@@GoodwoodRR I don't & can't drive myself, but just to choose between the two, I think the Jag would have the edge for me. I'm wondering if the bonnet partially open on the Healey, I'm guessing that doesn't help with aerodynamics?
You have again outdone yourselves by putting on a safe as possible festival of racing with your tremendous volunteers, announcing, racing and interested humans. I had the honor to compete in vintage motorcycle racing(observed trials, cross country, and dirt track). It is no joke to pull off an event year after year. The Goodwood folks are a force to be reckoned with. Good on you all. You have a fan here.
Beautiful race!!, wonderfuly driven XK150 and Austin Healey 100 six!!, what a race!!😊😊Thank you Goodwood Revival!! Sometime in a near future when l retire l would like to go to a Goodwood Revival in England!!, Greetings from a Jaguar enthusiast from Argentina!!😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Watching the beginning of this race I finally realised why in the UK people drive on the left side of the road. It's because with the steering wheel on the right hand they can better peel the edge of the track in all the most important corners at Goodwood! Madgwick, Fordwater, Lavant, Woodcote... 😜 ... always exciting races here 😉👍👍
Nice to see the DBR4, a car I worked upon many times during my apprenticeship (1958 - 1963) in the A M racing & development shop at Feltham - happy memories but a useless apprenticeship.
Yes they can, though maybe they took the weather and track conditions into account, and used a different final drive ratio that would suit the conditions better...
Because its not mandatory to have them. As per FIA Appendix K, pertaining to historic motorsport, if a car wasn't originally designed and built to have a roll hoop, they can not use one.
At the 29.28 mark, "momentarily" (..."for a very short period of time...") should have been "in a moment". A pilot of a large jet once announced "We will be in the air momentarily" and my request to get off the plane was denied !
When the safety car is out, there is a golden opportunity to pan through the entire field. Why keep showing the leading cars over and over again? Some of the most interesting cars are further down the field.
That safety car nonsense have ruined motor sports. That car was completely out of the road, and it was very unlikely to anyone to hit it. I started to watch Formula 1 in early 90s, when it was not uncommon to marshals to leave retired cars on road, if it was not on racing line. Nothing even remotely dangerous ever happened because of those retired cars.
Excessive safety car down time has always been a bugbear at Goodwood. So slow. Bring in a local authority car removal team. Those that can swoop on a parked car, hoist it up and have it disappear in seconds. Seems to be a delibirate intention to bring the fields together if they become spaced out.
@mattiojaniemi333 Having driven race tracks, I think safely is VERY IMPORTANT for the driver , and i agree it's not very good for the spectator but it's not a blood sport , Motor sport is dangerous enough as it is without increasing that danger and besides there are LOTS of rare and expensive cars racing and them drivers are racing to win , imagine your 250k classic parked up trackside and someone gets out of shape on the grass and ploughs straight into the back of it I'd be thinking should of got the SC out !
There are lots of sports, that are dangerous, and we just accept it, like some martial arts and extreme sports. Having a safety car every time when someone retires is equivalent of having the referee stopping the fight in boxing after every well landed punch. With modern technology, the marshals could know where the cars are and the drivers could know where where there are marshals on the track, and the track could be cleared with just yellow flags.
Would you take the Jag or the Healey?

@@Sheffield_Steve It does help with the cooling. I used to race a 3000.
Has to be the Jag !
I owned a couple of 3000 Mk1. They were beasts to drive.
@@rcnotes I have a road and also a track Datsun 240Z - a joy to drive fast ;-)

Got to love Charles Morgan, grandson of the founder of Morgan, competing in a classic Morgan.
Wow, what a race !
Smashing on the limit racing in these most beautiful of cars.🥰🙌😁

I really enjoyed watching this I was stood right on the start finish line.
Danke!
Absolutely beautiful race
The leader looks like James Bond being chased by Goldfinger.

Fantastic race!
BRILLIANT !!
Who needs F1 when we've got this?

amazing
Goodwood revival was always about St Mary's for me. But with the dominance of the Big Galaxie in the dry, this is my new favourite race
No roll bar on the Healey?! Surprising.
It goes back to the days when soccer players were not prima Donna's I believe.
Not sure if the Jag was geared correctly for that track. I assume they can change gear ratios??
Yes they can, though maybe they took the weather and track conditions into account, and used a different final drive ratio that would suit the conditions better...
Yes indeed!! correct the gear ratio for yhis track in the XK150,you need more revs!!😊😊😊❤❤❤
Was there oil on the track from the Elva that's pouring oil on the track maybe?
E Type Jag as a safety car?😆👍
Why doesn't the Healy have a roll bar?
Because its not mandatory to have them. As per FIA Appendix K, pertaining to historic motorsport, if a car wasn't originally designed and built to have a roll hoop, they can not use one.
The Healey was the winner from start to finish. They took a snapshot fallback when the 150 was leading. How convenient. Healey won.

jag brakes gave out in te last lap, saved by a red flag.
Not satisfactory.
Bloody nanny car, for a car off the track. Single yellow is the max needed
the bonnet popped on the healy and he lost his aero
jag with crap brakes saved by the red flag. A shame.
2 people commentating ... really annoying!

Not sure I would call safety policy non sense .
