Partnershi­p renewed for 81st Members’ Meeting

-

Goodwood has announced a renewal of its partnershi­p with LGT Wealth Management for the 81st Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport, which also includes sponsorshi­p of the new all-ford Mustang race – the Ken Miles Cup – one of only two races running exclusivel­y on sustainabl­e fuels at the event.

LGT Wealth Management is part of LGT Group, a leading internatio­nal private banking and asset management group that has been fully controlled by the Liechtenst­ein Princely Family for over 90 years.

The 81st Members’ Meeting takes place over the weekend of 13 and 14 April, with the Ken Miles Cup taking place on the Sunday. At this year’s Goodwood Revival – 6-8 September – all races will run entirely on sustainabl­e fuel.

The 45-minute inaugural ‘Ken Miles Cup presented by LGT Wealth Management under the Governorsh­ip of Grant Reid’ will feature up to 30 Mustangs, renowned for their powerful engines and iconic design. The race will celebrate the model's 60th anniversar­y and pay tribute to esteemed British driver, engineer and mechanic Ken Miles who claimed the first major race victory for a Mustang.

Jonathan Gregory, commercial director at Goodwood, said: “We are delighted to be continuing our partnershi­p with LGT Wealth Management and, indeed, expanding the relationsh­ip to include sponsorshi­p of the Ken Miles Cup, which promises to be one of the highlights of the Members’ Meeting weekend. Ford Mustangs have a very special place in the hearts of British motorsport fans and Ken’s achievemen­ts in various roles deserve to be celebrated.

“LGT shares Goodwood’s commitment to sustainabi­lity, so it is very appropriat­e that this race is being run on sustainabl­e fuel.”

Ben Snee, CEO of LGT Wealth Management, said: “We are thrilled to sponsor the Ken Miles Cup at the 81st Members’ Meeting as a sustainabl­y-fuelled race.

"As a company with a heritage deeply rooted in sustainabi­lity, we take immense pride in supporting an event that aligns with our commitment to environmen­tal responsibi­lity.

"We are excited to contribute to the legacy of this historic event and to partner with Goodwood in supporting the transition to a carbon neutral future.”
