The Revival recreates the golden era of Goodwood Motor Circuit, between 1948 and 1966 – when motor racing stars such as Sir Stirling Moss would create sporting history. This widely acclaimed event now annually combines theatrical and sporting drama and assembles the most significant racing cars and motorcycles, plus legendary drivers and riders from the past and stars of today.

There will be a thrilling 16 races over three days featuring the best of the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s.  Motul will be title sponsor of the hugely popular St Mary’s Trophy saloon car race and will be the entrant of a star car and driver, a major part of this great historic motorsport event, which is the only one in the world to be staged entirely in period dress.

Motul will also have a shop on the Revival High Street – a row of shops which is 100% presented in period – which will provide a meeting point for classic car owners. Motul’s modern technologies and expertise will benefit the servicing of classic engines and vehicles, and the passionate owners of these beauties will be able to ask questions, get information from technical experts, and buy products.

As with all Motul’s motorsport involvements, the knowledge gained through the use of Motorsport Line’s 300V – in this case on rebuilt-for-modern-use engines – will help develop the Classic Line products available for everyday use in historic vehicles.
Without the correct lubricants and care, many vintage and classic models would cease to run. Motul has 165 years of expertise invested in its Historic Vehicles range and has produced a wide range of products to suit vehicles of different ages, for different use and for engines and gearboxes requiring varying viscosities and compatibilities.

The company has long been involved in the classic car world and is official Lubricant Partner to FIVA (Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens), the Brooklands Museum in the UK, plus events such as the Tour Auto and Le Mans Classic and specialist tradeshows such as Rétromobile in Paris as an Official Partner.
