Goodwood today announces a renewal of its partnership with LGT Wealth Management for the 81st Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport, which also includes sponsorship of the new all-Ford Mustang race – the Ken Miles Cup – one of only two races running exclusively on sustainable fuels at the event.
LGT Wealth Management is part of LGT Group, a leading international private banking and asset management group that has been fully controlled by the Liechtenstein Princely Family for over 90 years.
The 81st Members’ Meeting takes place over the weekend of 13 and 14 April, with the Ken Miles Cup taking place on the Sunday. In 2023, Goodwood announced that all races at this year’s Goodwood Revival – 6-8 September – will run entirely on sustainable fuel.
The 45-minute inaugural ‘Ken Miles Cup presented by LGT Wealth Management under the Governorship of Grant Reid’ will feature up to 30 Mustangs, renowned for their powerful engines and iconic design. The race will celebrate the model's 60th anniversary and pay tribute to esteemed British driver, engineer and mechanic Ken Miles who claimed the first major race victory for a Mustang.
Jonathan Gregory, Commercial Director at Goodwood, said: “We are delighted to be continuing our partnership with LGT Wealth Management and, indeed, expanding the relationship to include sponsorship of the Ken Miles Cup, which promises to be one of the highlights of the Members’ Meeting weekend. Ford Mustangs have a very special place in the hearts of British motorsport fans and Ken’s achievements in various roles deserve to be celebrated.
“LGT shares Goodwood’s commitment to sustainability, so it is very appropriate that this race is being run on sustainable fuel.”
Ben Snee, CEO of LGT Wealth Management, said: “We are thrilled to sponsor the Ken Miles Cup at the 81st Members’ Meeting as a sustainably-fuelled race. As a company with a heritage deeply rooted in sustainability, we take immense pride in supporting an event that aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility.
“We are excited to contribute to the legacy of this historic event and to partner with Goodwood in supporting the transition to a carbon neutral future.”
The race will see some of the world’s greatest drivers compete, from Grand Prix and 24 Hours of Le Mans winners to Touring Car Champions, as each Ford Mustang features two drivers in a head-to-head battle for the cup. The 81st Members’ Meeting will feature a total of 11 races across the weekend for competitors on two and four wheels.
The Goodwood Members’ Meeting is an access-all-areas, epic weekend of motor racing, hosted by and exclusively for the Goodwood Road Racing Club.
As well as a full programme of racing, the Members’ Meeting features all kinds of cars from classic tin-tops and GTs, to motorcycles and open wheeled Formula 3 and F1 machines, offering visitors a friendly and intimate atmosphere. A winning formula of spectacular cars, high-speed track demonstrations, car launches, fun-packed festivities and great entertainment, along with the very best food and drink.
Founded by the Duke of Richmond, the annual event aims to recreate the atmosphere and camaraderie of the original BARC Members’ Meetings held at Goodwood throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
The Goodwood Road Racing Club (GRRC) is the community of motorsport enthusiasts at the core of Goodwood’s iconic events and motoring legacy. The club is a growing community of all ages who share The Duke of Richmond’s passion for motorsport.
