The Earl of March – patron
of the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival – has today announced
the 2008 dates for these important annual motor sport events.
The Festival of Speed will
take place over the weekend of 11.12.13 July. It will be the 16th
running of this popular international motor sport event and promises to be
packed with action and excitement as the world’s most exciting racing
machinery and famous drivers gather together in the grounds of Goodwood
House. The theme for this hillclimb event is currently under discussion and
will be announced later this year.
The Goodwood Revival will
celebrate its tenth anniversary in 2008, as well as the 60th
anniversary of the famous Goodwood Motor Circuit. This unique magical step
back in time will be held over the weekend of 19.20.21 September 2008. The
Revival recalls the halcyon days of motor racing as it used to be in
Goodwood’s heyday up to 1966, with all of the accompanying spectacle and
glamour of the era, with competitors and spectators alike dressed in period
fashions. For 2008 Lord March and his team will be pulling out all the stops
to create a truly memorable tenth anniversary spectacular.
Both of the 2008 Goodwood
motor sport events promise an exceptional selection of the best machinery
with a spectacular array of cars and motorcycles, plus fabulous star drivers
and riders to thrill the crowds throughout the three days of both of these
stunning events.
As in previous years,
admission to both of these Goodwood motor sport events will be strictly by
advance ticket only, with sales commencing on Thursday 1st
November 2007.
