Goodwood Revival

Goodwood Revival 1st to 3rd September 2006

The Goodwood Revival is definitely a first-class Great British Event. For three days in September, Goodwood steps back in time to the glory days of motor racing. Before the days of ground effect and spoilers to the exciting and glamourous world of 50’s and 60’s motor racing.

The Goodwood Revival is a historic race meeting for the kind of cars and motorcycles that would have competed at Goodwood during 1948-1966. The circuit echoes to the spine-tingling bark of golden-age Grand Prix cars from the Fifties and Sixties, thundering sports and GT cars, historic saloon cars and Formula Juniors.

In celebration of this great meeting, iChauffeur would be delighted to drive you in chauffeur driven style to the Goodwood Revival. The Bentley Continental Flying Spur is available for maxmium British style and it’s sporting heritage will fit perfectly in keeping with the Revival spirit. Do it in style with iChauffeur.
