Goodwood Announces 81st Members’ Meeting Dates

Goodwood has announced the dates and ticket details for its 81st Members’ Meeting scheduled to take place on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 April 2024. Founded by the Duke of Richmond with the aim of recreating the atmosphere and camaraderie of the original BARC Members’ Meeting held at Goodwood throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the 81st Members’ Meeting will mark 10 years since Goodwood relaunched the modern Members’ Meeting in 2014. 

With a full weekend of racing scheduled, the Goodwood Road Racing Club - which marked its 25th anniversary in 2023 – will be welcomed to the event. The weekend will include daring demonstrations, off-track festivities and fireworks in what is a more exclusive event tailored to loyal members, compared to the much larger Festival of Speed.

Highlights from the 80th Members’ Meeting in 2023 included the unveiling of the Gordon Murray T.33 Spider, the return of the BMW-Brabham BT52 and thrilling demonstrations from GT1 Le Mans cars and racing Porsche 911s to celebrate 75 years of Porsche. A special Driven Chat podcast from the event can be listened to here, in which John Marcar and Miles Lacey interviewed many famous faces from the motoring industry.

Further details of next year’s event will be revealed later in the year. Tickets go on sale for the 81st Members’ meeting at goodwood.com on the following dates:
Monday 21 August 2023 – Goodwood Road Racing Club Members
Thursday 31 August 2023 – Goodwood Road Racing Club Fellows
