Glover Trophy
motor racing trophy
The Glover Trophy was a motor racing trophy awarded at various events at Goodwood Circuit, West Sussex between 1950 and 1963.
In the 1962 race, Stirling Moss, who had won the race on two previous occasions and was considered one of the world's best racing drivers at the time, crashed at St Mary's corner on the 37th lap. The accident left him in a coma for several weeks and ended his career. The damaged helmet he was wearing at the time is currently on display as part of the Donington Grand Prix Collection.
In recent years the title has been revived as a historic racing event, forming a central part of the annual Goodwood Revival meeting.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
