Goodwood releases timetable for 75MM

The 75th Members’ Meeting (75MM) is fast approaching and, with plenty of on-circuit action to look forward to, Goodwood has released the official timetable for the weekend event.

An array of international sportscars from the 1970s are set to take to the Goodwood Motor Circuit for a high-speed demonstration at the traditional season-opener, while an all-new race for French and Italian pre-war Grand Prix and Voiturette machines has joined the roster.

The 75MM will also celebrate the return of the S.F. Edge Trophy, named after Australian-born British businessman and race driver Selwyn Francis Edge, as well as some of the most competitive touring cars ever to hit the circuit, 30 years after the inaugural World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) took place in 1987.

What’s more, the 75MM will feature a full grid of Lister sportscars going head-to-head in the all-new Scott Brown Trophy. Celebrating 60 years of what is arguably Lister’s most famous model – the ‘Knobbly’ – 30 Listers, including those powered by Jaguar and Chevrolet units, will go wheel-to-wheel.

The long-awaited timetable for the 75th Members’ Meeting, taking place on March 18th to 19th, can be found below. Please note that all times are provisional and subject to change.
