The 84th Members’ Meeting at Goodwood presents an extraordinary celebration of one of motorsport’s most resplendent chapters: the TWR Jaguar era. The Jaguar works team, masterfully orchestrated by TWR, emerged as a formidable force during the latter years of the Group C and IMSA racing eras, a period that crystallised the very essence of high performance engineering and competitive excellence.

This remarkable period witnessed Jaguar reach the pinnacle of international sportscar racing. The works team secured the World Drivers’ and Teams’ Championships in both 1987 and 1988, establishing a dominance that would resonate throughout the motorsport world. The victories came with magnificent pedigree: victories at Le Mans 24 Hours and the Daytona 24 Hours in 1988 and 1990 respectively, events that represent the ultimate test of engineering prowess and endurance.

The crowning achievement arrived with a third World Championship double in 1991, completing a triumphant sequence that marked Jaguar’s most successful period since the celebrated 1950s. The XJRs that carried these victories became legendary in their own right, adorned with some of racing’s most iconic liveries that remain instantly recognisable to enthusiasts and collectors alike.
