Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy
10th September 2010
STARS SHINE BRIGHT FOR BARRY SHEENE MEMORIAL TROPHY AT THE 2010 GOODWOOD REVIVAL
Following the successful debut of 1950s motorcycles racing at the Revival in 2008 – inspired by the 1951 motorcycle-only race at Goodwood – this year’s event (17-19 September) will see bikes from this golden era doing battle through the sweeping curves of the Goodwood Motor Circuit. In just over one week’s time, the Goodwood Revival will welcome back these hugely popular machines, along with a wealth of star riders to put them through their paces.
Bikes lining up on the grid will include Italian exotica such as a 1948 Gilera Satuno, and various German BMWs, tackling home-grown favourites such as the Norton Manx and Dominator, BSA Gold Star, Triumph T110 and Vincent Comet Grey Flash.
These sports bikes from yesteryear will be ridden by many top names from the past, including 500cc World Champion Wayne Gardner, eight-time TT winner Charlie Williams and Imola 200 winner Paul Smart. They will be joined by fast men from the modern era including James Haydon, Jeremy McWilliams and Steve Brogan to name but a few, all looking to get one over on the past masters, as will potentially ex-Formula One driver Gerhard Berger.
As before, there will be one race on Saturday and another on Sunday, with the result decided by aggregate timing. Each owner-rider will be paired up with a mutually agreeable professional racer, and both will ride in each race, changing over in the pits around half distance. The Le Mans-style running start will also be a feature which is certain to cause drama and excitement once again, for both spectators and competitors alike.
Entry to the Goodwood Revival is strictly by advance ticket only.
