Celebrity saloon racing at the Revival

One of the post popular spectacles at the annual Goodwood Revival, which takes place on 13-15 September, will be the celebrity two-driver St Mary’s Trophy race for saloon cars. It will feature two races for 1960-'65 saloons and will feature classics such as the Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mini Cooper S and Lotus Cortina.

A whole host of famous faces are set to race door handle-to-door handle in these 1960s tin tops, including Touring Car legend Steve Soper, who will be returning to do battle at the Revival this year for the first time in 12 years. Ex-F1 racer turned TV pundit Mark Blundell will be making his Revival debut in a Ford-Lotus Cortina, and other headline names already confirmed for the race include reigning World Touring Car Champion Rob Huff, Le Mans legends Tom Kristensen and Derek Bell, plus Kenny Brack, James Martin, Jackie Oliver, Anthony Reid, Stuart Graham and ex-BMC Mini Works rallying hero Rauno Aaltonen.

Revival tickets are selling at a record pace, with the event expected to be totally sold out some time ahead of the gates opening at 7.30am on Friday 13 September. Tickets and further information for the 2013 Goodwood Revival, plus Festival of Speed and Moving Motor Show, can be ordered by on the Goodwood website, or via the Ticket Hotline +44 (0)1243 755055.
