Goodwood will celebrate the achievements of several motorsport legends at its 73rd Members’ Meeting by naming the individual races at the event in their honour. A 12-race programme has been confirmed for the weekend of Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd March in front of an exclusive audience comprising members of the Goodwood Road Racing Club and a limited number of like-minded enthusiasts.
A race exclusively for pre-1967 Porsche 911s will be held for the John Aldington Trophy, in honour of the man widely credited with introducing Porsche into the UK. Meanwhile, the Derek Bell Cup – a race for 1.0-litre Formula 3 cars – will honour the five-times Le Mans 24-Hours winner, who raced with great success in F3 at Goodwood before becoming such a well-known figure in endurance events. The achievements of double World Champion Graham Hill will be marked with an hour-long, two-driver race for GT cars from 1960 to 1966 on the Saturday evening.
