Goodwood

Originally a perimiter track arond the airbase, it was first used as a motor circuit in 1948. Uniquely, its original layout has been retained since then. It was used as a competition venue until 1966, hosting the British Grand Prix in the 50s and 60s. In 1998 it was re-opened as a venue for historic racing. Nowadays the Goodwood Revival weekend event is extremely popular.
