Jackie Stewart Surprises Fans with Historic Tyrrell Shed Unveiling at Goodwood Revival
Goodwood, UK – Formula 1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart captivated motorsport fans with an emotional appearance at the 2024 Goodwood Revival, marking the official reopening of the iconic Tyrrell Shed. The historic structure, which served as the birthplace of Stewart’s three world championships with the Tyrrell team, has been meticulously restored and relocated to Goodwood to preserve its legacy.
The project was led by the Duke of Richmond, who praised the collaborative effort to save the structure from demolition. “The shed symbolizes a golden era of motorsport engineering and teamwork,” he remarked during the ceremony. Stewart, known as the “Flying Scot,” reflected on his years with Ken Tyrrell, highlighting the critical role the team played in shaping his career.
“Ken Tyrrell was unique, a man of extraordinary principles,” Stewart told the gathered crowd. “I owe much of my success to this very shed and the people who made it a second home.” The moment resonated with fans and former Tyrrell team members, who donated period artifacts to enhance the authenticity of the display.
The revival event drew other notable figures, including ex-Tyrrell driver Martin Brundle, who shared fond memories of the team’s early days. Brundle credited the low-budget but tight-knit atmosphere with helping him hone his skills in the sport.
The Tyrrell Shed will remain a permanent fixture at Goodwood, offering visitors a glimpse into the grassroots spirit that defined 1970s Formula 1 racing. Stewart’s presence made the occasion all the more poignant, underscoring his enduring influence in the sport. Fans in attendance described the ceremony as a rare and moving tribute to both Stewart and the legacy of British motorsport.
