Saturday’s wet conditions challenged drivers, creating a wet and greasy track, with sensational sideways racing as the classic cars skimmed through the standing water. On the Sunday, clear skies allowed the 150,000-strong crowd of young and old spectators, united by their love of the automobile, to soak up both the sunshine and the unique atmosphere of this romantic time capsule in the English countryside. The Revival is the only historic race meeting to be staged entirely in full vintage regalia; authenticity and attention to detail is paramount, with what you are wearing considered just as important as what you are watching! The classic beauty and style of motor racing throughout the ages, so accurately depicted at Goodwood Revival, underscores Rolex’s partnership with the event and furthermore is reflected in the brand’s watchmaking and iconic chronographs. Fittingly, Rolex Testimonee and three-time Formula One World Champion,  Sir Jackie Stewart, also attended this year’s Revival to remember both his contemporary Sir Jack Brabham, and F1’s 1966 ‘Return to Power’. He explained just what sets the Revival apart: “Goodwood Revival is very special. I have been attending for many years with Rolex – the brand always partners the best events, whatever it may be, and they always do it in such style. Goodwood, just like Rolex, has a unique and fantastic product - the best collection of cars in the world with some brilliant racing. This makes for the perfect and most natural partnership”.
