The 2024 Goodwood Revival has announced the roster of drivers and riders who will participate in this year's event. Taking place from September 6 to 8, the line-up includes notable figures from various motorsport disciplines, highlighting the event's commitment to showcasing diverse talent.

A significant aspect of this year's Revival is its focus on sustainability. For the first time, all participants will compete using alternative fuels, marking the event as the world’s first historic motorsport event to do so.

Among the participants are two Formula One world champions: Sir Jackie Stewart (1969, 1971, 1973) and Jacques Villeneuve (1997). Other former Formula One drivers taking to the grid include David Brabham, Derek Bell, Jochen Mass, Karun Chandhok, Max Chilton and two-time Formula E Champion Jean-Éric Vergne.

The event will also feature prominent motorcycle racers from the British Superbike Championship, Isle of Man TT, MotoGP, and World Superbike Championship. Riders such as Bradley Smith, Carlos Checa (making his Goodwood debut), Jeremy McWilliams, Leon Haslam, Tommy Bridewell and Tommy Hill are set to participate. Additionally, five Isle of Man TT winners, including 23-time winner John McGuinness MBE, will be competing.

In the endurance racing category, nine drivers with a combined 29 wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans will be present.
