2011 Revival Fangio Tribute

Revival Pays Tribute to Juan Manuel Fangio

The annual ‘feature tribute’ at this year’s Goodwood Revival (16-18 September) will be to arguably one of the greatest racing drivers that ever lived - Juan Manuel Fangio - on the centenary of his birth and 60^th anniversary of him winning the first of his five World Championships. 

Fangio raced twice at Goodwood, with his best result here being second in the challenging BRM V16 P15 on 26 September 1953.  This legendary BRM will be just one of over 25 of the most famous cars that Fangio drove, as Goodwood honours the life and achievements of this incredible man with a daily track parade.  Other significant cars forming part of this tribute will include the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR and W196s, his Alfa Romeo Tipo 158/9 ‘Alfetta’, Ferrari 860 Monza, Gordini Type 15s and 16, Maserati 250F, 300S and 450S, plus two of his earliest racing cars which have been shipped over specifically for the Revival from the Fundacion Museo Fangio in Argentina  – his famous 1939 Chevrolet Coupe TC and the 1947 Volpi Chevrolet ‘La Petisa.’
