Silver Arrows

Grand Prix titans

This weekend, Goodwood is celebrating the spectacular era of the ‘Silver Arrows’. These crushingly dominant, silver-liveried Grand Prix titans were campaigned by the Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union factory teams from 1934-39. Three quarters of a century since this technical arms race was cut short by World War 2, they’re back in Great Britain and joined by a typical grid of competitors from their day – Alfa Romeos, Bugatti, ERAs and Maseratis. This weekend’s demonstrations offer Revival visitors the sights and sounds of these legendary machines, running in anger, side-by-side and evoking one of the greatest ages of Grand Prix racing.
