The popular annual event, which will take place on 6-8 September at the Goodwood Motor Circuit, will require all cars to use a fuel that has a minimum of 70% advanced sustainable components, in accordance with the FIA’s current requirements for sustainable fuel.
Despite the changes to the fuel, no modifications to the cars will be required and on-track performance is expected to remain unchanged across the various classes and categories.
The Duke of Richmond, founder of the Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival, said: “Goodwood has an illustrious motorsport history and one which we are delighted to continue with the announcement that at next year’s Revival, all of our races will run on sustainable fuel.
“I am proud that we are the first to be mandating the use of sustainable fuels at the event and would like to thank all of the participating owners, drivers and preparers for their support.”
This year’s Revival hosted its first sustainably-fuelled race, as a grid of pre-1966 Porsche 911s competed in the Fordwater Trophy, which included 2009 Formula 1 champion Jenson Button and nine-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner Tom Kristensen.
At the same event, Ben Collings and Gareth Graham became the first drivers to take a win using sustainable fuel aboard their 1925 Bentley Speed Model in the Rudge-Whitworth Cup.
