Of course, but not straight away. When your membership comes up for renewal, you simply need to let the Club know you would like to relinquish your membership and purchase Fellowship instead. Please note that if at any time you would like to become a full member again, you will first need to activate your member-in-waiting status and then wait for a place to become available.

No. The Club does not run a referral scheme where existing members can put forward recommendations for new members. Entry into the club is by waiting list only.

The membership runs from 1 January to 31 December each year.

Membership renewals open in late October in order to allow members to take advantage of their priority booking window for the following year's headline events and we ask that the membership fees are paid by no later than 31 December.

You can pay your membership fees in a number of ways. By far the simplest is by direct debit (see below) or online at https://www.goodwood.com/motorsport/grrc-membership/grrc-renewals/.

You can renew over the phone with the GRRC Team on +44 (0)1243 755057 or with our Customer Sales team on +44 (0) 1243 755055.

Yes. Simply complete a Direct Debit form before returning to the Club at the below address by the specified date and the direct debit will be set up.The payment for this will be requested from your bank on or around 31 December each year.

DIRECT DEBIT FORM

Please note any new Direct Debit mandate forms need to be returned to the Club no later than Friday 25 November to ensure we process in time for 31 December.

We start to dispatch membership packs from mid-January via a tracked delivery service. We expect all memebrship packs to arrive before the end of March.

For any queries regarding membership please contact the GRRC team either by email on grrc@goodwood.com or by telephoning +44 (0)1243 755057.

Absolutely, there is no age limit on joining the GRRC. On entry (via the normal Fellowship and member in waiting route) you will become a junior member until the age of 22 where you will automatically be upgraded to our adult membership type (in the membership year following your 22nd birthday).

Family membership doubles some of the benefits you receive as an adult member as follows:

• 25% discount on the first 4 general entry and grandstand tickets at the Festival of Speed and Revival
• Access for 4 people to our member-only grandstands at headline events
• 4 Paddock passes for Revival
• Entry for 4 people (one guest per badgeholder) into our members' enclosures at the Festival of Speed and Revival
• The ability to purchase 8 tickets for our upgraded enclosures at the Festival of Speed and Revival
• 2 GRRC member windscreen stickers allowing two cars access to forward parking at our headline events

There is currently a long waiting list for family membership: if you would like to be added, please email the GRRC team at grrc@goodwood.com.

If you wish to cancel your membership please do so in writing to grrc@goodwood.com and we will ensure that your membership is not renewed for the following year. If resigning your membership part way through the year, your membership will continue until the membership year end date of 31 December and if you change your mind about cancelling before this date, you will not lose your place in the Club. If, however, you decide after this date you wish to re-join the GRRC, you first need to become a Fellow and Member in Waiting and then once you reach the top of the wait list we will invite you to join the GRRC again.

Launched in 2017, the Fellowship was established as a way to be part of the Goodwood Road Racing Club, whether you wish to become a full Member when a space becomes available, or simply want to enjoy a carefully selected number of GRRC benefits. Being a member of the GRRC is very sought-after and, in order to maintain the exclusivity of the full Club, capacity is capped. The GRRC Fellowship ensures the Club is accessible for more people to enjoy. 

The Duke of Richmond set up the GRRC over twenty years ago for those who want to be at the heart of Goodwood's world leading motorsport events. Since then, demand to be part of the GRRC has become so strong that the waiting list to become a member is now much bigger than the Club itself, and the waiting time is currently around 5 years. Additionally, we have recognised that membership is not always affordable for younger people, and can be difficult to get the most value from if you're not able to travel to Goodwood and enjoy the events regularly.

Annual pack including a yearly GRRC Fellowship pin badge and windscreen sticker.

Ability to buy tickets to the GRRC-only Members’ Meeting.

10% discount on two admission tickets to both the Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival.

Should you wish to upgrade to full membership, Fellowship allows you to become a ‘Member-in-Waiting’ for full GRRC Membership when a space becomes available, by opting-in free of charge.

Access to the private Fellowship Facebook group.

Exclusive calendar of events throughout the year, including go karting, GRRC-only Breakfast Club, the summer ball, 'An Evening With' reception at the Festival of Speed and the Christmas ball.

Two visits per year for you and your guests to The Kennels, Goodwood's sporting member clubhouse.

The full list of benefits can be viewed here.

The easiest way to purchase a Fellowship is online:

Buy a membership

The cost is £85 per year on a rolling 12-month basis.

Alternatively, you can purchase the Fellowship over the phone by calling the Ticket Office on 01243 755055.

Absolutely. No matter where you live in the world or what age you are, we would love to welcome you to the GRRC Fellowship.

There's no need. Your Fellowship is an ongoing GRRC subscription,and by purchasing it you authorise the GRRC to debit the annual Fellowship price from your account every 12 months, until you cancel your subscription.

You have 48 hours from the time of purchase to cancel your Fellowship and receive a full refund assuming you haven't used any of your digital benefits.

Straight away! All of your discounts will be available to you once you've purchased your Fellowship. Your Fellowship pack, including your pin badge and windscreen sticker, will be despatched within a couple of weeks.

The Fellowship has been introduced to provide benefits for those waiting to become a member, as well as offering relevant benefits to the wider motorsport community that may not be able to travel to Goodwood and enjoy the membership benefits regularly. As such, those part of the Fellowship will enjoy a selected range of benefits, but there are some (such as paddock access at Goodwood Revival) that are solely for members.

You must become part of the Fellowship first. Once you've purchased your Fellowship you will be sent an email reminder to activate your free-of-charge Member-in-Waiting status. As always, spaces in the GRRC membership are limited and we cannot say how long you will have to wait, but we hope you will appreciate these new benefits in the meantime.

When a space becomes available and you're invited to the Membership, the money you have paid for your time as part of the Fellowship will be deducted from the Joining Fee accordingly. If you wish, you can decide to decline the invitation for membership and remain in the Fellowship, but you will lose your place within the Member-in-Waiting line.

Yes! As well as access to our online, digital archive, with over 25 years' of on-track footage, you'll receive our digital and printed newsletters as well as accessing the private Fellowship Facebook group. Even if you only come to one of our headline events each year, you'll appreciate the ticket discount and exclusive enclosures as well as discounts on merchandise.

Yes. Being a part of the Goodwood Road Racing Club is the only way to buy tickets to the GRRC-only Members Meeting.

Those in the Fellowship will also be able to buy tickets for the Festival of Speed and Revival ahead of them going on public sale, as well as receiving a 10% discount on their first two tickets to both events. The Fellowship can also access exclusive, GRRC-only enclosures at both the Festival of Speed and Revival.

However, the benefits that GRRC members enjoy at these events (such as forward parking and access to the paddocks at the Revival) will still be preserved for members.

You and your guests can visit The Kennels twice per year; just give your membership number when making your booking, or when entering The Kennels.

You can see The Kennels' Calendar of Events here.
