Overview

2026 marks a significant milestone in British motorsport history as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first British Grand Prix, held at Brooklands in August 1926. To honour this landmark occasion and reflect on the pioneering spirit that helped shape motorsport in Britain and the rich heritage celebrated at Goodwood today, we are delighted to bring our GRRC community together for a special evening talk at the historic Hever Castle.

As we gather to celebrate this milestone, motorsport historian Harry Sherrard and renowned journalist and broadcaster Maurice Hamilton will take guests on a journey through the rivalries, personalities and defining moments that have shaped Britain's greatest motor race. From the legendary battles of Campbell and Seagrave at Brooklands and Moss and Fangio at Aintree, through to Stewart and Peterson, Hunt and Lauda and Hamilton and Verstappen, the talk will explore the iconic racing heritage that continues to be celebrated at Goodwood today. With canapés, refreshments and a glass in hand, guests can look forward to an evening of fascinating stories, unique insights and memorable anecdotes that bring to life the drama, innovation and competition of a century of British Grand Prix racing.
