Celebrating its 28th year, the Goodwood Revival (18-20 September) will mark the centenary of Maserati’s first major triumph at the Targa Florio, with an exceptional collection of cars.
The first Revival took place 50 years after the 9th Duke of Richmond and Gordon opened the motor racing track in 1948, driving around the circuit in a Bristol 400, then Britain’s state-of-the-art sporting saloon.
The Revival is one of the world’s most popular motor race meetings and the only United Kingdom event which recreates the 1950s and 1960s era—to the extent that all guests wear period costumes to recreate the bygone era of motorsport.
No marque in history has embraced the highs and lows of motorsport more enigmatically than Maserati. From beautiful cars and legendary drivers to glorious victories – and occasional setbacks – Maserati has always chased success with unmistakable, charismatic Italian flair.
Maserati’s ascent began in 1926, when Alfieri Maserati drove the pioneering Tipo 26 to a class win at the Targa Florio. It was the first of many triumphs, laying the foundation for decades of achievements across multiple motorsport disciplines.
At this year’s Revival, that legacy will be celebrated in true Italian style. From the cars on track to chic mid-century fashion, the event will embrace La Dolce Vita. Paddocks will be transformed to evoke the dusty, sun-soaked roads of post-war Sicily and the golden era of the Targa Florio, immersing visitors in the romance and spirit of Italy.
Across the weekend, more than 50 pre-’66 Maseratis will take to the track, each reflecting a defining moment in the marque’s storied racing history. Visitors can expect the largest gathering of Maserati 250Fs, alongside notable models including the likes of the 150S, 200Si, 300S, 350S, 450S, 4CL, 4CM, 8C, 8CM, A6GCS, Tipo 151, Tipo 63, V4 and V8RI, amongst many others.
The Maserati celebration joins the previously announced Vespa track opening parade, the reunion of the 1-2-3 finishers from the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans and tribute to racing legend Barry Sheene.
