Goodwood Circuit
Goodwood in Sussex ist ein Pferde- und Motorsportzentrum.
Der Goodwood Circuit ist die dortige Motorsport-Rennstrecke. Sie führt um einen alten, im 2. Weltkrieg erbauten Flugplatz. Am 18. September 1948 fand das erste Rennen statt, das Stirling Moss in der 500-cm³-Klasse gewann.
Im Laufe der Jahre war die Rennstrecke Austragungsort zahlreicher Rennen. Aufgrund der immer höheren Geschwindigkeiten genügte die Strecke ab 1966 nicht mehr den Sicherheitsstandards. Der Rennbetrieb wurde daher nach dem letzten Rennen am 2. Juli 1966 eingestellt.
Am 23. April 1962 hatte Stirling Moss einen schweren Unfall auf der Strecke, in Folge dessen er seine Karriere beendete.
Der Kurs ist ebenfalls mit dem Tod des McLaren-Gründers Bruce McLaren verknüpft, welcher am 2. Juni 1970 bei einer Testfahrt für einen CanAm-Rennwagen in Goodwood ums Leben kam.
