The best thing about Goodwood is being a fast track in the open, cars can be followed closely, so close that you can see the effort drivers have to put in steering these fast cars when driving on the limit. Spectacular! Love it!
I absolutely love how controlled drifts were so necessary in racing it shows the driver's ability and dare I say courage in the insane cars of the past...
I appreciate all these owners and drivers. We get a glimpse of what these priceless machines would have looked like when they were a dime a dozen on the racing circuits.
I'm thrilled to have "discovered" Goodwood because of the trio of Clarkson, Hammond, and May. Utterly fantastic, thrilling, and historical all rolled into one. The Duke of Richmond certainly knows how to put on a great show!
Yes he’d probably look relatively slow. But would be very very fast. My very favourite picture of Jim Clark is him at Goodwood at the start of the TT race in a Zagato Aston. He had qualified 6th or 7th, outgunned by Ferrari GTOs. It was an old style Le Mans start , ie cars lined by side by side, drivers on the other side of the road. Jim was in his car and away very quickly , opposite locking away in a full throttle but perfectly controlled way half a second in front of everybody in the first few seconds of the race. Sadly he crashed with John Surtees later in the race . And yes I did see Clark 3 three wheel his Cortina . I’ve got tears in my eyes as I type this.
So, the person in the green Cortina, seemed to be driving as if they stole both the car and the petrol, had a hostage tied up behind the seats and was fleeing the police, had a bomb rigged to the gas pedal so they couldn't let go, had wind at their back the whole time, really needed to pee, was seriously home sick, and their SO just called and said they were waiting in bed.
Anyone know who the driver of the 1st Cortina was Very fast & skillfully done - but even modern tyres wouldn't last for full race condition race laps, under those limits! Great Driving - Love It ❤
Nice one mildsteven77 - Thank You As a former Racer, Race & Championship winner, and former holder of 4-lap records for production based cars over 2-litres in the 90's - i doubt that those tyres would be 'fine' over a 5, 6, 7, 8 lap race, being used like that. Then again, the best we had available to us then was Bridgestone SE-01's (& SE-02's) . . . . so, i may stand corrected, compared to modern products (of which I'm unqualified to comment upon) Anyway . . . . . . I'm not wanting to argue, I'm just stating an observation, based on intimate, valid, personal experiences Cheers anyway !
@@stratman9449 You've never had one. It was the very best Ford I ever had, closely followed by the Cortina Mk 1 GT. I had my GT in 1963 and my Lotus Cortina in 1964. And kept them both until 1970. I wish I had kept them. You should buy a Mark 1 Lotus Cortina, and DRIVE ONE.
Of course you remember when I was driving around goodwood, and I was 5 times quicker than everyone else. I was flown there in superhero VIP class on the plane. You saw that I WAS BETTER THAN the great Leslie. You called me The Swiftest Man Alive and I accepted the title. I was SO quick that you probably didn't even see that I was there!
Most shocking this is (in my opinion), new(ish) cars would out qualify these older classics, I happen to own 2 decent cars, an old Escort Mexico (ex rally car) and an AMG Merc....... completely different to drive, the Merc is fast (and I mean lose your licence fast if you don't watch what you're doing), the Escort, about 1/4 the bhp, 1/3 of the weight, zero creature comforts, and noisy....... but a riot to drive it like a looney
They still allow cigarettes' to be advertised? Damn you're not as progressive as advertised, or maybe more! Gotta love the old cars with the guys leaning into the turns

And how stiff those cars are onboard! 💯

Oooff That Gt40 was Flying! The Driver was just feeling the limit at ever bend!
🖤
Oooff indeed
Inside the the GT40, looked like he was flying it !!

Wonder what that Cortina would look like if a 30-year old Jim Clark were driving it.
... wrecked ?! 😆
If jim clark was driving it, one of the front wheels would be in the air
It would probably not look that dramatic. Clark was known for a smooth driving style that was easy on the car while maximizing speed.
@@1PADRAIG absolutely it would. Rog
It would be SO SMOOTH.
2:15 - that's the racing driver, changes up for just for a few seconds!
I woke up to watch this!!! I am still dreaming!!! So incredible
real gentleman, even in full opposit lock he uses his indicator.
that Capri going nearly sideways and on the verge of loosing grip, beautiful driving
Yes he’d probably look relatively slow.
But would be very very fast.

I saw him, the best race driver in the history of mankind, smoothly drive away from the best in the world at Indianapolis and win.
Proper racing,brilliant.
"the best on board of the day".
"Now watch me edit it"
The driver of the 44... perfect example of, Drive it like you stole it
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Fantastic!

It’s was Andrew Jordan. The car was shared between him and David Dickinson. Race was a very sideways 45 minutes. Tyres were fine

@@mildsteven77 - Any relation to 90's racer Mike Jordan?
I bought one of his former Race Cars !
If he is, its a Small World eh ?
@@golic7123 Andy is Mike's son
Ah, thanks for that . . . I dint know.
Obviously theres talent running through the family DNA
What is that green 1930s-looking single-seater?
nobody dawdling about at goodwood....one more determined than the "other".....very impressive....
Any chance of this working?
man... does that little green Cortina ever lift?
🏁🏁🏁🏁👏👏👏👏
You know they're pushing when an indicator is on for no reason
Lmao
The Lotus Cortina was the best, and always will be.
yeeess...of course.....together with all the "others" we see a t Goodwood...yep.

I never knew this track was in ukraine
They're in for a shock, all the poor suckers who let the media do the thinking for them.
They still allow cigarettes' to be advertised? Damn you're not as progressive as advertised, or maybe more!

No. They simply allow classic cars to be in their original livery. And thank goodness the thought police and revisionist trends haven't banned that.
