Motorcycles are featuring heavily at this year’s Goodwood Revival with the main event being the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy. Fitting then that Sheen’s son should be following in the footsteps of his double world champion dad during the 10th anniversary year of his death. Freddie rides a Manx Norton in the event, which this year is for 500cc bikes from the sixties and is teamed with GB Supersport champion, Glen Richards for the two races in which the riders swap at half point.
Barry Sheene was a big fan of the Revival and won his final race at Goodwood in 2002 before succumbing to cancer at the age of 52, one year later. We’re sure that racing novice, Freddie will continue to do his dad proud at this annual event and well into the future.
We couldn’t resist adding this footage of the racing legend’s last race in Great Britain. Take a look..
