This will not be the first time the event promotes sustainable fuels.
Motorsport fans in the United Kingdom, rev your engines — sustainably, of course! Goodwood has announced that the upcoming 82nd Members’ Meeting, scheduled for 2025, will feature only vehicles powered by sustainable fuels.
This high-octane weekend, brought to us by Audrain Motorsport, is set to go big on both adrenaline and eco-responsibility. Following in the carbon-free track event of this year’s Goodwood Revival – the first historic racing event in the world to go green on fuel – the 82nd Members’ Meeting will require all competitors to use at least 70 per cent advanced sustainable components in their fuel mix. The need for speed is now being paired with the need for green fuels
Goodwood going green:
Kicking off with a weekend must-watch, the Hailwood Trophy, the only bike race at the event, will bring back a glittering selection of classic 250cc and 350cc motorcycles alongside roaring Formula 750s, with iconic Yamaha, Honda, and Ducati models. Two races across the weekend are planned.
On four wheels, things get even more grand with the S.F. Edge Trophy. These early 20th-century giants, all pre-1923, offer a rare sight for fans as they tear around the track in a five-lap dash.
With twelve races in total, 2025’s Members’ Meeting lineup reads like a Greatest Hits album of historic racing. The Gordon Spice Trophy will see Ford Capri Mk3s and Chevrolet Camaro Z28s hit the track in a new two-part format — a retro battle royale that’s sure to turn heads. Racing just after sunset, the glow of headlights on old-school saloon cars will be a spectacular sight.

For lovers of pure British engineering, the Earl Howe Trophy will serve up Bentleys, Aston Martins, and Frazer Nashes in a revived contest of vintage sportscars.
New to the lineup this year is the Win Percy Trophy, featuring under-2.8-litre touring cars from the 1970s and early ‘80s. Think of it as a pint-sized showdown, where smaller but mighty Group 1 touring cars go wheel-to-wheel for a solid 45 minutes of action-packed, two-driver racing.
Rounding out the racing roster, fans can look forward to the Whitmore Cup with its lineup of pre-1966 touring cars, and the Salvadori Cup, which promises a 20-minute sprint with mid-century Le Mans racers like the Lola Mk1 and the iconic Lotus 15. It’s history in motion, but now with a greener future in mind.
