The 83rd Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport once again opens the Goodwood motorsport season in 2026 as the very best historic racing returns to the world-famous Motor Circuit. It’s going to be another thrilling weekend of action on track, with familiar faces joined by brand new names across a 13-race schedule studded with legendary machinery, and we have all the details of what’s coming up right here courtesy of the 83rd Members’ Meeting entry list.
Four additional motorsport celebrations will supplement the weekend’s racing action. Jenson Button will return to the cockpit of his 2009 Formula 1 World Championship-winning Brawn GP car, a collection of 1970s F1 cars will salute the memory of 1976 World Champion James Hunt, the golden era of touring cars will roar back to life with the Super Touring Shoot-Out, and the first of three moments to remember Barry Sheene in 2026 will punctuate the Super Sunday schedule.

It’ll be the sub-2.0-litre touring cars of the Win Percy Trophy that get underway first on Saturday afternoon, Group 1 machines driven by a huge list of motorsport stars. ‘Mr Le Mans’ and Darnley House Captain Tom Kristensen will be on the limit in a Volkswagen Golf GTI, five-time Le Mans winner Emanuele Pirro will do battle in an Audi 80 GLE and four-time British Touring Car Champion Colin Turkington will join the fray in a Ford Fiesta.
They’ll be joined by Alex Brundle, who’ll be climbing into his dad’s BMW 323i, two-time Le Mans winner Romain Dumas in a Ford Escort RS2000, and Goodwood Hill record holder Max Chilton in a Toyota Corolla 1600GT Coupe.
The Win Percy trophy will also see the sibling rivalry between Dario and Marino Franchitti come to the fore. The pair will be captaining the Houses of Torbolton and Methuen respectively, and this will be their first opportunity to bag some bragging rights across the weekend.
Motorcycle racing is always exciting at Goodwood, and the Hailwood Trophy will once again deliver a healthy dose of unmissable two-wheeled action. Four-stroke Formula 750 motorcycles will compete against 250 and 350cc Grand Prix bikes from the 1970s and early 1980s, with Yamaha TZ350s making up the majority of the field alongside Triumph Tridents, Rocket 3s, Nortons and more.
Engineering names like Rob North, Maxton and Harris are all represented, while big name riders including James Hillier, Michael Rutter and Maria Costello will be attempting to bump Dan Jackson of his perch as last year’s dominant race winner.

A unique sight at Goodwood, the S.F. Edge Trophy brings together the most eye-catching grid of cars you’re ever likely to see. A field of Edwardian monsters — many of them more than 100 years old — will be driven like it’s 1910 all over again for our viewing pleasure at the 83rd Members’ Meeting in the hands of motorsport’s bravest individuals.
It’s a window to an alien era, where names like Humber, Clement, Abbot-Detroit, Monarch, Pic Pic and Napier were at the very pinnacle of automotive development. It’s a very different experience to contemporary motorsport, many of these cars are powered by gargantuan aero engines that shake your insides as they rumble past.
Duncan Pittaway’s 28.4-litre Fiat S76 ‘Beast of Turin’ will be unmistakeable amongst a varied grid of cars that also includes Julian Majzub’s Sunbeam ‘Indianapolis’, Ben Collings’ Mercedes 120hp and Christopher Mann’s stunning Alfa Romeo RL TF.
This one’s bound to be good. A single-make race dedicated to the Jaguar E-type, where 30 pre-’63 models will go wheel-to-wheel in what is sure to be one of the most memorable showpieces of the Members’ Meeting weekend.
Another grid that’s set to be filled with world-famous motor racing talent, the Protheroe Cup will pit these drivers against one another in very similar machinery. Jenson Button has become an experienced peddler of E-types in recent years, having recently acquired his own to go racing at Goodwood. Dario Franchitti will look to see off the challenge of touring car legends Steve Soper and Rob Huff, while Emanuele Pirro and British GT stalwart Phil Keen will also be in action.

Alongside the S.F. Edge Trophy, the Varzi Trophy is perhaps the most fascinating of all the races across the Members’ Meeting weekend. This year it’s a race dedicated to the heritage of Bugatti and Alfa Romeo, bringing two powerhouses of 1920s Grand Prix racing together for the ultimate battle to decide the original motorsport master.
Bugatti Type 35s will face Alfa Romeo 8C Monzas in an intriguing contest, driven by many of the world’s best historic racers. Julian Majzub, Patrick Blakeney-Edwards and Duncan Pittaway are all recognised Goodwood greats, and will be joined on the grid by Marino Franchitti, who’ll be testing his skills at the wheel of a 1927 Bugatti Type 35B.
It wouldn’t be a proper Goodwood race meeting without some good old fashioned V8 savagery, and it’ll be served up in two courses at the 83rd Members’ Meeting. First up is the Bruce McLaren Trophy, which returns after a long time away to bring us unfiltered warfare between Can-Am and Group 7 prototypes.
Lola T70 Spyders will go up against McLaren M1s in a remarkable reignition of an epic 1960s era supplemented by contenders from the likes of Porsche, Lotus, Elva and Chevron. Julien Draper will be flying the underdog flag with his distinctive Attila MkIII, while Jakob Viggo Holstein’s Ferrari-engined Lotus 19 is something you probably didn’t have on your bingo card.

Then it’s the V8 main course, a monumental field made up predominantly of Ford GT40s, Shelby Cobras and Chevrolet Corvettes, enriched by stunning Jaguar E-types, a Bizzarrini 5300 GT Corsa, an Iso Grifo, a Ferrari 250LM and a Porsche 904.
The Phil Hill Cup has the potential to be the most exciting race of the weekend, especially when you take a look at the list of drivers that includes Jenson Button, at the wheel of his own CUT 8 E-type, and Rob Huff.
Another likely contender for most exciting race of the 83rd Members’ Meeting is the Gordon Spice Trophy, the big-engined Group 1 touring car showdown that has always delivered spectacular racing.
Ford Capris, Chevrolet Camaros and Rover 3500 SD1s will make up the majority of the field, with drivers like Jenson Button, Darren Turner, David Brabham, Romain Dumas, Tom Kristensen and Matt Neal all sharing driving duties with hugely talented owner-drivers.
Cars worth keeping an eye on will be the BMW 530i of Nicholas Padmore and Goodwood’s own Ed Foster, the Camaro Z28 of Alex Buncombe and Jack Tetley, and the Volvo 242 of Dario Franchitti and Jack Layton.

Historic single-seater racing is always incredibly emotive, especially here at Goodwood, and the Derek Bell Cup will again offer up the best version of 1,00cc Formula 3 action you’ll find anywhere in the world.
It’s another one of those races that brings together a huge variety of makes onto one grid. Brabham, March, Chevron and Lotus are all names you’ll have heard before, but they’ll be joined on the Motor Circuit by some more niche entries from the likes of Titan, De Sanctis, Merlyn, Tecno and Alexis.
Andrew Hibberd, a three-time winner of this race, will be the man to beat in his Brabham BT18, but the likes of Peter de la Roche and Jeremy Timms will also expect to go well.
The final race on the programme is the Peter Collins Trophy, a race for 1950s sportscars that will bring together machinery from Frazer Nash, Jaguar and more. The majority of the field will be made up of British cars, with Allard, Jowett and AC also represented.
Stunning looks was seemingly a pre-requisite in the admissions process for this particular race, as XK120s will go head-to-head with a pair of Porsche 356s. The AC Ace included here is a gorgeous little thing, as are the many Frazer Nash variants due to take the start, everything from a 1951 Mille Miglia to a 1954 Targa Florio.

The 83rd Members’ Meeting is preparing to host the biggest ever collection of Super Tourers, with close to 50 cars set to be in attendance around the paddocks and on track. The catalogue of entrants includes Alfa Romeos 155s and 156s, Audi A4 quattros, BMW 318is, BMW 320is, an incredibly niche Dodge Stratus, Ford Mondeos, Honda Accords, Nissan Primeras, Peugeots 405 and 406, a Renault 19, a Renault Laguna, a Toyota Carina, Vauxhall Cavaliers, Vauxhall Vectras, Volvo 850 Estates and a Volvo S40.
Seven of those cars will also be lining up to take part in this year’s Shoot-Out event, each with a touring car legend behind the wheel.
Celebrating the 1976 F1 World Champion is no mean feat when you consider the man’s character and his overwhelming popularity which remains to this day. The cars of The James Hunt Years are phenomenal to experience, both in terms of looks and their sound. Powered almost exclusively by the Cosworth DFV, it was an era defined by that unmistakable roar, and we’ll all be soaking up that atmosphere when these 1970s F1 cars roll out onto the Motor Circuit.
The headliners will of course be those cars most closely related to Hunt himself. The Hesketh 308 is the car he drove to his first F1 victory, while the McLaren M26 is the car raced as the reigning World Champion. They’ll be joined on track by the innovative six-wheeled Tyrrell P34, the plucky Theodore TR1 and the March 761.
Two particularly special cars, the 1976 Championship-winning McLaren M23, and the Ferrari 312T of Hunt’s great rival, Niki Lauda, will be on statis display throughout the weekend in the paddocks.

Matching the feel of that F1 celebration, the Barry Sheene celebration will bring a collection of motorcycles to perfectly highlight the career of one of Britain’s most well-loved and successful riders.
Sheene was best known for his extraordinary success on Suzuki machinery, and there will be as many as nine of his most recognisable bikes in attendance at the 83rd Members’ Meeting. They’ll be positioned alongside a batch of Yamaha bikes, which were and remain the perfect foil for Sheene’s incredible career, representing an important chapter in his life as a World Champion.
A final exciting and very important detail at this year’s event is the reunion of Jenson Button with his World Championship-winning Brawn BGP 001. The 83rd Members’ Meeting will bring all three of the Brawn GP chassis together for what is believed to be the first time ever. Not even at F1 race weekends during its single competitive season were all three cars together at a single racetrack, but Goodwood will see them all united.
Button will of course be climbing into the cockpit for a series of demonstration laps across both days of the event, but all three cars are going to be looking spectacular in their iconic liveries, and we can’t wait to see them take pride of place in the Motor Circuit paddocks.
The 83rd Members' Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport takes place on the 18th & 19th April 2026. Tickets are limited, with only Sunday admission remaining. Saturday tickets, weekend passes and grandstand passes are now sold out.
