1976 McLaren M26 F1 Cosworth DFV attacking Goodwood's Hillclimb in Dry & Wet Conditions!

It's always very special to see some old machines being driven fast on the tight hillclimb course of Goodwood. During this year's Festival of Speed I fell in love with the McLaren M26 F1 car driven by Michael Lyons both during the McLaren 60th Anniversay batch and on the timed shootout, in which he finished third with a time of 46.89.
This M26 is chassis M26-01 and it's the only M26 example that was used during the 1976 season, driven by Jochen Mass in the Dutch Grand Prix and only in the free practice sessions of the Italian GP. The M26 was in fact intended to be introduced mid season to replace the aging M23 model, aiming to be lighter and lower than this one, with a smaller frontal area and narrower monocoque to reduce drag. But after the poor result of the first race it was decided the car needed further design work done due to cooling issues emerged as there was simply no room for all the radiators in the M26's small side-pods. The M26 was not used again during 1976.
McLaren relied on the M23 during the rest of the season and for the first few races of 1977. The redesigned M26 made its debut at the Spanish Grand Prix. The final solution was to place the oil-cooler to the nose of the car. Unfortunately, this also eliminated part of the gains in drag reduction compared to the M23. Anyway James Hunt managed to win three times and scored two other podium finishes during the course of the season. The M26 was retired after a couple of runs in early 1979.
Listen to the legendary sound of the 3.0-litre Cosworth DFV V8 engine at full blast!

Now *that* is how you attack Goodwood in an old Formula 1 car!

It's amazing how the glorious Ford DFV engine was just a common V8 back then, but used by so many teams and so succesfull. Additionally, right after the 90s / 2000s V10s & V12s I'd choose this as the best sounding engine everyday. I've seen such cars multiple times at classic events at the Nurburgring and they just make the whole ground shake as they rush the start / finish straight. Just amazing.

This is what an F1 should sound like. Thanks for posting this.

[@19Bozzy92]

No worries! It's always a pleasure for me ;)

Michael Lyons: one hell of a driver, whatever he straps into !!!

[@nigelwilliams9307]

M26 was a great looking car.

[@lucapisa9294]

Quanti ricordi queste erano le f1 di quando ero ragazzino che mi introfulavo di notte ai box a Monza a vedere i meccanici lavorare rumore traversi e tanto tanto coraggio 🍀⚪🔴

When you see and hear that... How can you like modern racing cars... 🤔🤔🤔⁉️💯🛢️🔥🏁🏎️🤓🇨🇵

[@CTcuber4K]

I went to a Michelin star restaurant and had a burger... I still like McDonalds... 🤔🤔🤔⁉💯🛢🔥🏁🏎🤓🇨🇵

[@JohnSmith-mk5jt]

My brain hurts reading this

[@kikiautorcman787B]

@@CTcuber4K Come to France (or in others countries) and you won't eat "burgers" IF YOU DON'T WANT (of course...😉). Mcdonald is in all World countries... You know that I think. Michelin isn't a restaurant, it's a tyres manufacturer for first activity... The simplicity has been chosen in your restaurant, maybe the burger was 5 stars... 😉⁉️💯🛢️🏁🏎️🤓🇨🇵

Seems I like old F1 race cars better than the current😂💙

The v10s of the 2000s sounded beautiful but they dont sound pure and natural unlike these 70s and 80s v8s and v12s
