The group includes two complete winning line-ups: Dindo Capello/Tom Kristensen/Guy Smith, who won in a Bentley in 2003, and Marcel Fässler/André Lotterer/Benoit Tréluyer who, together, triumphed three times for Audi.

Five-time winner (1975, 1981, 1982, 1986, 1987) and most successful British driver ever at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Derek Bell is pictured here at the wheel of a 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO in a parade celebrating the 75th anniversary of the famous Prancing Horse.

The Centenary Trophy and the 75 years of Ferrari – two outstanding anniversaries captured in a single picture. On the left (#14), the Ferrari 250 TR58 in which Belgian Olivier Gendebien and American Phil Hill scored the first of their three Le Mans wins in 1958. The Ferrari bearing the number 20 won twice in succession: in 1963 in the hands of Lorenzo Bandini/Ludovico Scarfiotti, the only all-Italian driver line-up to win Le Mans in a Ferrari, and the following year when driven by Frenchman Jean Guichet, the oldest living former winner, and Sicilian Nino Vaccarella.

Goodwood Revival also attracts a collection of vintage aircraft and Warbirds (Second World War fighter planes) on the airfield at the centre of the racetrack.
