What Happened
Maserati takes centre stage at Goodwood Revival 2026 this weekend, as motoring enthusiasts gather at the Goodwood Motor Circuit for one of the world's most celebrated motorsport events. The brand will showcase iconic heritage vehicles from the renowned Panini Collection, presented and supported by Maserati Classiche, against the backdrop of its Trident centenary year. Goodwood Revival has adopted a 'La Dolce Vita' theme this year, celebrating Italian culture, romance and motorsport from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

The Turning Circle, the focal point of the Goodwood Motor Circuit, is to be redesigned to pay homage to Italian style and heritage throughout the weekend. The 2026 Revival racing programme has been redesigned for maximum racing, including the 'Battle of Modena', while Friday features more racing than ever before. Sunday welcomes the return of The RAC TT Celebration, described as the most prestigious race on Goodwood's annual calendar.
The Berlinetta A6GCS-53 is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful Maseratis ever created, combining Pininfarina coachwork with the racing pedigree of the A6GCS-53 sports car; only four were ever produced and it was the last Pininfarina-designed Maserati for more than 50 years. The Tipo 420M/58 'Eldorado' made history as the first single-seat racing car in Europe to carry a commercial sponsor's livery, with a powerful V8 engine and speeds in excess of 217 mph. The Tipo 61 'Birdcage' is celebrated for its revolutionary lightweight spaceframe chassis made from 200 small steel tubes, combined with exceptional agility and race-winning success.
