Following the recent announcement of provisional dates for next year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, Moving Motor Show and Revival, the Earl of March is now able to confirm these 2013 dates.
The 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed will take place from Friday 5 July to Sunday 7 July. Next year’s Festival is the 20th anniversary of this hugely popular event, so it promises to be even more packed with action and excitement as the planet’s most glamorous racing machinery and famous drivers gather in the beautiful surroundings of Goodwood Park. The 2013 theme for this world renowned motor sport event will be announced very shortly.
The day before the 2013 Festival of Speed gets underway, Goodwood’s annual Moving Motor Show will be held on Thursday 4 July giving new car buyers and motoring enthusiasts the opportunity to see the very latest models up close, and in many cases drive them on a dedicated vehicle evaluation route within the grounds of the Goodwood Estate, including the revered Festival hillclimb. The Goodwood Aviation Exhibition will also form a more integrated part of the 2013 Festival of Speed.
The unique Goodwood Revival is confirmed for the weekend of 13-15 September 2013. The sell-out Revival is truly a magical step back in time, celebrating the halcyon days of motor racing as it used to be, with all of the accompanying spectacle and glamour of the era. Competitors and spectators alike dress in period fashions, with the finest sights and entertainment of the pre-1966 era for all to enjoy.
All of the 2013 Goodwood motor sport events promise a spectacular array of cars and motorcycles, plus star drivers and riders, and plenty of other fabulous attractions to thrill spectators of all ages. Watch out for the very latest news and updates on these sell-out sporting and social events in the coming weeks and months.
As in previous years, admission to Goodwood motor sport events will be strictly by advance ticket only, with 2013 ticket sales commencing at 9am on Thursday 1 November 2012. Goodwood has held many ticket prices for next year at 2012 levels, with many admission tickets increasing by just £2, and some grandstand and camping prices remaining unchanged.
The Goodwood ‘Young Persons’ ticket continues to prove exceptionally popular, and this half-price entry will be continued for next year, covering a broad 13-21 age range. Any young person aged between 13 and 21 can purchase Festival of Speed and/or Revival tickets for half the full adult price. Children of 12 years or under remain free of charge, as does all car parking.
Tickets, grandstand seats, camping and other products for the 2013 Festival of Speed, Moving Motor Show and Goodwood Revival can be ordered from 9am Thursday 1 November on the Goodwood website (www.goodwood.com/motorsport/), or via the Ticket Hotline as follows:

Goodwood revival set to be the most expensive car display ever.
At next week’s Goodwood Revival (14-16 September) many of the
most valuable cars in the world will gather to create the most
expensive vehicle display anywhere on the planet!
With a mouth-watering array of rarely-seen automobiles, the total value of the cars being gathered together at Goodwood is almost beyond comprehension. Just consider the following...
In the pantheon of desirable cars, one stands above all others. The Ferrari 250 GTO has everything – stunning looks, fantastic performance, and impeccable heritage. Launched in 1962, the GTO reaches its half century this year, and to celebrate the Revival will feature a display and daily track parade of 15 GTOs, which is sure to be one of the most jaw-dropping (and valuable) sights in Revival history. With an average value estimated at £20 million each, the value of the 15 Ferrari GTOs displayed at the Revival totals a cool £300 million.
In addition to the 250 GTOs, this year’s Revival will offer visitors a truly unique opportunity to see a large gathering of mythical pre-war Silver Arrows being demonstrated on track together at speed for the first time in more than 70 years. The sensational Auto Unions and Mercedes-Benz will appear alongside examples of the ERAs, Maseratis, Rileys and MGs they trounced on their first appearance on British soil, 75 years ago at the 1937 Donington Grand Prix.
Goodwood estimates that the Revival will see the largest ever gathering of Silver Arrows racers brought together in the same place at the same time, with at least ten examples. Although most are priceless, and virtually impossible to estimate their true worth, a combined value of the collection in the unlikely event they would ever be offered for sales is comfortably in excess of £100 million.
The one-hour, two-driver Royal Automobile Club TT Celebration race for closed-cockpit GT cars remains the jewel in the Revival’s crown. Nowhere else in the world can you see such a spectacular grid of super-rare GT cars racing in anger, driven by great aces past and present. The grid will once again feature a breathtaking £100+ million array of internationally-renowned historic cars, including Ferrari 250 GTO and GT SWB; Aston Martin DB4GT, Zagato and Project cars; plus Jaguar E-types and E-Type Lightweights.
This year’s Saturday feature race will be very special indeed, featuring a grid exclusively made up of AC Cobras and variants in the Shelby Cup, in celebration of the model’s 50th anniversary. It will be a 45-minute two-driver race, with driver changes in the pits between 15 and 30 minutes. With a mixture of standard cars and special-bodied coupés, it should make for an intriguing spectacle and a fitting tribute to this iconic Anglo-American sports car. Racing Cobras with known history can change hands for up to £2 million each at present, so a mild average value estimate of £500,000 per car still adds up to a £20 million grid of snarling V8s.
The total value of the other cars and motorcycles in the remaining Revival races add up to another £80 million, and that’s not including the stunning array of vehicles offered for sales in the Bonhams auctioned at the event on Saturday 15 September, nor any of the 2,000 tax exempt classic cars that park-up in the Revival Car Show each day!
So, the combined value of the vehicles appearing at this year’s annual Goodwood Revival is conservatively estimated at over £600 million. That’s an awful lot of lottery wins needed to acquire that lot. Revival-goers are certainly in for a very special treat next week!
