A eight day fully escorted self-drive tour by to the world’s premier classic motoring event.
You will stay in two four-star hotels set in exquisite settings with visits to RHS Wisley Gardens, Brooklands Museum and Williams F1 factory. You will be with travel companions of like-minded people with an interest in classic motoring and relaxed touring. You can depart and arrive from your hotel each day in your own car and in your own time as every day’s itinerary is plotted on our GPS units that will lead you through the day’s attractions and finally to your hotel each evening.
Although this tour is a simpler and less time intensive version of our Gold tour the cost is dominated by the full three days at Goodwood which is exactly the same as offered on the Gold Tour with Roving Grandstand seats on all 3 days to allow you to experience Goodwood Revival to the full. We see little benefit on reducing any aspects of the Revival when this is the main objective of the tour.
