The 2009 F1 World Champion and current FIA World Endurance Championship driver is to race at Goodwood fro the first time since 2022, this time behind the wheel of his 1962 Jaguar E-Type.
The 45 year old will be going in the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) TT Celebration, a race for the fastest and most iconic grand touring cars from the RAC TT golden era of 1960-1964, when Goodwood Motor Circuit hosted the event.
Button has experience behind the wheel of a 1962 Jaguar E-Type, having made his historic racing debut in the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy at the 2021 Revival, however, the 1962 Jag he’ll be racing this year is his own personal car. Aside from his racing duties, Button will be present at this year’s Goodwood Revival throughout the weekend.
Jenson Button said: “I am delighted to be coming back to the Goodwood Revival in September, for the most enjoyable weekend of racing of the whole year. In fact, I love it so much, I have bought my own car to take part! I am very excited to be racing my ‘new’ Jaguar E-type in the TT. I can’t wait.”

Gordon Murray to celebrate 60 years of automotive design at the Goodwood Festival of Speed
Gordon Murray will celebrate 60 years in the game at this year’s Festival of Speed with a Central Feature dedicated to the legendary automotive designer.
The sculpture, designed by Gerry Judah, will take pride of place in front of Goodwood House, and while there will be plenty of opportunities to look back at some of Murray’s achievements across the last six decades, the weekend will also see the launch of a new GMA supercar.
As well as the Central Feature, other Murray designs will be present in the Supercar Paddock and Goodwood Cricket Pitch.
This won’t be Gordon Murray’s first stop at Goodwood this year, however, as GMA will make its way to the 82nd Members’ Meeting, where it will showcase the GMA T.33 and T.50s.
Professor Gordon Murray CBE, said: “For 60 years I have enjoyed the design and engineering challenge of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible – be that in racing or road cars. The supercars that Gordon Murray Automotive builds today are inspired by every car I’ve designed, raced, and owned. Lightweight design, innovative use of materials, the latest technologies, and even bending the laws of physics come into all we do. I am thrilled we will celebrate my 60th anniversary of design and the driver-centric cars we produce today at the Goodwood Festival of Speed”.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed runs from Thursday 10 - Sunday 13 July 2025.
