The Lavant Infield will see the introduction of high street shopping, places to refuel for lunch and an opportunity to admire the selection of 60s GT cars racing in the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy.

This area will be themed as RAF Westhampnett and celebrate the history of the airfield prior to the introduction of the Motor Circuit with victory parade military vehicles also based here to explore.

There will be a Festival of Britain theme at Gate 2, recreating the scenes of jubilation seen in the summer of 1951. The festival aimed to raise the spirits of a country still in the grasp of austerity and rationing.

There will also be a new track viewing corner at Madgwick Corner, the ‘trickiest corner of the circuit’, according to organisers.

Tickets for Goodwood Revival are limited as there are fewer tickets available due to social distancing and those with 2020 tickets were given the option to roll over to the 2021 event.
