Legendary drivers and riders set to race at 2025 Goodwood Revival
This year's Goodwood Revival is set to take place from September 12-14 and will include 13 races and a broad selection of drivers and riders from different areas of motorsport.
In the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy, several well-known names from the World Superbike Championship and the Isle of Man TT will take part.
Carlos Checa, a former WorldSBK champion, returns after debuting at last year's Revival. He'll be joined by Eugene Laverty and Troy Bayliss, alongside a group of TT regulars who, between them, have earned 70 podium finishes. This group includes Conor Cummins, James Hillier, John McGuinness, Josh Brookes, Lee Johnston and Steve Plater.
Jenny Tinmouth, who holds the female lap record at the Isle of Man TT and won the 2010 Supersport Cup, is also confirmed. She'll ride alongside Maria Costello, a former TT record holder and one of the early female pioneers in the sport.
Touring car racing is also well represented. British Touring Car Championship drivers Gordon Shedden, Jake Hill, Matt Neal and Tom Ingram — who collectively have nearly 200 BTCC wins — will be on the grid. They'll line up with former World Touring Car champions Andy Priaulx and Rob Huff.
Ten drivers with Le Mans experience are part of this year's line-up, too. Tom Kristensen — known for his nine overall wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans — will be back at Goodwood, along with Derek Bell and Emanuele Pirro, who each have five wins to their names.
Also on the list are André Lotterer, Darren Turner, Dindo Capello, Marcel Fässler and Romain Dumas, all of whom have three Le Mans wins. David Brabham and Neel Jani round out the group, each with one win.
From the US racing scene, Scott Dixon (a six-time Indycar champion) and Dario Franchitti (a four-time champion) will take part, as will Jimmie Johnson, a seven-time Nascar Cup Series winner.
Jenson Button, 2009 Formula 1 World Champion, currently competing in the World Endurance Championship, will also be in action. He's expected to drive a 1962 Jaguar E-Type in the Royal Automobile Club TT Celebration — a car he recently added to his collection specifically for the event.

Further distinguishing features include gold-painted brake calipers, colour-detailed centre caps, titanium exhaust finishers and gloss black exterior detailing.

Sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed sequential-shift gearbox, you can expect 0-100km/h in 2.8 seconds and a maximum speed of 332km/h.

Piastri on pole for Spanish Grand Prix
"I'm very happy with all the work we've put in." Norris said he had the pace but made a couple of small mistakes. "Just a couple of little mistakes. Turn One, where you don't want to make a mistake because it harms the tyres for the rest of the lap. A couple of little squiggles there. And Turn Four as well," he explained. "A good result for the team, a nice one-two and an interesting start for tomorrow," added the Briton, who started on pole last year but finished second. Seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton, winner a record-equalling six times in Spain, qualified fifth for Ferrari and ahead of teammate Charles Leclerc for the second time this season. Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli was sixth fastest, with Leclerc seventh after doing only one flying lap because he had run out of tyres. "I think we were one of the only cars to have only four new sets of softs for the whole of qualifying. All the others around us had five new softs," said the Monegasque. "I sacrificed today, I hope it will pay off tomorrow. If it doesn't, it's my fault." Alpine's Pierre Gasly will start eighth and Isack Hadjar ninth for Racing Bulls. McLaren team boss Andrea Stella said the team had not been at all concerned by the flexi-wing saga, which rivals had hoped might slow the defending constructors' champions. "It entertained to have this kind of debate but our simulations said everything was very small. We weren't concerned from this point of view," the Italian told Sky Sports television. Spain's double world champion Fernando Alonso, yet to score a point this season, completed the top 10 for Aston Martin in front of his home crowd. Verstappen's teammate Yuki Tsunoda struggled again and qualified last with Alpine's Argentine rookie Franco Colapinto also on the back row after a problem pulling away from the pit lane exit at the end of the opening phase. Sauber's Brazilian rookie Gabriel Bortoleto did well to qualify 12th.

Monaco GP scores with US viewers despite criticism
The Monaco Grand Prix delivered the third-largest Formula 1 audience in history in the US despite heavy criticism of the iconic track after Sunday's race. The race started at 9am and drew 2.3-million viewers on ABC, the most ever for the Monaco Grand Prix. The only F1 races to draw more viewers were the Miami Grand Prix in 2024 (3.1-million) and 2022 (2.6-million), according to Front Office Sports. This year's Monaco race brought in more US viewers than Miami (2.1-million) earlier this month. Through seven races in 2025, F1 is averaging 1.3-million viewers. Each of the past two seasons averaged 1.1-million, though the first half of the year does include the popular Miami and Monaco events. F1 signed an extension with Monaco last year that runs through to 2031. However, despite F1's experiment to require teams to make at least two pit stops, Sunday's race featured a largely unchanged top 10. McLaren's Lando Norris won the event from the pole, though he did overtake Max Verstappen on the second-to-last lap when the Red Bull star was forced to take his second required pit stop on the penultimate lap. That drew widespread criticism from drivers and fans, but F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali defended rule change. "We know the width of the street is (limited) and the cars are quite big, so the attempt is to create attention to that," Domenicali told Sky Sports F1. "It was great to see the day before everyone was thinking that everyone has to (do a pit) stop on the first lap, and a lot of discussion, so no one understood exactly anything. I think it was the right attempt and the attention was definitely there." A decision on whether the two-stop rule will return for 2026 has not been made, but Domenicali pushed back against critics of the race. "The Monaco event has been amazing," he said.
