The world’s most popular historic motor race meeting staged entirely in the nostalgic time capsule of the 1940s–60s through the lens of the photographer Uli Weber. Following on from the success of the book Portraits, featuring celebrity portraits from over of a 20 year period including Daniel Radcliffe, Sting, Bruce Willis and Kylie Minogue, Uli Weber has now turned his lens to capturing the magic of the Goodwood Revival festival. Goodwood Revival is a magical step back in time, a unique chance to revel in the glamour and allure of motor racing; a rare opportunity to celebrate the halcyon days of motor racing as it used to be, with all of the spectacle and elegance of the era. Held over 3 days at Goodwood, the estate of Lord March, competitors and spectators alike dress in period fashions, with the finest sights and entertainment of the pre-1966 era for all to enjoy. Every year Goodwood stages a highly competitive race meeting for the kind of cars and motorcycles that would have been at this historic circuit during 1948-1966, offering visitors the opportunity to leave the “modern world” behind and see motor sport luminaries including Sir Stirling Moss, Nick Mason, John Surtees, Jean Alesi and Sir Jackie Stewart racing.
