A few first-generation fastback Mustangs would add some spice. The Shelby G.T. 350 version would be preferable. :) But at 350,000 dollars and much much more, they likely prefer racing inside garages.

I own a '61 falcon, '66, '87, '98, '05, mustang gt's and a '16 gt350r. Ive owned Camaros, vettes, challengers, chargers, a 1997 viper gts, the list goes on. However every mustang ive ever built, is still in my garage. I cant bring myself to get rid of a single one of them. My wife wont let me either. Even when things were tight a few years back and i sold all my motorcycles, we sold the big house, the RV, bunch of rifles, the mustangs remained. Theres something about them i could never put my finger on. Especially my '98. I love that car so much i cant begin to describe the attachment and obsession i have for that car. No. It is FAAAARR from stock. However it does still have the original 2 valve 4.6 liter v8 even though the only original piece left is the block. Its a 500whp, 2720 pound race car with a/c. I drive it every single day. I dont know what it is about the sn95 for me. Its always been my favorite car. My dad owned a badass black one when i was a kid. Its the car i learned how to drive in. My wife and i had our first date in my '98 when it was the only thing i had besides a one bedroom apartment and a female pitbull named Shelby. She said the second i shut her door she knew it was the last first date she was ever gonna have. She was LIGHT YEARS out of my league. I was a little overweight, had $84 in my account, addicted to oxycontin, and had 6 warrants for my arrest. She stuck by my side through everything. Never complained one single time. Shes my everything and its that little white 1998 mustang gt that initially turned her head. So ill be buried in that car.

Great racing right there! Panels are cheap and plentiful for first gen Mustangs and they certainly drove like they knew that. What was with the shifter in the 166? Longest throw I’ve ever seen in a road race car. Great camera work too. Hats off to the Goodwood guys.
Anyone tuning in from the States? All I've seen from there are in classics racing are gentlemen drivers parading their cars around being respectful. Can you tell me if there is anywhere that real racing like this takes place.
Laguna Seca has historic racing each year I believe, in fact I think there are a few goodwood channel streams showing them. The races seem quite competitive.
I've raced my Camaro and Corvette (from England) in US for many years with Historic Sportscar Racing and Sportscar Vintage Racing Assn and have never experienced "parading" or "procession" racing. We race flat out but with respect - just as historic racing in UK
Are these all 64 1/2 to 66 Mustangs? I had a 64 1/2 Mustang in my senior high school year in 1973. It was a 289 with a 3 speed floor shifter,gloss black with a red interior.I wish I still had that car today. Dean Jay Gross.
What a fun race to watch! Can someone explain (of share link) the rule set for this race series? Engine, suspension, brake modifications? What tire are allowed? What is the minimum weight?
The announcers for this race had to be the easiest job EVER. "The Mustang in the lead, the Mustang in the rear, the Mustang spun out, the Mustang has won" 😂
I think gt350 was herts rental Mustang. Carol Shelby was forced into that because of building GT500 for only those who wanted muscle car. Herts said "everybody should have the opportunity to drive a Shelby gt". Most of those cars were factory specs (smb v8)and Shelby flare on body parts with racing stripes. If I remember right
Was there signage on the 10 that we were not allowed to see? Only a couple of long range views as it moved up from 10th to 2nd after pit stop that was not acknowledged. Not even view of it out rear window of winner as 2nd finished.
Big fan of the Mustang. So I have questions. Can anyone tell me the engines they are running? Transmissions? Any special rules for these guys running these beautifully spectacular‘stangs? Oh and tires too?
My dude Lewis is 100% correct. Theyre allowed to choose final drive ratios, suspension settings, tire air pressure, timing settings, jetting settings, and of course they have extensive structural chassis and safety improvements. Other than springs, shocks, engine compression, windows, chassis and safety these cars are actually pretty close to showroom stock. I own 5 mustangs myself. '66, '87, '98, '05, and a 2016 gt350r. My '98 is my favorite no question. My '66 is set up almost identically to these cars except for tires, vintage air a/c and glass windows. When my wife and i can drop the offspring on my parents, the '66 is what we terrorize the town in. Gorgeous, self built, 105 octane burning 460whp 289, tremec tkx 5 speed. Im pretty sure i could get it to lake Tahoe without a steering wheel. Steering input isn't mandatory in a mustang you steer with the rear.
Nice! Thanks for the replies guys. Nothin like a high rev 289! Such a cool series. Hope they do one with Cobra’s too! Aw heck…throw in some Pantera’s for fun! My first car was a ‘69. Have had 2, ‘70 MACH1. Currently a ‘14 GT Track PAC car with 22k miles that I bought in ‘15
Now this is what I call “Damnit Racing”! I believe this is the best race I’ve ever seen at Goodwood. Swopping paint and a lot of sliding while guiding.👏👏👏🥸What a race this has been! Absolutely Brilliant! 👍
just another thing....tom Kristensen didn't cruise through the whole field this time......when EVERYBODY else was driving a big american v8....yep just saying....
horrible camera coverage, at the end we didn't get to see the car 9 overtake? he was 4 seconds ahead of the 4th place car? huh? do they rigg saloon racing too?

No offence to either Harry or Alice, but it would be nice to be able to just enjoy the glorious roar of these cars without the endless and often unnecessary commentary drowning them out.
Incredible cars, great action, but there's really no point in recording it on such poor equipment that creates such choppy video. For such brilliant content it's really terrible to watch
Yeah, according to the Ford v Ferrari film (no authority I know) Ken had a pretty poor opinion of the 'Stang when it was launched, branding it an overweight "secretaries car" or something similar. Notice they are all 65-67 notchback cars, so probably restricted to the 289 motor which would have been the biggest motor available in those days. Like to know the rest of the rules myself, seems like something I fancy doing. A basket case early car of this model is still relatively cheap (they made literally millions) and all the steel is available in aftermarket. Even the 289 is not that well thought of by tuners any more that they are expensive. Why tune the nuts off a 289 when you can drop in a Coyote for less money and get an instant doubling of WHP?
What more could we ask? A button to turn off the IDIOT announcers. My blood pressure and rate drops with the race and the sound of the cars. Add these morons and it shoots right up. Love the Mustangs!
Pluses:great racing Minuses: Drone shots add nothing no matter how much these commentators force their mandatory "opinion'. The female is annoying and talks way too much.
@UKMechanic glad you like them. I'm sure many feel the same way. For me they take away the feeling of speed. But I especially dislike the zig zagging opposite of the road/track or car/person we see in other sports/series they are beginning to implement more (eg, f1 and skiing) . I've completely stopped watching downhill and giant slalom skiing where they use it almost every run and the effects are very annoying (in addition to the high pitched whine). At least in F1 I have a couple different views I can choose from. Seems like all of sports want to mimic what's seen in video games. Like in our NFL now that are showing more and more shallow depth of field that mimics what they show in video games. The drone shots mimic the follow view point of video games but annoying the way (as mentioned above) the drone zig zags opposite to the turn or the participant. It all adds unnecessary movement and points of view (imo of course). I don't mind the very occasional drone shots as a panorama view but i dislike the more frequent views used to follow participants. Racing at Goodwood is just phenomenal though. Really look forward to the two events every year.
Having a race composed solely of land yachts proves they are not REAL racing cars, and that typical American trucks just don't go round a corner properly. I found this totally boring, about the level of FoS. Not worthy of the Revival.
hot damn these guys are RACING. I guess thats what happens when your wife pisses you off daily and you go out get milk. LOL. Reminds me of Bathurst series.
Thank you Goodwood and England for having such a love of all classic American Muscle...your country seems to honor this era more than we do!

proper racing with proper cars, what more could we ask 😁

There is plenty left, one million units of standard HT Mustangs were manufactured 1964-1966.
Looky what Lee Iacocca did to my Falcon! This is fantastic. Like the narrator said, it's awesome to watch these 'stangs in the corners.

I was wondering where all the classic Mustangs had gone!
I would love to see this with the fox bodies
That’s so cool, I’ve never seen so many first gen mustangs.
Isn't it ironic, Ken miles didn't really like the Mustang.
I thought he didn't like v 6 Mustang.
He liked it a lot after he got to massage one into a racecar! The GT350 was a beast!
It only showed the road car he didn’t like in the movie he loved being part of development of the GT350 race car! And loved it after that

It was the mk 4 that Ken had his fatal accident in.
No accurate cause has ever been proved, the suspicion is the transmission locked up .
Parts for Stangs are as easy and cheap to get in the states as are MGB parts in the UK.

The coupe Mustangs used to be the poor relation to the fastbacks but I bet we're all checking E bay for nothchback Mustangs now, I know I am
With all the cars being 65 coupes, this seems to be like an IROC series but with mustangs using identical drivetrains. How unfortunate, and boring.
