2026 S.F. Edge Trophy | 83MM

When is the 2026 S.F. Edge Trophy?

This two-part Edwardian motor race unfolds across the weekend, with Official Practice at 10:25 on Saturday. The first competitive outing follows later that afternoon at 17:45, before the race concludes with Part Two on Sunday at 11:30.  

With the largest grid of pre‑war cars on the programme, split across two parts and five intense laps, it promises thrilling, uncompromising competition. This is a race that stands out for its heritage, drama and sheer spectacle.

Who’s competing in the 2026 S.F. Edge Trophy?

A distinguished field of drivers are ready to etch their name into history at the 2026 S.F. Edge Trophy, many returning with unfinished business and proven form. Previous winner Ben Collings is back aboard his formidable 120hp 1907 Mercedes, while Julian Majzub returns in the ever‑dramatic 1916 Sunbeam ‘Indianapolis’, a car intimately linked with some of the closest finishes in the race’s history.

They will face stiff competition from an experienced and richly varied line‑up, including Duncan Pittaway, Graham Rankin and Ivan Fox. With many of the drivers deeply familiar with both Goodwood and the unique demands of Edwardian machinery, the stage is set for another fiercely contested encounter where precision, bravery and mechanical sympathy are equally vital.

Which cars will be in the 2026 S.F. Edge Trophy?

The S.F. Edge Trophy will feature the largest grid of pre‑war cars on the fixture list, spanning the pioneering years of competitive circuit racing and endurance competition. This embraces an extraordinary range of Edwardian and early post‑Edwardian machinery, from monumental aero‑engined racers to delicate Grand Prix liveries.

Among the standout entries are the Fiat S76 ‘Beast of Turin’, Peugeot Indianapolis, Napier Grand Prix, Delage GP Voiturette, Bugatti 8 Valve and Mercedes 120hp, alongside nostalgic representatives from Sunbeam, Bentley, Vauxhall, Alfa Romeo, De Dion‑Bouton and Talbot.

From brute force and innovative engineering to refined early racing design, this grid offers a vivid cross‑section of motorsport’s formative years, cars that represent the very first steps toward modern Grand Prix racing.
