PEOPLE ARE
THE EVENT!

Goodwood Revival

A

ccording to Lord
March, founder and
host of the Goodwood Revival: “The
people are the event.”
This is not to be interpreted too literally – the venue and
the cars are key components. They
are the catalysts, the clear enablers;
without them there would be no
racing. Yet the human component is
significant. It is more than a veneer,
it is an integral part of the event. The
decision to turn an airfield perimeter
road into a racetrack was born of a
passion for motorsport. The cars that
raced on the circuit in the 1940s, 50s
and 60s came from the designer’s
pen, rather than computer models.
The founding of the Revival in 1998
stemmed from a deep-seated desire
to celebrate a golden period in motorsport.
Lukas Huni of Switzerland has
been coming to the Revival for many
years. Just ahead of competing in an
enthralling RAC TT Celebration in a
Ferrari 330 GTO, he eloquently gave
his opinion on why the event works:
“Not only is it a good track to race
on and perfect for [classic] cars, it is a
historic circuit with real tradition and
heritage. The atmosphere, the way
everyone is involved and is looked
after by Lord March and his team, is
also very special.” Fellow competitor
