At the recent Goodwood Revival, event partner Credit Suisse engaged with the media, competitors and spectators via a series of entertaining and informative Media Moments.
Credit Suisse opened the doors to its recently restored Credit Suisse Race Control building at the Motor Circuit on Friday, September 11, welcoming VIP guests and racers as well as Goodwood-accredited media to kick off the Goodwood Revival weekend.
Spectators enjoyed lighthearted interviews in the garden of Race Control with Credit Suisse Classic Car Program patrons Derek Bell MBE and Jochen Mass, who were grilled by journalist and historic racer Andrew Frankel. The drivers discussed the state of historic motor racing and reflected on their long careers.
On Saturday morning, Credit Suisse’s annual Historic Racing Forum returned with the theme of ‘Historic Racing Culture – Europe versus America.’ Goodwood commentator and motorsport authority Henry Hope-Frost chaired the discussion, which provided humorous anecdotes from the all-star panel.
Sir Stirling Moss OBE – otherwise known as ‘Mr Motor Racing’ – was joined by Derek Bell MBE, Alain de Cadenet, and Jochen Mass, as well as Forum newcomers Jackie Oliver and Dario Franchitti for a 45-minute debate in front of members of the press and VIP guests.

On Sunday, September 13, Credit Suisse acknowledged Sir Stirling Moss, friend and patron of its Classic Car Program, for his famous four wins in 1955. The legendary racer won the Mille Miglia, British Grand Prix, RAC Tourist Trophy, and Targa Florio in the same year – a unique distinction in motorsport history.
On the public lawn in front of Race Control, Lord March, Henry Hope-Frost and Karsten Le Blanc from Credit Suisse UK hosted the 60th anniversary of the ‘Quadruple Whammy’ celebration, which included a photographic opportunity, gift-giving and speeches. The ceremony was held in front of media representatives, driver guests and Revival spectators.
