From the 16th to the 18th of September the Goodwood Revival winds back the clock with cars from the golden age of motor sport going wheel to wheel on the Goodwood Motor Circuit. The Revival hosts many legendary drivers like Gerhard Berger, Jochen Mass and Derek Bell to F1's Red Bull Christian Horner and Adrian Newey. The racing is close with paint swapping and bumper to bumper action, and the sight of seeing the monster Ford Galaxie 500 battling the little Mini Cooper S brings a smile to any petrol heads face.

It really is an an eclectic mix of cars over the weekend on the classic Goodwood circuit, from a 1931 Bugatti Type 54 to the beautiful Ferrari 250 GTO, in 16 races including some classic motor bikes in the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy.

But the winding back of the clock does'nt stop with the cars on track, Routemaster buses and red phone boxes to a period Tesco supermarket and a Kenwood shop add to the attmosphere. The attending public are also encouraged to dress in period clothes and a dress code of jacket, shirt and tie for gentlemen and a dress or suit for ladys is needed to enter the paddock area, it all good fun. Back on track and the marshals and mechanics are also dress up in their white overalls and flat caps.
