Duke of Richmond

Octane person of the past 15 years

WHILE the Duke of Richmond founded his two highest-profile events over 15 years ago, every innovation Goodwood pioneers still causes seismic shifts in the motoring entertainment industry. The Festival of Speed and Revival Meeting sell out and attract 150,000-plus visitors. Renowned for its extravagant Gerry Judah sculptures, the festival has since 2010 incorporated the Moving Motor Show, plus there have been changes at the Motor Circuit where the Revival has transformed historic motorsport from 1998. In 2014, The Duke revived the Goodwood Members’ Meeting that had died out in 1966. Created for members of the Road Racing Club, it’s a more intimate event.
