Freddy was a racer through and through. He was an apprentice at Bentley Motors as a mechanic, and he was a member of the works Austin team that won the Brooklands 500 in 1930. He created his own team of MG Midgets in 1931 and won the Brooklands double twelve race. Freddie, also known as Frederick Charles Gordon-Lennox, 9th Duke of Richmond, 9th Duke of Lennox, 9th Duke of Aubigny (a French noble title), and 4th Duke of Gordon. Freddie was Lord March’s grandfather and was the man who was responsible for building the circuit on the Goodwood estate in 1948.
The Goodwood circuit has a total length of 2.4 miles or 3.8 kilometers. There are just 7 turns on this historic track; 5 to the right and 2 to the left. The circuit is located on a plateau on the Goodwood estate making the course exceedingly flat. Perhaps one of the most distinctive features is the chicane located just after the Woodcote right hander at the end of the lap. First introduced in 1952 the chicane certainly adds to the excitement of the race and places a premium a driver ability.
Between 1948 and 1966, Goodwood was a major circuit competing with the likes of Brands Hatch and Silverstone as the best circuit in the United Kingdom. Still the same as it was in the 1960’s it is fitting that the cars are all from the same era as well. That said, most of the drivers are from that vintage also. Drivers such as John Surtees, Derek Bell, David Coulthard, Damon Hill, Gerhard Berger, Martin Brundle, Bobby Rahal, Johnny Herbert, Wayne Gardner, Giacomo Agostini, Jean Alesi, and Barry Sheene, as well as celebrities such as Chris Rea and Rowan Atkinson (as Mr. Bean).

Many Revival visitors go to great lengths to dress in period-style and achieve that authentic look. The resulting step-back-in-time spectacle plays a key role in making the Revival such a unique event. While you are not required to dress up you will feel much more involved if you do. So make sure you dress up in your tweeds and trilbies, frills and frocks, to fully immerse yourself in this nostalgic and bustling atmosphere at the biggest and best motor racing party of the year.
LADIES - Knee-length skirts, flat heeled shoes and square shouldered jackets. Or a Girl in Uniform and be a WREN, land girl, police women or nurse for the day!
GENTS - A man in uniform is always a pleasing sight for the ladies, wear an Army or RAF Uniform in keeping with WWII RAF history.
LADIES - Bold and glamorous, think Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn! Wear a voluminous dress, cinched with a wide belt, slender high heels, wide brimmed hat and gloves, and of course seamed nylon stockings!
GENTS - Try the debonair look with a blazer, turn up flannels, cravat and Panama Hat, for fun why not accessorize with a rolled up umbrella, eye glass or cigarette holder!
LADIES - For that Jackie Kennedy look try a short boxy suit in pastel with oversized buttons or the Twiggy hippie look with frayed bell-bottom jeans and a headband!
GENTS - Neck ties, 5 inches wide in crazy colors, trouser straps, leather boots and collarless jackets, or a stripped double-breasted suit with brocade waistcoat and a shirt with a frilled color.
Whatever you choose you are sure to have a weekend that you will be telling your friends about for years to come!!
