The other cars were just incidental! The real fight was between driver and car, between power and grip (which seems to have gone on holiday for this event) every slight squeeze of throttle elicited a nasty twitch that needed correcting! An epic demonstration of how to drive right on the ragged edge of what is possible on a difficult day. Let's face it, if you don't go beyond the limit now and again, how will you know you are on it? Can't work out if Ollie Bryant is a tad smoother or if Jake Hill was just giving an extra couple of %!
I can only imagine the difference in having a completely dry surface vs. a damp surface would have out there. Unfortunately someone forgot to turn off the tap...
@@culcune Years ago I attended a trackday at Goodwood with one of the Triumph owners clubs, the day wasn't just a bit damp in patches, it was positively waterlogged and STILL tipping it down. I didn't have more than 1/10th of the power of a Cobra in my ancient 1600cc Vitesse powered Herald estate, yet still had huge difficulty gaining and keeping traction. And downshifting to 2nd for the chicane had the rear wheels momentarily locking up, no matter how carefully I tried to match revs. With a nasty sideways twitch to go with it! Still, it was SO wet that I was actually keeping up with cars a lot more powerful than mine that had even less traction available!
What a beast of a car.. How Olly and Jake got the absolute best out of the car in some very poor conditions was incredible driving. So consistently on, or over the limit. Amazing show of driving skill.
That last segment where it was nearly all rearward facing camera was awesome. I would have loved to see some of the beginning of the race from that view since all of the cars were much more squirrely on the damp track. Excellent video @goodwoodrrc
He really knows how to handle that beast most of it was wheel spinning and side ways action and he was all for useing all the horse power he had that's wat you called proper driving and racing old school way 🙂👏
I think the rear wheels were going faster than the front wheels for most of the race. Great throttle and steering control on those high speed hydroplanes.
Moving like a dangerous coupley snake !! A weightlifting s car that requires velvet right foot , brain And balls !! What à race ... much better than actual formula 1 Tks for sharing 👍👍
Great drive and video. It would be helpful however to include the date of the event in the descriiption, not just the name of it, and also other links to the action. Thanks
please find a way to create a racing series with these? I swear on all that's holy I'll show up loyally just like formula 1 races every friday, saturday and sunday. this is WAYYY better than formula 1 though.
There already is .. Goodwood have them twice a year. There's also Peter Auto and Masters Historic Racing who organizes a lot of races in Europe. For example, Peter Auto just had a race weekend in Estoril...
AC and TVR same engine supplier and chassis designer just like the OTHER ENGLISH car the GT40 which came from LOLA same chassis designer input in all four 🇬🇧
@@dezartsean6059 That's a silly question. One, the camera angle and glare from the screen mean you can't see the marshal posts easily, and two, bear with me on this, that's not how you use a blue flag. Blue flags during races are for showing slow traffic they are about to be lapped by the leader(s). So, you aren't going to see any blue flags during the early phases of a race because nobody is getting lapped. Unless there's a problem. Oh, and there are race stewards, and penalties applied where appropriate.
@@StarkRaven59 You're being very rational towards a passionate statement in which I glorified some super, rugged racing compared to what we see paraded each Sunday in F1. Yes, I race and I know the flags ;-)
@@dezartsean6059 I get it, just a small bit of exception at your phrasing. Nearly everybody uses blue flags and post-race steward reviews, so we're all ponces save maybe the Nascar guys. Yeah, F1 is extra poncy, but we've known that for a long time.
man, it sounds like the mill is pinging at 4800-5250 under WOT maybe the timing is locked out and had it tuned for dry where the revs would be above that
@@jcgabriel1569 Thanks JC, that is just amazing. In ~1965 my uncle drove him and me, in his new 1964 first-year Pontiac GTO, to Vacaville Raceway, west of Sacramento, California. I guess it was a practice day on the road course, and 4 brand new black, first-generation, 289ci FIA Cobras showed up to promote. Not sure if Carol Shelby was there but they were new from the factory on a promo tour on the West Coast. They said, "If you got a helmet they would take you on a hot lap". My uncle borrowed a helmet and went for a ride. He said it was scary fast.
Who owns this cobra, I've got pictures of this car from the 1980's when it was stored on display in a country club in Surrey but I can't remember which country club it was !!!
That sliding car in the first minute was trying to toll back on the track with its nose forward? I didnt see it hitting the brakes. That kind of manoeuvre can get you banned on IRacing 😅
I was fortunate enough to see this race at this year’s Goodwood Revival. Superb battle throughout the race with both Olly Bryant and Jake Hill doing a great job.
Ah oui, le 2°relais c'est pas pareil, beaucoup plus dans les tours, pourtant le couple de ce moteur est bas quand même, quel agressivité dans la conduite, les pneus et le reste vont prendre cher 🤣
Not bad driving, but no wonder the car is unsettled when you're sawing at the wheel and stabbing at the throttle pedal like that.......... You need to learn to be a lot smoother driver, and you will go faster. The only time you ever need to be aggressive is if the car snaps out of line and you need to correct it quickly. Nice car though, seems to have enough power.
This is about 1000 times better than modern racing it’s just pure!
Brilliant driving and very respectful competitors .
That Cobra is a full on beast and a half . Much respect to the
" snake charmer ! "
Perfect balance between skill and guts with too much power in the rain. Excellent to behold.
For me, better than watching any Formula 1 race. thanks for sharing.👌
Traction has left the building 😅. What a drive 👌

It's called on the limit .
What a supreme example of "tippy-toes" driving.Huge respect 🎉
I've been to The Brothers Museum and have seen some of the first racing Cobras but to "ride along" with one is truly a pleasure! Thank you so much!
What a beast of a car.. How Olly and Jake got the absolute best out of the car in some very poor conditions was incredible driving. So consistently on, or over the limit. Amazing show of driving skill.
what a show! Thanks!
That was really the best driving what a show wow
That's a torque Monster!!!
Awesome driving. Watching the battle between the Cobra and the TVR at the end and seeing both drivers dial it up to “11” was incredible!
Tom, headlamps ablaze, relentless. Would love to have seen his PoV for the last 15 mins,

Sliding around like this in the wet you gotta have some skills and a big pair of brass balls , very much enjoyed this
What a hand full
He really knows how to handle that beast most of it was wheel spinning and side ways action and he was all for useing all the horse power he had that's wat you called proper driving and racing old school way 🙂👏
Now THAT is friggin racing!! This here is only for those that REALLY know how to dance in the rain. Wow. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Talk about steering with your feet 😮 twitchy is an understatement! Great skill and proper racing not the rubbish we've got now 👍
La TVR Griffith à la fin 🤩, jolie bagarre 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That was an epic race 2 great drivers fighting for first and those cars were driven on the limit but with so much control and finesse
Great video. What great racing. From where I sit, that's pretty much 10/10ths driving. He deserves that Cobra and the vice versa! 😁
And that my friends is a racecar driver that knows how to drive in the rain!!
Getting after it! -Nice work
I think the rear wheels were going faster than the front wheels for most of the race. Great throttle and steering control on those high speed hydroplanes.
Amazing control and instinct in the wet.
pure racing ….no words..!!!!!
hes steering more with the throttle than with the wheel. love it :)
Awesome, steering feedback is crazy
Nice work, boys!
Moving like a dangerous coupley snake !!

GG to you . Strange it's sometimes sound as a McLaren F1 car with a V12 !
I like this sound :)
He’s just playing with the Jag 😂
Now THIS is racing - no poncy blue flags and lawyers' meetings afterwards ; if you want it - go get it !
Pretty sure Goodwood still uses blue flags.

Goodwood revival 3 week’s ago, driver Jake hill & oil Bryant.
Perfection!
controlled chaos
I'd recommend a rear wing adjustment; but only after the race engineer checks the telemetry.
Free Bird Kicked in - 😂
then back to second !!
SUPER BABBASS.FOR SURE.❤
Is this a 289? Incredible!!
@@JoshuaZosma more like a 429
Small block or big block? The right car, great mechanics and a super driver = winner.
289 Cobra.

Proper car, proper engine and proper driving - how I hate the poo boxes that drive themselves!
I hate when I have to stop hard and ABS kicks in. That feels so unnatural.
Sublime!
Before I checked the credits I thought for sure that was TK driving...
Awesome!
What engine? sounds great.
Those rear tyres are just itching to get loose.
Wet ground is not one's friend out there!
Who owns this cobra, I've got pictures of this car from the 1980's when it was stored on display in a country club in Surrey but I can't remember which country club it was !!!
I assume these are polyester tires?
If the windscreen wasn't so soiled, mes amis !
Right hand Drive Cobra
Lots of wheel spin
If you're not first, you're last.
@@one-rv2bx Yep, you’re just the first loser if you’re not first!
Short shifting and backing off the throttle to sqeeze traction out of it.
That sliding car in the first minute was trying to toll back on the track with its nose forward? I didnt see it hitting the brakes. That kind of manoeuvre can get you banned on IRacing 😅
Lot more power than the tires can handle. Slipping and sliding. Beter than computerized traction controll
289 or 427 Cobra?
Suspension is wired
Nobody could be bothered to clean the windscreen at the pitstop?!
Ford Racing!
36:32 NEED I SAY ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE REAR VIEW.
I don't understand if these cars are tribute cars or originals.
Originals.
@@jcgabriel1569 Shelby Cobras were mfg
In California only bodies. We're built in
England. So how are they right hand drive?
Same for Griffiths.
Didn’t that abused to Bill Shepherd’s Daytona Cobra?
La puissance de cette diablerie, je voudrais pas être à la place des pneus 🤣
No way that is a real Cobra. Wouldn't that be way too valuable to risk racing it?
@@michaelvstheworld3680 read up on Goodwood Revival. You can't race unless you meet the criteria. It's real. They're all real.

That's not an easy drive, you can smoke the tires in any gear at any speed, at the slightest bump. O.O
You can out corner everyone on the track!!!
I watched the whole thing, that was fun!!!
This driver barely needs a steering wheel.

He won the race. That was literally the fastest possible way to drive that car round the circuit, for an hour. No doubt you would have done better 🙄
He would of passed everyone quicker if he used the torque better. Not a very smooth driver. No toe heel going on there.
