2025 Madgwick Cup preview | Goodwood Revival

What is the Madgwick Cup?

A fixture from the earliest days of the Revival period, the Madgwick Cup takes inspiration from sportscar races that took place during the 60^th-64^th Members’ Meetings. It was first awarded in 1948 as the Goodwood Voiturette, won by Dudley Folland in a MG Magnette K3. It was awarded annually until 1954, and as the Goodwood F2 — Formula 2 — race for the last three editions. Stirling Moss was a two-time winner, in 1949 and 1951, respectively, while Roy Salvadori also claimed the cup in 1953.

Steeds included Coopers and Connaughts, though at Revival it has been varying Lotus models that have enjoyed success. The grid for the Madgwick Cup features some of the most beautiful cars of the event, with sleeker bodywork and smaller engines it's quite a contrast to some of the weekend’s other contests.

In 2025, the grid will comprise sportscars from 1960-’66 with engines smaller than 3.0-litres. These svelte cars each vying for victory in a 25-minute battle.
