With less than a month to go, Goodwood is now able to confirm an impressive line-up of over 70 star drivers and riders attending the 2011 Revival (16-18 September).
Well-known faces from most motor sport disciplines will be in action at this year’s Goodwood Revival, including Formula One stars, rally winners, endurance racing champions, tin top tearaways and top bikers; often competing in the most unlikely of machines.

They will also have 2 Lotus Type 25’s and 2 Formula Junior Type 27’s. Make sure you head over and say hello to them at the event.
