Supercars line up at Goodwood for children’s charity

A two-day spectacular, offering the unique opportunity to experience some of the UK’s finest supercars.

The Children's Trust Supercar Event at Goodwood

The countdown is on for The Children’s Trust Supercar Event, which returns to the Goodwood Motor Circuit, Chichester, on Friday 22 and Saturday 23 July.

It will feature an exciting range of luxurious and high-performing supercars including a Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari Monza SP2, Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, Ford GT 2005 Derivative and Idola Motorsport – Praga Race Car.

Television personality Craig Phillips – TV’s DIY and home improvement expert and the first ever Big Brother winner – will be there as host.

Car enthusiasts have the unforgettable opportunity to take a passenger ride around the iconic Goodwood track in an exclusive supercar. Or they can enjoy passenger rides out on the open road in classic cars and sports cars, courtesy of the Sporting Bears Dream Rides team. Plus, there’s a host of other family-friendly attractions on site.

The Children’s Trust Supercar event was created by Sussex petrol-heads Richard Davis and Mark Wynne Pedder back in 2007. Richard’s close family friend, Becky Groves, was left with a brain injury when she was just 12 years old, after which she received rehabilitation at The Children’s Trust. Richard was so inspired by Becky’s determination and the efforts of the charity’s rehab team, that he brought a group of Ferrari drivers to the charity’s Tadworth, Surrey, site to offer fun free passenger rides. Since then, the event has grown and raised a staggering £1.5 million for the charity.

Hannah Liles, Senior Events Manager, The Children’s Trust says: “Now in its 16^th year, The Children’s Trust Supercar Event is a two-day spectacular, offering the unique opportunity to experience exhilarating rides in some of the UK’s finest supercars. We are so grateful to the drivers of the amazing supercars who donate their time, petrol and tyres for free, helping us raise tens of thousands of pounds for children with brain injury and neurodisability each year. We have a few tickets still left, so book now and join us for a wonderful day out at Goodwood.”

The Children’s Trust Supercar Event is open from 9am – 5pm each day.
