Goodwood Motor Circuit kicked off its 2026 season in sublime style this past weekend (April 18/19) as the 83rd Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport delivered two days of retro thrills.
Marking the start of what promises to be another unmissable year of full-throttle action at the former home of the British Automobile Racing Club, iconic drivers and machinery descended on the world-famous West Sussex grounds for a frenetic feast of nostalgic track action.
Basking in the Spring sunshine, the Members’ Meeting is open to members and fellows of the Goodwood Road Racing Club and is staged to recapture the intimacy and camaraderie of race weekend’s from Goodwood’s heyday.
One of the undoubted highlights of the weekend proved to be the Super Touring Shoot-Out, which pitted a number of iconic tin tops from the 1990s and early 2000s against each other in a one lap showdown.
While the modern era of the British Touring Car Championship starred at Donington Park, former FIA World Touring Car Champion Rob Huff reigned supreme at Goodwood as he claimed the bragging rights in a Triple Eight Engineering Vauxhall Vectra.
