#Sheene

The great Barry Sheene, winner of the 500cc World Championship in 1976 and ‘77 and the Formula 750 World Championship in 1973, was born OTD in 1950. The charismatic cockney remains one of the greatest riders that Britain has ever produced and it was an honour to watch him compete in his last ever race at the 2002 #GoodwoodRevival. In a performance that perfectly surmised his career, Sheene rode all out for victory in the Lennox Cup aboard a Manx Norton 500 and pushed rival Wayne Gardner all the way to the chequered flag - where the pair were separated by just 0.002 secs!

Two legends, one finger, and a thousand stories. This wasn’t just racing, it was rock & roll at 200 km/h. ⁠ #BarrySheene #KennyRoberts #MotoGPHistory

This was a beautiful moment. Freddie Sheene rides the bike his father won his last race on. #GoodwoodRevival

Epic battle between Barry Sheene and Kenny Roberts at the 1979 British Grand Prix 🇬🇧 #Silverstone #MotoGP #BritishGP #BarrySheene

💥KENNY ROBERTS VS BARRY SHEENE 🏁 El histórico final de la carrera de 500cc en el #BritishGP de 1979 celebrado en Silverstone. El cronometraje de la época les dio el mismo tiempo, pero se aprecia que alguna milésimas de distancia hubo.

@stevestavrosparrish on that time he qualified as Barry Sheene 🏁🤣 #pushingthelimitpodcast

Barry Sheene MBE was one of the most famous two-wheeled stars ever come out of Britain and the cheeky cockney was an inspiration to millions of motorcycle racing fans. There were other British champions who achieved more on the track, but the articulate, witty and confident ‘Bazza’ brought his successes to the attention of the British public – and they took him to their hearts. He was equally famous for overcoming his numerous crashes – at one time he had metal plates in both knees, 28 screws in his legs and a bolt in his left wrist! Our new Barry Sheene t-shirt is a tribute to one of the Bike GP greats and a motorcycle legend who is sorely missed.

The great Barry Sheene - who will be celebrated in spectacular fashion at the 2026 #GoodwoodRevival - gave us many memorable moments, but this one is particularly special to us at Goodwood. In his final ever race weekend, just six months before his passing, Sheene went head-to-head with Wayne Gardner in the 2002 Lennox Cup on our very own Motor Circuit and reminded us all why he was a two-time 500cc World Champion.

Thank you #barrysheene for the kind words! I always admired Barry’s dedication, kindness and incredible talent! He set an example of how to respect the fans and represent our sport!
