The Goodwood Revival 2007 - 1
Introduction

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Goodwood Revival meeting, an event which from 1998, for one weekend per year, has brought racing back to the unspoilt, but long silent, Sussex circuit for the first time since it closed for racing in 1966.

Lord March’s vision of a meeting that would recreate the spirit of racing from Goodwood’s glory days was brilliantly executed from the start, and has been carefully honed with each passing year.

The setting, the cars and the star drivers from both the present and the past, who are sprinkled liberally into the mix, all combine to make up a unique experience, truly a world class effort.

And adding immeasurably to the atmosphere is the invitation, very widely accepted in 2007, for the public to join in the spirit of the meeting both by bringing their prized pre-1966 vehicles to the meeting, where they are parked in a dedicated (and huge!) car park, and by dressing for the occasion in period dress, 1940s through to 1960s. Sounds corny? Well maybe, but the net effect is truly timewarp stuff.

Over the next few days we’ll be bringing you a series of stories that we hope will bring a little of the atmosphere at the 10th anniversary Goodwood Revival to life.
