About Goodwood Motor Circuit
Goodwood Circuit is a world-famous historic race track located on the Goodwood Estate near Chichester in West Sussex, England. Originally opened in 1948, the circuit became one of the UK’s most prominent racing venues before closing to competitive racing in 1966. After extensive restoration, it officially reopened in 2014 for modern track days and historic motorsport use. The 2.367-mile circuit remains largely unchanged from its original layout, featuring fast, flowing corners bordered by grass run-off and period-style safety features. Corners such as Madgwick, St. Mary’s, Fordwater, Lavant and Woodcote are legendary in British motorsport history. Goodwood is globally renowned for hosting the Goodwood Revival, one of the most prestigious historic motorsport events in the world, along with the Goodwood Members’ Meeting and various classic car and motorcycle track days. While modern racing is limited, the venue offers an authentic vintage motorsport experience unlike any other circuit. Owned by the Duke of Richmond, Goodwood Circuit forms part of the wider Goodwood estate that also includes the famous Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb venue nearby.
