Goodwood

The UK’s Greatest Sporting Estate.

Goodwood Motor Circuit opened its gates to the public in 1948 to host Britain’s first post-war motor race meeting at a permanent venue. Since that time, the Circuit has hosted some of the most inspiring names in racing history, from Sir Stirling Moss and Bruce McLaren to Sir Jackie Stewart. In addition to this, Goodwood is home to a 12,000 acre Estate, an aerodrome, racecourse, two championship golf courses, a 91 bedroom hotel and spa, and its very own organic farm.

Renowned for its obsession with perfection, this Goodwood value carries over into all aspects of the Estate including the Motor Circuit. Customers are looked after from beginning to end, whether it’s your welcome to the Motor Circuit ahead of your track day, the care and attention of your Goodwood host, or the knowledge of the Chief Instructors, you’ll be made to feel like a VIP from beginning to end.

Goodwood staff are proud to be part of such a unique sporting heritage and love sharing their passion, knowledge and stories with visitors. With various track or test day options available, Goodwood staff are happy to advise on what is best for the customer to meet their goals. Options are available for customers to take part in track days driving their own car, or to join in with Ultimate Driving experiences in which Goodwood have their own fleet of vehicles for you to drive.
