James Hunt to be celebrated at 83rd Goodwood Members’ Meeting

The 83rd Goodwood Members’ Meeting on 18-19 April 2026 will celebrate James Hunt’s time in Formula 1.

During the weekend, there will be an on-track demonstration of cars raced by Hunt himself and those he competed against during his career in F1 between 1973 and 1979.

Hunt’s son Freddie said: ‘The 1970s were a transformative era for Formula 1, and my father was undoubtedly at the heart of it all. To see some of his greatest cars reunited in celebration of what many consider the greatest season in the sport’s history truly means a great deal to us.’

The Duke of Richmond CBE DL added: ‘I’m thrilled that the 83rd Members’ Meeting will celebrate the 50th anniversary of James Hunt’s World Championship. James was such a larger-than-life character, and he’ll form a central part of the narrative as we celebrate the whole era of Formula 1 from 1973 to 1979.

‘To see those extraordinary ’70s Grand Prix cars on track at Goodwood, evoking such a thrilling and colourful period in the sport, will be a very special moment.’
