Which Formula E drivers are racing at the Goodwood Revival?
The brand new Formula E champion, Stoffel Vandoorne is racing another Cortina in the St. Mary’s Trophy and a Jaguar E-type in the RAC TT. Double Formula E champ Jean-Éric Vergne returns to the Revival, racing a Mini Cooper S in the St. Mary’s and a semi-lightweight E-type in the TT.
Are any Le Mans winners racing at Revival?
Plenty. Three-time winner André Lotterer, now a fixture at any Goodwood event, will race again. He’ll be seen in another Mini Cooper in the St. Mary’s Trophy and a semi-lightweight E-type in the TT. Former team-mate at Porsche in both Formula E and the World Endurance Championship, and 2016 Le Mans winner, Neel Jani will race a Cortina as well as a stunning Porsche 904 Carrera GTS in St. Mary’s and TT respectively. Another former Porsche Le Mans winner, Brendon Hartley, who has since won the race twice more with Toyota and raced in Formula 1 with Toro Rosso, will also be in a Mini in our ’60s touring car battle.
Two more of Lotterer’s former team-mates racing are Romain Dumas – until this year the holder of the outright hill record at the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard – in a Ford Galaxie and a Cobra, and Marcel Fassler, who jumps into an Alfa Romeo Giulia and a Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray. To finish the famous Audi winning trio of the early 2010s Benoît Tréluyer drives an Allard 2JX in the Freddie March Memorial Trophy and a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray in the RAC TT.
Fifteen Le Mans victories are shared between Tom Kristensen, the most successful racer in the history of La Sarthe, and Goodwood House Captain Emanuele Pirro. Kristensen will race an Alfa Romeo Giulia and a Lister Coupe over the weekend while Pirro is racing a Ferrari 225S Vignale Berlinetta in the Freddie March Memorial Trophy with the extraordinary David Franklin, as well as a 250 SWB in the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy, a 250 LM in the TT and in the Ferrari parade. Multiple GT champion Darren Turner will race a BMW 1800 TISA in the St. Mary’s, and a Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray in the TT while one-time overall winner Jochen Mass will race an E-type in the TT and an Aston Martin DB4 GT in the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy.
