S.F. Edge Trophy Part 2 highlights

They’re not the fastest cars you’ll see at the Members’ Meeting weekend. Neither are they most dynamically capable, and many of them don’t even have a full complement of brakes. But none of that matters when this gaggle of varied machinery takes the Motor Circuit and engages in wheel-to-wheel battle. It’s a terrific spectacle no matter if the terminal velocities are relatively modest.

It’s a race for Edwardian cars, GN specials and those in the spirit of pre-1923 Brooklands competition. Uniting themes are skinny tyres and scary brakes but otherwise these are wildly different answers to the question of going quickly more than 100 years ago. We love it. 

S.F. Edge Trophy Part 1 Highlights

This five-lap Edwardian showcase really showed why it’s ever-present in our event calendar. Whist this isn’t the fastest race of the weekend, Part 1 of the 2026 edition upheld its reputation for entertaining. Archie Bullet secured pole in the Pic Pic Sturtevant Aero and had the infamous Sunbeam ‘Indianapolis’ keeping him company on the front row. These wide-bodied cars make overtaking even more exciting to watch, and while we saw that in action on Saturday there was one lead driver that pulled away and opened a gap of almost two seconds to take a decisive win in this first part. But was that Bullet or Majzub? Watch the full race highlights to find out.

S.F. Edge Trophy Part 1 Official Practice

The largest grid of pre–World War I cars assembled this morning for Official Practice of the S.F. Edge Trophy, the sunny conditions at Goodwood providing an ideal stage to show magnificent these Edwardian cars are.

On pole position for Saturday’s race at 17:45 is Archie Bullet in his 1918 Pic‑Pic Sturtevant Aero, setting an impressive lap time of 1:55.302 and proving that, despite their age, these cars still pack a punch. Joining him on the front row are Julian Majzub in the 1916 Sunbeam ‘Indianapolis’ and Ben Collings in the 1907 Mercedes 120hp, mirroring their strong performances from 2025.

When is the 2026 S.F. Edge Trophy?

This two-part Edwardian motor race unfolds across the weekend, with Official Practice at 10:25 on Saturday. The first competitive outing follows later that afternoon at 17:45, before the race concludes with Part Two on Sunday at 11:30.  

With the largest grid of pre‑war cars on the programme, split across two parts and five intense laps, it promises thrilling, uncompromising competition. This is a race that stands out for its heritage, drama and sheer spectacle.

Who’s competing in the 2026 S.F. Edge Trophy?

A distinguished field of drivers are ready to etch their name into history at the 2026 S.F. Edge Trophy, many returning with unfinished business and proven form. Previous winner Ben Collings is back aboard his formidable 120hp 1907 Mercedes, while Julian Majzub returns in the ever‑dramatic 1916 Sunbeam ‘Indianapolis’, a car intimately linked with some of the closest finishes in the race’s history.

They will face stiff competition from an experienced and richly varied line‑up, including Duncan Pittaway, Graham Rankin and Ivan Fox. With many of the drivers deeply familiar with both Goodwood and the unique demands of Edwardian machinery, the stage is set for another fiercely contested encounter where precision, bravery and mechanical sympathy are equally vital.

Which cars will be in the 2026 S.F. Edge Trophy?

The S.F. Edge Trophy will feature the largest grid of pre‑war cars on the fixture list, spanning the pioneering years of competitive circuit racing and endurance competition. This embraces an extraordinary range of Edwardian and early post‑Edwardian machinery, from monumental aero‑engined racers to delicate Grand Prix liveries.

Among the standout entries are the Fiat S76 ‘Beast of Turin’, Peugeot Indianapolis, Napier Grand Prix, Delage GP Voiturette, Bugatti 8 Valve and Mercedes 120hp, alongside nostalgic representatives from Sunbeam, Bentley, Vauxhall, Alfa Romeo, De Dion‑Bouton and Talbot.

From brute force and innovative engineering to refined early racing design, this grid offers a vivid cross‑section of motorsport’s formative years, cars that represent the very first steps toward modern Grand Prix racing.
