The Goodwood Revival battled the elements this past weekend (September 6/7/8) to serve up a retro-themed extravaganza of close-quarter racing for the tens of thousands of spectators that had flocked trackside.

Bringing together iconic competitors and glorious machines, the Revival – which is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the historic racing calendar – closed out another entertaining year of motoring thrills at the West Sussex venue in style.

Like it does for both the Members’ Meeting and the Festival of Speed, the British Automobile Racing Club played its part in the three-day spectacle with many of its hugely admired officials and volunteers attending the event to fulfil a number of operational and marshalling roles.

With famous faces and spectacular vehicles in attendance, it will come as no surprise that the action on-track had everyone perched firmly on the edge of their seats, especially in the St. Mary’s Trophy presented by Motul for 1960s saloons.

Entertainment was served up across two races and for the second year in succession Romain Dumas was a winner as he this time teamed up with Bill Shephard to dominate proceedings in the monstrous Ford Galaxie 500.

Elsewhere the Royal Automobile Club Tourist Trophy Celebration, which centres around closed-cockpit GT and Prototypes between 1960-1964, saw the current top two in the British Touring Car Championship enjoy a ding-dong battle for overall honours.

Former champion Tom Ingram and Mike Whitaker guided their TVR Griffith 400 to the chequered flag first, beating the team of Jake Hill and Oliver Bryant in their AC Cobra by a little under half a second.

While Hill missed out on the spoils of the RAC TT, he did reign supreme in the Freddie March Memorial Trophy whilst Ian Baxter was victorious in the Goodwood Trophy for Grand Prix and Voiturette cars from the 30s, 40s and 50s.

The Glover Trophy, which is for 1.5-litre Grand Prix cars between 1961 and 1965, provided plenty of thrills as Andy Middlehurst and Joe Colasacco went head-to-head – with Middlehurst winning by just 0.038s in his Lotus-Climax.

World Championship Sportscars from between 1955 to 1960 made up the Sussex Trophy and it was the team of Andrew Smith and Oliver Bryant that dominated proceedings; winning by almost a full minute.

Other race winners included Marc Gordon triumphing in the Fordwater Trophy, Miles Griffiths in the Madgwick Cup and the already aforementioned Bryant, who scooped the spoils in the Whitsun Trophy for sports-racing prototypes from the 1960s.

The legendary pairing of Jimmie Johnson and Dario Franchitti proved to be the perfect combination when it came to the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy as they guided their glorious Aston Martin DB4GT to the winners circle.

That was something that both Tom Waterfield and William Nuthall did in the Earl of March Trophy and Richmond & Gordon Trophies respectively too.

As always, it wasn’t just four-wheel machines that had those in attendance captivated as the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy showcased some jaw-dropping 1950s motorcycles. Michael Russell and Michael Rutter were the toast of the field, winning twice on their Norton Velocette MSS.

Concluding what was a momentous weekend was the Settringham Cup, which saw a total of 68 youngsters line up in Austin J40s for two feel-good dashes to the flag. On combined results, Josh Johnson pipped last year’s winner Luca Franchitti to claim outright honours.
