Goodwood Revival will return to West Sussex from September 18–20, 2026, with organizers confirming an extensive lineup of drivers and riders spanning Formula 1, endurance racing, IndyCar, touring cars, NASCAR and motorcycle racing.
Held annually at the historic Goodwood Motor Circuit on the grounds of the Goodwood House estate, the Revival has become one of the automotive world’s defining heritage events. Unlike many modern concours or racing weekends, the Revival recreates the atmosphere of post-war British motorsport culture, with period dress encouraged throughout the venue and nearly every race featuring historically significant machinery from the 1940s through the 1960s.
This year’s announced guest list includes Formula 1 World Champions Jenson Button and Jacques Villeneuve, alongside former Grand Prix drivers including Jean Alesi, Karun Chandhok and John Watson.
Endurance racing remains central to the event’s appeal, and the 2026 Revival will again feature a significant contingent of Le Mans winners and sports car veterans. Among them are Tom Kristensen, André Lotterer, Emanuele Pirro, Marcel Fässler and Romain Dumas.
Touring car and saloon racing will also be strongly represented, with confirmed appearances from Gordon Shedden, Matt Neal, Tom Ingram and Colin Turkington.
From the world of American motorsport, IndyCar champions Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon are set to compete, while seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson brings stock-car racing representation to the weekend.
The motorcycle paddock will feature Isle of Man TT legends including John McGuinness and Ian Hutchinson, alongside former World Superbike champions James Toseland and Tom Sykes.
Goodwood has also confirmed that part of this year’s programming will continue celebrations honoring the life and career of late motorcycle champion Barry Sheene, with his son Freddie Sheene expected to participate during the weekend.
Beyond the racing itself, Revival has increasingly become a destination event that blends motorsport, fashion, hospitality and travel. The surrounding Sussex countryside, proximity to London and curated atmosphere around the estate continue drawing an international audience well beyond traditional historic racing fans.
