Ken Miles Cup – NEW
The previously-announced Ken Miles Cup will celebrate 60 years of the Ford Mustang with a grid made up exclusively of first generation Ford Mustangs to honour British driver, engineer and mechanic Ken Miles who claimed the first major race victory for the model. The 45-minute, two-driver race will see Grand Prix and 24 Hours of Le Mans winners as well as Touring Car Champions go head to head in this headline competition.
Graham Hill Trophy – RETURNING
The celebrated driver at the 2022 Goodwood Revival, Graham Hill gives his moniker to the fifth running of a race that made its first appearance at the 74th Members’ Meeting in 2016. The Trophy is for closed- cockpit GT cars of a type that raced up to 1966, so expect to see some spectacular examples of Jaguar E-Types, AC Cobras and Lotus Elan 26Rs in action on the historic Goodwood Motor Circuit.
Surtees Trophy – RETURNING
Goodwood-stalwart John Surtees would have celebrated his 90th birthday in 2024 and the Surtees Trophy makes a welcome return to the Members’ Meeting race roster. For sports-racing prototypes of a type that raced between 1960 and 1966, the entry list for the Surtees Trophy will include Lola T70 Spyders, McLaren M1As and Ford GT40s.

Jaguar D-Types, Aston Martin DB3Ss and Maserati 300Ss will take to the track for the final race of the weekend: the Peter Collins Trophy, for sports racing cars that were in use between 1948 and 1955.
