BMW i7 at Goodwood House: Revival Elegance, Racing Heritage and a Quiet Moment

Posted: 19/09/2025

Every so often, chauffeur work delivers a one-off moment. For us, it came during the Goodwood Revival, when our BMW i7 paused briefly in front of the famous Goodwood House. For once, the crowds parted, the lawns were clear, and the historic backdrop was ours alone — the perfect opportunity to take a photo that captured the blend of modern electric luxury and centuries of sporting heritage.

The Revival is usually a whirl of tweed, tea dresses, and the growl of historic race cars, so a moment of quiet is rare. But this image sums up why Goodwood continues to enchant: an estate where tradition, sport and style converge. From its stately house and horse racing track to its golf courses and legendary motor circuit, Goodwood remains one of Britain’s most distinctive destinations.

At Plus Chauffeurs, we shape our Event Travel around these special days, keeping schedules precise and experiences seamless. Whether arriving at Revival, heading to the Festival of Speed, or enjoying a race day at the Goodwood Racecourse, our fleet — including the i7, listed under Electric Vehicle on Our Vehicles — ensures that guests experience the same blend of luxury and timeless charm that Goodwood itself represents.

Goodwood House: history and heritage

Goodwood House has been the seat of the Dukes of Richmond for over 300 years. Built in the 17th century and extended in Georgian times, it’s a striking blend of Palladian style and sweeping parkland. Inside, it houses one of England’s finest collections of art and furniture. Outside, it provides the backdrop for some of the country’s most famous sporting events.

Goodwood Motor Circuit

The Revival is held at the Goodwood Motor Circuit, originally opened in 1948 and used for racing until 1966 before being lovingly restored. Today, it’s the only classic circuit in the world still maintained entirely in its original form. The Revival celebrates the golden age of racing, with period dress, historic cars, and an atmosphere that’s as much theatre as it is sport.

Goodwood Horse Racing

The Goodwood Racecourse, often called “Glorious Goodwood,” is one of the world’s most picturesque racecourses. Perched high on the South Downs, it’s known for flat racing and the prestigious Qatar Goodwood Festival. The sweeping views, summer social scene and high-class racing make it a highlight of the British sporting calendar.

Golf at Goodwood

Not all the action at Goodwood comes with wheels or hooves. The estate also hosts two championship golf courses — The Downs and The Park — both designed to blend into the surrounding landscapes. Golf at Goodwood combines sport, scenery and heritage, offering visitors a different pace of leisure with the same sense of tradition.

Why the BMW i7 belongs at Goodwood

The i7 represents a new chapter of luxury travel — quiet, refined and environmentally progressive. At events like the Revival, it bridges the past and present: historic motoring celebrated at the circuit, while modern electric performance carries guests seamlessly to and from the estate. Spacious interiors, silent drive and discreet arrival make it an ideal match for high-profile days out.
