It all started in 1998 when the Earl of March pondered how great it would be to relive the good old days of the 1940s and 50s. He like the idea so much that he created an event. The Goodwood Revival is an event celebrated every September to relive the glorious days of when car racing at the Goodword Motor Circuit was at its peak. The particular time in history marked by the Revival ranges from 1948 to 1966 and the circuit used has hosted many popular races including the Tourist Trophy, Goodwood Nine Hours race and the Formula One. Come September, you will see ladies wearing vintage dresses and men in vintage shirts coming for this event.
In order to completely relive something and bring it to life, it’s important to dress the part in the attire of that period.
