The inaugural race of AIR RACE World Championship 2022 will take place at Goodwood from the 8 – 10 July 2022
Steeped in motor racing history, Goodwood is perhaps the perfect venue for the World Championship Series to take flight in a race calendar that will visit iconic Cities and venues around the globe.
