Helicopter Charter / Fly to Events / Goodwood Revival

At FAST Helicopters we can offer you the opportunity to arrive in comfort and style, avoiding the queues from either of our bases, or a private site of your choice. The Goodwood Revival relives the glory days of Goodwood Motor Circuit which, along with Silverstone, was Britain’s leading racing venue during its active years between 1948 and 1966. During this time it hosted contemporary racing of all kinds.

Now, for three days each September, the circuit stages a historic race meeting for the kind of cars and motorcycles that would have competed at Goodwood during 1948-1966. The circuit echoes to the spine-tingling bark of golden-age Grand Prix cars from the Fifties and Sixties, thundering sports and GT cars, as well as historic saloon cars and little-seen Formula Juniors. Many of these important historic racing cars are driven by famous faces from motor sport past and present.

But the Goodwood Revival is far more than a series of races for historic cars: it is a magical step back in time and a chance for visitors to revel in the romance of motor racing as it used to be. The lovingly restored circuit is unchanged from its heyday, and great lengths are taken to ensure that everything on the site is exactly as it was. This means that no modern vehicles are allowed within the circuit perimeter throughout the weekend. Period vehicles provide all essential services and competitor support.

It is not just the circuit and the vehicles that have an authentic period look. All circuit staff and competitors dress in appropriate period clothing from the 1940s and 1950s, as do the majority of visitors, who consider it all part of the fun. Bands play authentic 1950s music, the food outlets sell fish and chips wrapped in 1950s newspaper, even the corn stooks on the circuit infield are made from a specially-grown crop with extra-long stalks for hand cutting rather than combine harvesting.

The Goodwood Revival is the only event that places motor racing into a carefully choreographed historical backdrop. The result is a truly unforgettable experience, and an atmosphere unlike any other sporting event. In combination with the highly-acclaimed Festival of Speed, the Revival ensures that Goodwood offers a medley of motor sport delights unrivalled throughout the world.
