Listed are the race winners at Goodwood in saloon cars outside of the British saloon car championship which started in 1959. Some of the cars listed may have also raced in the Brit Saloons but these races are for club-level cars of a free formula , the early special saloons. Many of the first races were for 'closed cars' where the saloons mixed it with GT cars and the latter are noted in black type were applicable. Likewise most races were on handicap format until the fashion finally wained and pure scratch races took over.
