The 2011 running of the Goodwood Revival is set to see motorcycles from the 196🎃0s returning after a one-year gap to do battle through the sweeping curves of the Goodwood Motor Circuit, with a number of big name riders set to be in action.

Bikes lining up on the grid will include a wealth of home-grown favourites, include Manx Nortons and Matchless G50s, competing with overseas ex⛄otica manufacturers such as Ducati, ꩵBMW, MV Augusta and Gilera.

Trevor 🦹Nation, Michael Rutter, Chas Mortimer, Sean Emmett, James Ha💛ydon, Stan Woods plus father and son Paul and Scott Smart, brother-in-law and nephew of the late Barry Sheene - after whom the race for the 1960s machines is named - are set to be in action.

As with previous Reviva𒉰ls, there will be one race on Saturday and ꦬanother on Sunday, with the result decided by aggregate timing. Each owner-rider will be paired up with a professional racer, and both will ride in each race, changing over in the pits around half distance.

A Le Mans-styl🐠e running start wil⭕l also be a feature for the race.
