There’ll be a collection of great race cars touched by Ol’ Shel’, American hero.
“As Goodwood celebrates 75 years of the Motor Circuit, and 25 years of the Revival, it’s a chance to reflect on the motorsport legends who have joined us over the years,” read a Goodwood statement. “Carroll Shelby is no exception, having raced at Goodwood during the Circuit’s heyday in arguably one of the most important and dramatic races in the annals of British motorsport: the 1959 RAC Tourist Trophy.
“This race saw him share the winning DBR1/300 with his co-drivers Jack Fairman and Stirling Moss—the latter a late addition after his own car was eliminated in a spectacular fire during a routine pit stop. Earlier in the season, Shelby had won Le Mans, sharing the same DBR1 with Roy Salvadori, and victory in the Tourist Trophy secured the World Championship for Aston Martin.”
Shelby returned to Goodwood for the 2000 edition of the Revival, where he ran one of his namesake Daytona Coupes driven by Danny Sullivan. “We’re honoured that the Duke of Richmond and his team have chosen to honour the 100th anniversary of Carroll’s birthday this year,” said Shelby’s grandson Aaron Shelby.Who knows, there could even be a Shelby Series 1. Among the airplanes Shelby flew in the war were the B-25 Mitchell bomber, Douglas A-26 Invader, and the big, long-range, high-capacity B-29 bomber.
“It’s such a privilege to be celebrating Carroll Shelby at the Goodwood Revival this year,” said the host of the event, the Duke of Richmond, whom you may recall was previously called. “He was a good friend and I remember when Carroll first came to the Revival back in 2000—having raced and famously won at Goodwood in the 1959 TT—bringing with him his infectious personality and competitive spirit.
