The '''Lavant Cup''' was a motor race held in the spring at Goodwood, England from 1949 to 1966. Over the years it was variously run for Formula 2, Formula 1 and, finally, Sports car racing classes, with the latter counting towards the British Sports Car Championship. The trophy is named for the near-by parish and villages of Lavant, which also give their name to the Lavant Straight on the circuit itself.<ref>{{cite book|last=Redman|first=Peter|title=Goodwood Remembered|year=2007|publisher=IM Publications|isbn=978-1901019063}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Gardiner|first=Tony|title=Motor Racing at Goodwood in the Sixties|year=2004|publisher=Veloce Publishing Limited|isbn=1845844963}}</ref>
