This year’s Revival (16-18 September) is set to pay homage to Lord March’s grandfather – Freddie March, the Ninth Duke of Richmond – on the 80th anniversary of his historic win for the Works MG racing team in the famous Brooklands Double Twelve race of 1931.

The Ninth Duke was an accomplished racing driver, taking many victories for both the MG and Austin at Brooklands in the 1930s.Goodwood will mark the 80th anniversary of Freddie March’s important 1931 race win with the MG team of five cars that he created, by staging an authentic recreation of the MG team’s Brooklands paddock at the Revival, including a line-up of supercharged racing MG C-type Midgets from the early 1930s. 

At least six authentic racing MG C-types will also be on display, including two Midgets that competed in the Brooklands Double Twelve endurance race.  A total of 13 C-types were entered in the Double Twelve in May 1931, with the MGs securing the coveted team trophy, as well as the top five places, with Freddie March taking the chequered flag.
