DISCOVER THE PASSION, HERITAGE AND PRECISION THAT UNITE CLASSIC CARS AND FINE WATCHMAKING

The Goodwood Members’ Meeting is no ordinary race weekend. Founded by the 11^th Duke of Richmond, it’s a high-octane celebration of motorsport’s golden age, bringing together legendary cars, historic circuits, and an intimate community of racing enthusiasts. Since 2015, IWC has been at the heart of the action as the official Timing Partner, blending precision timekeeping with the raw thrill of the track.

DRIVEN BY PASSION

In 2018, IWC Schaffhausen officially launched the IWC Racing Team at the 76th Goodwood Members’ Meeting, becoming the first brand to compete at classic car events with its own team and car. At the wheel of the team’s iconic Mercedes-Benz 300 SL “Gullwing”, David Coulthard took ninth place in the Salvadori Cup. At the event, IWC Shaffhausen also unveiled a new member of its Ingenieur family: the Ingenieur Chronograph Sport Edition “76th Members’ Meeting at Goodwood” (Ref. IW381201) in a titanium case. It was fitted with protection against magnetic fields designed in the style of a brake disc and was limited to 176 numbered watches.

In October 2021, the IWC Racing team returned to Goodwood. At the wheel of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, Austrian racing driver Laura Kraihamer made her debut, only a few months after joining the IWC Shaffhausen family.

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES ON AND OFF THE TRACK

Over the years, we have brought more than just our racing team to Goodwood. The partnership has been marked by special watch launches, immersive brand experiences, and even hybrid events that connect the thrill of the track with watchmaking excellence. From unveiling timepieces inspired by motorsport to creating exclusive collector’s editions, we have cemented our place as a driving force at the Members’ Meeting.

IWC has also embraced digital innovation, turning Goodwood into a hybrid experience with virtual connections between the paddock and our manufacturing center in Schaffhausen. Whether through live discussions with IWC ambassadors or interactive experiences, the fusion of racing and horology has never been more dynamic.

WHERE CRAFTSMANSHIP MEETS COMPETITION

Goodwood is about more than just speed—it’s about heritage, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of excellence. Just like our watches, the classic machines on track are testaments to timeless design and mechanical mastery. From the unmistakable Gullwing to the finely tuned movements ticking on the wrists of racing fans, this partnership is a fine blend of past and future, tradition and innovation.

At Goodwood, every second counts. And with IWC as the official timing partner, timekeeping has never been more exhilarating.
