To have a drive at Revival is to be a winner in your own right. That said, races are races, with outright winners, podium-sitters, fastest laps and epic drives besides. Prize-giving at the end of the weekend is the Duke of Richmond’s chance to congratulate all the drivers on their performances at the Revival, the winners and podium sitters and those who went that extra mile to put on the show.
What a Revival it was, too. After these two years out, the name gained new meaning. Everyone seemed extra eager to have fun and to race. New for the Revival in 2021 was the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy, permanently renamed from Kinrara Trophy, and the Festival of Britain Trophy, renamed from the Goodwood Trophy. We had an all-Mini race, a touring car double-header, sportscars big and small, a variety of F1 eras and pre-war voiturette action. We also had the historic race aces of the future back in the Settrington Cup.
We’ve counted down the podium placers and winning racers at the Revival in our results page here but who got a bit of extra special recognition from the Duke this year? Who and what took wins outside of the main event races? Let’s count them down.
The pedal-powered dash for the historic race aces of the future.
