The major headline ahead of this year’s Revival is that the RAC TT Celebration is getting a glow up, a new look befitting the glamour of the most prestigious race in historic motorsport. 

But Sunday isn’t all about the RAC TT Celebration, in fact the organisers have hand-picked six of the best races of the weekend to lay out a truly stelar programme for the closing day of the meeting. 

The final outing for the track opening Vespas will be followed by the second part of the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy and the Freddie March Memorial Trophy, before the concluding part of the Settrington Cup gets underway. 

The Whitsun Trophy and the ever-entertaining St. Mary’s Trophy will be sandwiched by celebrations of Maserati and Jack Brabham, before the Glover Trophy signals the end of the build-up for the day’s main event. 

Goodwood’s blue riband motor race, the RAC TT Celebration, now takes its place as the final race of the schedule; the climax of the weekend; the crescendo to which the entire event will build anticipation. 

But the day won’t end when the chequered flag drops, quite the opposite, in fact. The podium celebrations for the RAC TT Celebration will be the cue for an afternoon of frivolity to begin, as the 2026 Revival draws to a close with the all-new closing party on the grid. 

That too will lead into the traditional prize giving ceremony, where you’ll be able to show your appreciation for the best drivers and riders of the weekend. 

Timings for each session will be confirmed in due course, but 2026 looks set to deliver one of the most spectacular Goodwood Revivals to date. September 18^th-20^th can’t come soon enough.
