Goodwood to celebrate Stirling Moss

All three of Goodwood’s 2021 motorsport events will celebrate Stirling Moss, who passed away in April 2020.

It was at the Goodwood Motor Circuit in 1948, only the second race meeting he had ever attended, that Moss clinched his first win. It was a day after his 19th birthday.

In the 14 years that followed, Moss raced the Sussex circuit on a further 56 occasions, winning 21 times and scoring a further 13 podium finishes, often behind the wheel of a C-type during his 1951-1954 stint as a works Jaguar driver. Sadly, Goodwood was also the scene of his career-ending accident in 1962.

The Festival of Speed, on 8-11 July, will celebrate Moss as part of its theme ‘The Maestros –Motorsports Great All-rounders’. This year’s Revival, on 17-19 September, will see the biggest-ever gathering of Moss competition cars including XKC 005, the C-type he drove to win the 1952 Reims Grand Prix for Sports Cars.

Finally, the 78th Members’ Meeting, on 16-17 October, will host the third Moss Trophy, contested between GT cars originally raced until 1962.
