Goodwood 2002 - scenes from a glorious
weekend of motor racing

Cricket Match on the Thursday afternoon is a tradition of the Goodwood Revival meeting. It is always played on the historic ground in front of Goodwood House where the earliest recorded game was played in 1702. For 2002, the weather was warm and sunny and Lord March's team knocked up 100 before tea. Here you can see The Duke of Richmond & Gordon's XI are batting just before play was halted by a spectacular air display over the field.

Start line for the St Mary's Trophy, an 18 lap two-driver race for production saloon cars of a type that raced between 1951 and 1959.

The Chicane during practice for the St Mary's Trophy seen from the raised bank, a popular viewing spot for spectators. Modern technology enables spectators to follow the action around the track on a giant screen.

Madgwick corner is a very good spot to view the action on the track from the raised banking around the outside of this exciting double apex corner. A stroll with friends around the track is particularly enjoyable stopping at Madgwick, Lavant and Woodcote corners where there are bars serving cask ale.

The Paddock early in the morning, a quiet time to stroll round and see some quite extraordinary machinery parked up in the covered bays, before the crowds flock in later in the day.


The St Trinians schoolgirls are a regular sight at the Goodwood Revival, providing a sense of fun along with other actors engaged by the organisers each wearing early 1950s or 60s outfits. But most visitors dress in sympathy with the "revival" style of the event - the lady in the photo above for example, had a beautiful two piece suit, with coat and gloves. The two Goodwood Revival regulars above (Mike Maude-Roxby and Bill Wallace) are in typical dress!
