Pre-Event Testing Days
GRRC members have exclusive access to watch the on-track testing, explore the paddocks and speak to the people who make historic motorsport at Goodwood what it is.
Overview
Each year, we invite the teams, owners and drivers to put their cars and bikes through their paces on the Goodwood Motor Circuit ahead of both the Members' Meeting and the Goodwood Revival. Whether drivers are reunited with familiar friends or getting to grips with a car or bike that's new to them, it's always an intimate and exciting preview of the thrills to come.
Once again in 2024, we're offering the GRRC community exclusive access to these test days so you can watch the on-track testing, explore the paddocks and speak to the people who make historic motorsport at Goodwood what it is.

When you arrive for the test day, you will be entering a live construction site. Please be mindful of heavy plant and construction activity whilst onsite.
For your safety, we have created pedestrian routes around the site to the areas from where you can safely watch the on-track action, and visit the Paddocks. It is VERY important that you stay within these zones, which will be clearly marked.
Please note that access to the whole Circuit will be restricted and track viewing zones are designated.
Marshals will be on hand to direct you. Please follow all instructions from our Goodwood Marshals - they are here, as ever, to keep you safe.
Those unable to use the pedestrian tunnel to cross the track should speak to marshals who will let you know when it is possible to cross the track between batches.
