The 2026 Goodwood Revival featured a high-intensity racing event marked by chaotic qualifying and a volatile race. The event was characterized by frequent mechanical failures, aggressive overtaking, and numerous spins, particularly at the challenging Saint Mary's corner, highlighting the difficulty of controlling vintage machinery under extreme pressure.
But I assume there's going to be a yellow flag down
um
Well, they were on a quick lap and obviously at some point whether it was the lap that i'm just looking at where they did
Go purple. They've gone off track
but uh
That's gonna be i'm looking at the commentary box window. I don't think there is actually yellow flag
Oh, there is a yellow flag out there. Yes. There is a yellow flag out there
Okay, so that's gonna hinder of course people wanting to improve in this final sector
Yeah, that can make life a little bit difficult
Car with an amazing history. So there's a little bit about that's the dixon man amazon
Off at saint mary's we don't didn't see how it went off but as they return to the racetrack. Yeah, absolutely
Thankfully it's back on. Okay
um
And no damage done by the looks of things but always easy to run a bit off wide here
And then now he's just got to try and find a bit of clear space
And then get back up to speed once again. Let's have a look at this john. See what went wrong
So coming into saint mary's it's the second part. It's the left hand
Oh just the back end got away and then it was over correction and just really very little you could do at that point
So it just shows you how critical
Getting the exit of the first part of saint mary's is to getting you in the right part of the racetrack to make that left turn
Depends where they catch the jack might be able to capitalize on getting them down this straight nick swift down the inside
He's gonna push the jack onto the grass
Oh and it's ben colburn gonna be able to get a run as well as they catch traffic
Has nick swift tied this perfectly as well to get in front of the jag and now nip his way through
But the jaguar's gonna bite back manages to find a gap and through chris hard back again, but no
To touch the brakes a tad earlier. We're gonna get a ford galaxy in the middle
It's bumper to bumper stuff with contact thrown in nick sampson's cortina runs out wide and chris
Cut hard having to fall behind both minis get through nick swift and nick sampson
And the cortina now finding its way. Oh, let's catch a replay and yet swift did a great job
Of going down the inside slightly forcing hard onto the grass and then it's basically pick aside
You could see he would have of course hard kept it the throttle pinned to the floor pick aside
And as they went to the braking capabilities of the mini slightly better than the heavier jack
Oh, and there was there was contact there
Anna, samson kept it pinned well across the grass and ben colburn snuck down the inside into the final chicane
Everything's closing up. Maybe first second or third will be nose to tail
We've still got the remainder of this lap and one further lap traffic give it and sometimes it take it away
I'll tell you what that traffic has really affected joe. Kalasaka that lead
Has visibly come down
we'll see what the split is and with more traffic to come as they
Drive by on the grass joe. Kalasaka leads in the ferrari only 1.3 seconds ahead now for sure
Lucas alusa is back in this one, but he runs out wide
Lucas alusa, is he round? No, he holds on to it
Just when it was coming back his way for the pole sitter runs out wide and he looks like he's got a problem
skips the chicane
and third place
Falls away
Well, let's take a look at the replay his closing speed
He was going as hard as he could but he just simply couldn't get the braking done
And then that's that moment. You don't want to be in the grass. You'd rather be on the tarmac
It snapped one way it snapped another at that point. He knows it's gone the two cars
He just spent his time getting past the brabham the brm going through. He knows he gave it a shot
But he's a racer. That's what he's there to do
Managing to make his way up into second as we've got a car round and it's katsuki botas lotus 30 from
Seventh position falling down the order. How did it happen? Dipped a wheel?
Onto the grass and that was all was needed to send katsu round
And hopefully though is able to find the throttle again and recover onto the circuit
Yeah, so let's catch a replay
We're just going to be out of shop to your right hand side
Uh, yeah, so I assume he's had a snap mid corner on the exit for st
mary's part to
Try to keep it going in a straight line
Of keeping that out of the barrier and quite lucky that there was a bit of a gap between this battle because
That could have been contact. Let's see on board looking back
And yet
A wobble as he was applying the power on the exit and that sent him off
And we are getting confirmation and look at that just so lucky that the 59 didn't collect them. We're getting confirmation
Ben car 22. Yes
Car 16 is right up there, isn't it? Yeah on number three car palooza false start three second penalty for them
From lavent for the halusa and lotterer jack e-type the number 16. You can see he's coming in to join this battle
Oh down the inside going for the move. Is this gonna work?
I think it is you could sort of see the lock up. Oh, no
Oh, that's a great shame because that had been going so well, hasn't it?
Yeah, so kent's managed to stay ahead of the 59 cobra behind
As to how it went wrong because he went down the inside but then richard kent
Just not able to get it stopped then
The rear stepped out you could see and it was a puff of a small lock up from the front right as well
And off he went did a good job to gather it all back up together
And now that's a tough job of having to try and catch this battle up a little bit down on
Time in the middle sector is chilton
But this is where he gets sideways and really catches the traffic having to get
Out of the way ease off the throttle and actually last minute there. I think uh, that's towering the moves
Ford galaxy 500 just having to do a bit of avoiding action chilton is absolutely hot on it
But I think that would have cost him time and it certainly has he can't improve that lap around
But chilton is rapid out there just needs to find himself a bit of clear track and look at the smoke
He's having a lot of fun out there is max chilton, I think based on where he is out on track
Uh fred shepherd the man who currently sits on provisional pole in the 17 ford galaxy is not too far up the road
And then we'll have max chilton behind so coming through woodcut
This was just after I think the uh, he had a a near miss with the galaxy of tariq bhamud and the rear end sliding out
Watch michael gansey's on the headlights looking to find a way past
Front of him on the grass into woodcut that was risky
Ben a few more little raindrops on the camera lens coming into woodcut
Getting on the grass like that in a way. It just flicked a little bit sideways, but he got away with it
That was very well done by michael. Ganz
Horatio fitzsimon will be taking that over later on now ahead of andrew jordan
And this was tony jardine deciding he wanted to take a bit of the
Bit of the breakboard home with him. Yeah
Oh, at least he's definitely gonna do that. He was trying to cut the track across there rallying history
maybe didn't quite realize that he's actually the aim of this part of revival is to keep it on the the
On the more grippier part of service, but they're having a great little battle
And tom ingram in your front row there roman dumas on the far left frank stifler in the middle as we go foot to the floor
And get the first race underway here at the 2026 goodwood revival and immediately roman dumas loses out to the alpha
Julia frank stifler down the inside as we head through magic jenson button on the outside as frank stifler
Loses his positions in doing so and that melee galaxy to retake the lead
And we're going to catch a replay at the start look at the ford just
Gonna be too much wheel spin
Maybe too much of a drop of the clutch too eager there from around duman
And then look at the alpha's gonna get a kick of oversteer there make light contact only light contact with jensen button
But that was enough harry to send jensen off onto the grass and i'll tell you what he held it beautifully did jensen button
But then he was just a passenger sinking back into the pack
Oh
And we've got another spit smoke. Yeah out of the exhaust the spin was one thing but smoke from the exhaust
is not a good sign and I would
Oh there you can see it around the back and that looks as if that's an internal issue
with the motor and
Did he spin in his own oil or was that a spin because he rode the kerb on the entry into saint mary's?
But certainly you can see the smoke coming from the exhaust and in that oh, there's fluid look
You can see the fluid that's what it was that caused the spin. It's a huge
That's a major engine issue and I hate to think what it could be because I can see dollar bills, you know being torn up
by the
Well a huge number. I mean that's
Very sad when you see a beautiful car like that with fluid coming from the exhaust
Well looking a little sleet in the exhaust system looks like it's dragging underneath the car as it comes
In to magic and that will have to be removed if it doesn't fall off before the car completes
a lap
and that's a shame because
That shouldn't happen
No, that is a pity. That's the lotus elite of michael o'sullivan
Sharing it with will nuttall and I hope that they can get that sorted out
fairly quickly
Another one round that's stuart hall stuart hall's round from second in this race just ahead of alex brundle
They seem to be very close together coming into top with one that rotating
So again as he's trying to hook it up great helmet there black with the goggles painted on the top
but uh all on his own in second place and just turning into
St. Mary's and around and he'll have felt that starting to go before we could see it and they're great
They're a total evasion there from alex brundle. I suggest he's actually still in third place
It looks like he's overtaking and for the others at the back of the pack
But what is it off goes the 39 onto the grass? Was that a late move from the 15th?
Richard warmer finding the grass manages to recover
and that allows
Jack rules to escape up the road. We'll get another look at that. I'm sure
And on cue here we go then so it's rules on the outside warmer on the inside
Late on the brakes loses the rear has a big correction and into the grass he goes
Yeah, that was a lovely move from uh from rules checkbooks that stuff
and you can see
Yeah, just on the dirtier part of the track
Even though these tires of course, they don't produce marbles like we we see at other events, but it can still get quite dirty
Offline, however, he has even though he lost a chunk of time has started to close that gap
back up
Down. Oh, dear the maserati v8r
Independent suspension car is sitting at the side of the circuit and smoking. Let's have a look what went on
Did he jump was he pushed was it all on his own just simply what we call ample enthusiasm
Trying to hold on to it and around he went gets his start tries and finds the gear before it cuts out
And hopefully might be able to get going. No, he's uh still stuck there. He wants to push. Yeah. Well
Spectacular camera work as he was kicking up the dust there
Very disappointing obviously for richard bradley to pull off yesterday and today you don't we don't know what the problem is
He might have just hoped and prayed that it worked just about holds on to it bruce
Sorry, that was a big moment for ben fiddler who held that well that could have so easily gone so wrong
Well driver, let's take a look ben fiddler the art of a racing driver
Ted did it nicely all going well and then oh not going quite so well and it's the kick back there
It felt more dramatic in the moment
And four and a half seconds a gap between second and third
This is the main fight and has been for nearly 25 minutes
James cottingham's ferrari started third up to second frank stifler's ferrari started fourth up into third
But fancies a go at second, but he's been fancying it for a long time now
And it's just unable to make a move. It looks like he's lost ground in the last few moments. He's a drop back
I don't know whether he's just decided to consolidate or whether he's experiencing some issue
There's a big wow. That's the reason why he got a big oversteer
Just between the first and second apexes runs over the grass
And that's for that time loss and look at the car like it's up in the air a bucking bronco called a ferrari
And well the value of the car hopefully hasn't been devalued with that little trip over there
Let's have a look
Four three is going to give them a little bit of a nudge and around they go. Yeah
So that's quite that's unfortunate. I wonder if that might be a penalty possibly coming the way of the one-fourth
And going through flat out down the straight and then hard on the brakes into woodcook corner the tricky braking zone there
Absolutely. Yes, and so now they're all just picking up the speed once again
Much too wide onto the grass. Thankfully, there is plenty of space there to come back on again
But yeah, that was a little mistake there. No doubt
Yeah, and there's a whole flurry of cars they're going to want to make the pass down into the chicane so they'll go again
Again, i'm sure who is actually in that car trying to see if I can catch a glimpse
of
That's possibly james thorpe. Is it behind the the wheel there? Let's have a look at this again
So what do you reckon on the braking here just a little bit too late on the brakes?
You can see trying to turn it knowing that well if I put any more steering lock in with this amount of brake
I'm, i'm gonna have an accident should they say so probably did the right thing
Actually in the number seven almost almost followed it for the second lap in a row
But was able to just about keep it on track. Yeah, this time didn't go wide
Oh, and we have a car off and it's the maserati
It's the 300s
Currently in sick position looks like just stopped short of the tire barrier. It's found reverse. Yeah
Should be able to get that going again. Yeah, I think
I think that was maybe a spin we saw similar this morning to one of the 250 gt. Berlinettas
Maybe just got slightly wrong in the mid part of woodcut and then it ended up off track
Fortunately, there's no damage to the nose of the car
So let's have a little quick. Oh, we got it. You know what happened?
Caught the edge of the grass ran the left rear too far right to the left and that is damp
There it goes. You can see kicking up the dust in the background
And then lucky to stop short of the tire barrier there, but goodwood can bite very quickly
But it makes it back to the pit lane in one piece with just over a minute and a half to go frank
Stitt. They're actually just getting up into third place
Damaged. Yeah
As far as he damaged as he hit another car as he hit something
Maybe around the chicane while the chicane's still in one piece
So it wasn't that that looks like he's just simply run into the back of another competitor
We may have a replay I think uh, yes our crew let's have a look at this into the chicane. Oh
And it's the aston martin that we saw a little earlier
Holding up the 88 and rob huff really very wrong footed. He was just carrying so much more speed
Than the aston martin. So the aston martin's got a victory scar
On the right rear now, you can see that rock rob huff has to lock up the brakes coming to the chicane
um
Which gave look at the top of your screen there
We've got a spinner. Oh just tries to correct it. I think they've avoided the barrier there. Is that 69 on that?
Car on the number. Yes, that would be our uh, cooper climax
t49 monaco
Uh having a bit of a dance out of the final corner, uh, good car control the 144
they've uh, one of our other list of jaguar novelties was coming out from behind, but
Good car control managed to keep it going. Meanwhile, the uh,
times
Continuing to increase at the top. Oh, no
Oh frederick's. Yeah, frederick's the fastest. So now we've had the two fastest have problems, but this is a serious problem
He's obviously hit either the barrier. He's he's sensible. He's bringing the thumbs up to say i'm okay. I'm, all right
Let's have a look. Yeah, so it's uh
contacts with oh, so it's not so it looked like the 18 made contact possibly I can't quite work out who that is in front
And then unfortunately for frederick's was just avoiding the spinning car in front. Oh
Oh, no, and then he's an absolute passenger. You can see the number
Number 18, which is one of our climax 18 spinning around. Oh
I hope this next okay because that was a bit
Yeah, but actually the angle it hit at is better than sometimes here because sometimes if it goes in
Completely and he and he did put his thumbs up to say i'm feeling all right, which is good news. He's fine
Um
So he is definitely improving. Oh, and we've got a spin there for number seven again
Uh, so for some I think might be in it at this stage
Yeah, so luckily no one was collecting. He actually just set a personal best at one twenty six
zero
Oh, and that might have actually been some contact. Yeah, that was an entry
It was involving with another car, but it was a bit difficult to see
