1960s F1 car sound! Classic Lotus race car & more at an Oulton Park Testing Day
Historic racing cars and much more feature in this visit to a varied Testday at Oulton Park circuit - ranging from a thunderous Lola racing car to an eventually straight-piped early 1960s Lotus F1 car!
Expect a walk around the busy paddock of Oulton Park where a variety of racing cars both modern and classic could be spotted, with many BMWs old & new, Ginettas, Porsche Caymans and F1000 cars featuring.
After a quick look at the paddock I wandered over to the fantastic vantage point of Lodge corner which is the last corner of a lap of the Cheshire circuit where tyres are overheating and grip is low - which you can certainly see in the footage!
Luckily, I also was lucky to get a seat in one of the many Formula 1000 cars attending this particular race car testing session, with drivers practising for the next day's race.
If you enjoyed this then please take a look at the channel homepage for past videos of motorsport action from Oulton Park circuit, featuring both classic race cars and modern race cars on the limit and beyond at the undulating Cheshire circuit, filmed from a range of fantastic vantage points - and subscribe so ensure you don't miss out on any future content.
Which car would you have taken for a lap - let me know in the comments below!
Thanks for watching!

    Just seeing your younger self here, Harley. You've developed an encyclopedic knowledge of automotive history since then; I daresay, there isn't another fellow of your age anywhere on the net who can identify so many arcane details about cars from so many eras and countries. For those of us who eat and sleep autos, England is the valhalla of vehicles. I tell you that from across the pond in New England, where car shows are not only restricted to half the year, but feature a much, much less diverse gaggle of marques. If I had the funds, I would live on your fair Island, hopping from show to show!

    Harley's dad probably told him already that the Yamaha badge is three tuning forks, because of Yamaha making musical instruments (the motor bike bit being a kind of spin-off from the music company part). If you're lucky enough to have a Yamaha piano you can find the same logo on the frame.

    Another wonderful video thankyou Harley. That F5000 is a Lola T330 / T332 variant (not sure which). When I was your age these were very popular cars in Australia. They were so LOUD!!!’nnn you can imagine the noise when 20 of these lined up on a grid ready to race! They would make the earth vibrate! Wonderful old memories you have brought back for me, thanks once again.

      Yep, I think the Lola in this video was probably silenced a bit more than back in the day to comply with the sound regulations of the circuit - which contrasts how the Lotus did several laps with its silencer removed!

    Never knew much about F1000. One litre superbike engine. Way back when I was your age we had F5000 in Oz. It was all about Cubic inches in the '70s. MAPing engines i suppose was all about grinding a good cam and more CFMs in the carb. Will we be sitting around in the future discussing kilowatt hours, listening to almost silent cars with 10 thousand torques? I hope not.

    Harley you are morphing into Dad because he has passed a great deal of moting knowledge which you maturely and professional pass on at shows. While I enjoy this one due to your youthful enthusiasm, clever editing and scripting, I prefer the older cars which have so much moe character and are obviously usually more used, whereas some of these more modern ones are cossetted and seem never to be driven to their full potential - even arriving on trailers! But I enjoy seeing you develop from early toy car vids, and though still an enthusiast with the oily rage thing with tools and boxes etc., you are developing into a smooth professional. Well done.! Keep 'em coming! Rob

    Hi Harley. You asked the owner of the Reliant Robin what are these like to drive ?. I thought the owner was going to say a bit of a worry. The Reliant Robin was never released here in NZ. We had the Reliant Scimitar in limited numbers. The Scimitar is certainly nothing like the Robin to look at. Good show , but to be honest I prefer the older timers. I have never seen a car like that little green one before either. It looked Japanese to me. Thank you Harley. From Carl.

I like the old 1930s Rolls , and the two tone colours suit it. Beautiful old Daimler there. But there is nothing like your favorite car Harley , the orange coloured Austin A35. It was good getting some background info about the lovely E - type Jaguar. Thanks from Carl in New Zealand.

    I had an Austin A30 as my first car around 1958, It was, apparently, one of the first, an AS3 as I remember, with the fuel filler cap on the nearside rear wing. one wiper and other "cheepo" things. I knew nothing about this then and still don't. I'm afraid. I can't remember why I sold it but I bought a Standard 8 exactly the same as yours. I paid £30 for it and sold it quite a few years later for £35..The Standard was called "Chugger" by my two sons and often took 4 adults and 4 kids out on a Sunday.. My now ex wife used to use it daily to take the boys to school and go on to work. I hadn't been in Chugger for quite a while and one day when I came home from work she said "That lights been on where the speed thingy is". "Which one? I asked, Red or Orange". She didn't know so I went to look. It was the Orange Oil light and when I dipped it the stick could not have been more shiny if it had been brand new. When I asked how long the light had been on she replied "Oh! a couple of weeks now".was the reply. Topped it up at a local garage, no problems, and it took the 4+4 out again the following Sunday..It was a Terrific little motor but A Vauxhall Viva HA SL had caught my eye so I put the £35 i got for Chugger as a deposit on that. It was a good car but nowhere near as much fun as the Standard 8.
