The Goodwood Motor Circuit opened on 18 September 1948 on the estate of Goodwood House near Chichester in West Sussex — the Duke of Richmond's answer to a nation hungry for wheels after the war. Stirling Moss, Juan Manuel Fangio, and Mike Hawthorn all wrote early chapters here on a fast 2.367-mile layout that wraps entirely around the Chichester/Goodwood aerodrome. For eighteen seasons the circuit hosted sportscar and Formula machinery until contemporary racing paused in 1966; the track slept, then woke again when the Goodwood Revival began dressing the paddock in 1940s–60s kit from 1998. The Festival of Speed, launched in 1993, runs a separate hillclimb up the estate driveway — this poster maps the permanent circuit itself: Madgwick, Fordwater, Lavant, and Woodcote rendered as clean geometry inside a red medallion, with contour ghosts hinting at the Sussex rise that still defines every Revival overtake.
