Goodwood Revival breaks attendance records with 2012 show

MORE than 140,000 motorsport fans have helped make an automotive extravaganza with a retro twist into a record-breaking event.

The organisers of the Goodwood Revival, a celebration of motorsport of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s at the West Sussex circuit, said that this year's attendance figures made it their most successful show to date, with 146,000 petrolheads and retro fashion fans alike attending between September 14 and September 16.

I wasn't one of them but Life On Cars reader Judy Dix was, and has very kindly agreed to share a few pictures from the event:

If this trip down motoring's Memory Lane is your sort of thing, then you'll be probably be interested in a one hour documentary on the event being shown later this week. The programme will be shown on ITV4 this Thursday (September 27) at 8pm, then the following night at 7pm, and then on ITV1 at 12.05am on Wednesday, October 3.
