Top classic cars to see at Goodwood Revival 2025
Goodwood Revival returns from 12-14 September 2025, bringing with it one of the world’s greatest celebrations of historic motorsport.
While the drivers always grab plenty of attention, the real stars of the Revival are the cars, from Formula 1 legends of yesteryear to beloved road-going classics.
If you’re planning your visit, here are some of Goodwood Revival 2025’s biggest four-wheeled attractions you won’t want to miss.
Jim Clark’s legendary cars
The 2025 Revival’s main event is undoubtedly a tribute to legendary F1 driver, Jim Clark. 2025 signals the 60th anniversary of his second F1 title, and to mark the occasion, Goodwood is gathering many of the cars Clark drove during his remarkable career from his Lotus Formula 1 challengers to the very car in which he conquered the Indy 500.
For fans, this is a rare opportunity to see the machines that defined a golden era of motorsport and cemented Clark’s place as one of F1’s all-time greats.
Alfa Romeo: A century of motorsport icons
Another of 2025 Revival’s major celebrations is dedicated to Alfa Romeo, showcasing 100 years of the marque’s history in racing.
From the pre-war Alfa Romeo P2 – the first car to win the World Championship for Manufacturers in 1925 – to the all-conquering Tipo 33TT12 that dominated the World Sportscar Championship in the 1970s, this collection will bring together some of Alfa’s most successful cars in a wonderous display of Italian motorsport.
VW Campers: A cult classic on parade
Not all the stars at Goodwood Revival 2025 are thoroughbred out and out racers, though. Adding an additional layer of nostalgia to proceedings, the much-loved VW Camper will also take centre stage this year.
These memorable machines will be part of the Track Opening Parade, bringing a touch of 1960s charm to the circuit. Proof, if ever it were needed, that Revival celebrates motoring in all its forms.
St. Mary’s Trophy: Saloon car heroes
For sheer wheel-to-wheel action, few races rival the St. Mary’s Trophy. The race focuses on 1950s saloon cars – think Jaguar Mk1s and Alfa Romeo Giuliettas among others – all being pushed to the limit by a mix of professional drivers and passionate owners.
IndyCar champion Tony Kanaan is confirmed to be racing behind the wheel of a Ford Zodiac in this year’s St. Mary’s Trophy.
Richmond & Gordon Trophies: Grand Prix icons
The Richmond & Gordon Trophies offer one of the most evocative races of the weekend recreating an era of F1 innovation surrounding engine placement, the late-1950s when front-engine cars like the Maserati 250F and Ferrari 246 were pitted against rear-engine Cooper-Climax T53s and many others.
