Goodwood Revival may be packed with priceless classic cars and vintage fashion, but let’s be honest: nothing steals the show quite like the Settrington Cup. Imagine a grid full of children furiously pedaling pint-sized pedal cars with the intensity of Le Mans legends—because that’s exactly what this is.
This year, Austin Pedal Cars is making it even more legendary by putting a historically important 1955 Austin J40 back into the race—battle scars, vintage patina, and all. Originally won by a young Ted French at Silverstone in the very first Austin Pedal Cars Junior Grand Prix, this little champ of a car has been lovingly restored (but not too much, because history) and will race again at Goodwood.
And here’s the kicker: your kid could be the one pedaling it. The winner of the competition gets to race in the Settrington Cup aboard this slice of pedal-powered history, plus weekend tickets for four and a bunch of merch.
So if your child has strong legs, a need for speed, and a fondness for vintage swag, this might just be the cutest motorsport moment of their life. Pedal hard, win hearts.
