To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the most iconic British racing car, the Jaguar D-Type, the Goodwood Revival organization has organized a separate race.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Jaguar D-Type, there will be a special D-Type race at the Goodwood Revival 2014

On Saturday, September 13th, 30 D-Types will be at the start of the Lavant Cup. Not only the "normal" D-Types will start, but also the long-nose variants. There will also be two exotic cars: A Jaguar XKSS, a high-performance sports car derived from the Jaguar D-Type in 1956, and the rarity Jaguar E2A, the second prototype between the D-Type and E-Type, which was produced in 1960.

The D-Type replaced the highly successful C-Type racing car and made its debut in 1954. The following year, the works team with Mike Hawthorn and Ivor Bueb won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 1956 and 1957, the Scottish Ecurie Ecosse secured overall victory, and even gold and silver in 1957. At the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans, however, the D-Type not only shone with first and second places: among the first six places, five D-Types celebrated their endurance!

D-Types also celebrated their success at the Goodwood Revival, for example Gary Pearson at the Sussex Trophy in 2006 and Anthony Reid in 2013.

The Goodwood Revival 2014 will take place from September 12 to 14, 2014.
