TWEED, TROPHIES & THRILLS | GOODWOOD REVIVAL 2025 RECAP
Goodwood Revival 2025 has come and gone, but what a weekend it was. The Sussex circuit once again transformed into a time capsule of speed, style, and nostalgia — with racing drama, star names, and period fashion creating a spectacle like no other.
RACING THAT STOLE THE SHOW
The track action lived up to the hype, with tight battles and heroic drives across every grid:
- Freddie March Memorial Trophy – Jenson Button and Alex Buncombe claimed victory in their Jaguar C-Type, holding off fierce competition as dusk fell on Friday.
- Goodwood Trophy – Pre-war giants thundered around the circuit, with Mark Gillies steering his ERA A-Type to a commanding win in wet conditions.
- St. Mary’s Trophy – Saloon cars of the 1950s put on a crowd-pleasing show. James Dorlin surged to victory, with Jaguars and Austins trading paint along the way.
- Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy – The grid of Cobras, Jaguar E-Types, and Ferrari 250 GTs provided one of the most beautiful races of the weekend. Early leader Andrew Jordan kept fans on their feet with a stunning Cobra drive.
STYLE, HERITAGE & ATMOSPHERE
Off the track, Revival was just as vibrant. The paddocks brimmed with exhibitors and restorers, from Aston Martin and Jaguar specialists to the revival of the Westfield XI. Visitors embraced the dress code, turning the event into a living film set of 1940s–60s glamour.
A heartfelt tribute to Jim Clark, led by Sir Jackie Stewart, marked 60 years since Clark’s legendary 1965 season. It was a poignant reminder of the heroes who shaped motorsport’s golden age.
