John Surtees

Motor sport great John Surtees – the only man ever to be crowned world champion on two and four wheels – will be honoured with a special tribute over the three days. ‘Big John’ will be reunited with many of the machines he rode or drove in period, from Triumph Tiger 70 motorcycle to the Surtees-Hart TS10 in which he won the Imola Gold Cup towards the end of his competition career.

BRM

The sixtieth anniversary of British Formula One constructor BRM will also be celebrated with more than 30 examples of the Bourne marque taking to the circuit for a cavalcade in addition to many of the drivers who raced – or in some instances, braved – the cars from 1948 to 1977.

Star Drivers and Riders

Star names racing this year include legends such as Sir Stirling Moss who will be out in his OSCA for the Madgwick Cup and Le Mans deity Tom Kristensen who will be taming a Ferrari 330LMB in the TT Celebration. Red Bull team principal and former F3000 man Christian Horner will also be driving in this one-hour race, up against the F1 squad’s designer Adrian Newey. Australian ace Wayne Gardner will also be a shoe-in for victory in the ever-popular Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy motorcycle race, the first part of which gets underway tomorrow.

Aviation

Aviation is a major constituent of the Revival and this year the seventieth anniversary of the Battle of Britain is naturally a key theme, with surviving veterans of the conflict in attendance. Air displays, along with The Freddie March Spirit of Aviation concours, add an extra dimension to the event and are not to be missed.

Warmest and happy regards from Goodwood
