Goodwood

Goodwood is a very big name in horse racing, but it's also a name that carries considerable weight in motor racing too. The racing track is 2.4 miles long but Goodwood's heritage within British motor racing is considerably longer; it was the first permanent circuit to re-open after the Second World War and is held with great affection within the sport.

Goodwood racing circuit has not held a large race meeting since 1966 because the track owners would not upgrade the track to fall in line with advancing motoring technology. The track is on the estate of a country house and the track itself forms a ring around Chichester/Goodwood Airport. Goodwood runs small racing events throughout the year.

Today many people are attracted to Goodwood for its driving experiences and other events. The Goodwood Festival of Speed has become a showcase for British vintage driving and motorsport, and has become a huge 4 day event.
