I thoroughly enjoy the Goodwood races, but wish the Mini's had their own series to compete in. They're amazingly competitive, but just seem to get squashed by the bigger cars. Carry on, I'll be watching and enjoying either way 😁
Happily there are so many cars racing experts in youtube, providing so interesting messages (even if they absolutely dont know what they re sayin about) 😂😂😂
There were plenty of ugly cars made back then despite the lack of regulations (on bonnet height, lamp height etc) -- the Austin Maxi springs to mind! There are plenty of 1960's cars that are not lookers.
Seems to me that if you want to win, prep an American Muscle car. Dont waste your time any money prepping something else . They should really be in a class/race of their own.
Don't hate me for asking, but are these races hosted anywhere without commentary? I sure would love to actually hear the cars instead of the commentators, as helpful as they are.
Nooo please ! Thats the coolest part of races like that and St Marys Trophy. The fight david vs goliath is incredible fun to watch! Normally its leveling nice with the much fast cornering minis and the grunt of the muscle cars on the straight.

Forever these are called motor racing = light weight, no driver aids, cars are alike at what you could able but from dealers. Most important “they don’t look all alike” .
I love Goodwood BUT it always strikes me as quite ridiculous to (mis)match up lumping great camero's, Mustang's and V8 saloons against Mini's and Escorts!..
This definitely isn't fair racing. I remember in the 1960s when the 7 litre Ford Galaxys started we tried to get them banned and I'm still of the same opinion. Cars that fast and powerful are always going to win however skillful the other drivers are, as this race once again proved.
The Minis' lack of weight is only a disadvantage when push comes to shove. Always a giggle to watch Minis mixing it with American iron, especially on tighter courses.
Funny how they have to throw these overblown American slugs in with the smaller engined cars. They wouldn’t even get within two laps of the E-Types and Cobras or GTO’s.
You know the rovers are v8s don’t you. Also e types, cobras and gtos are 50s-60s tech. Rubbish handling compared to the much wider and more powerful 70s mustangs and Cameros. Admittedly I don’t get why they are in this category. The minis beat the v8 falcons at Bathurst in the day but they were all available here in Australia.
In the 60's Dan Gurney shipped a stock Chevy Impala over here, competed and qualified on pole in the British Touring cars. The Impala had a full interior such was it's advantage in power even against MK2 Jags and the like. Sadly the muscle cars of this era (70s) were somewhat stifled by new, over zealous emissions regulations in the US and aren't quite as potent. I used to look down my nose at big, simple American stuff but as I've gotten older and better informed I realise they have their strengths and charm.
Funny, no. Fun, yes. Each and every car has its pros and cons. But I would not call those American cars “slugs”. They were pretty fast. Not exactly a finely balanced “Sports “ car, true, but fast. 🚗😁🇺🇸 “Merica “❗️
The race is for cars raced in the ‘70s and ‘80s British Touring car championship. So, if it raced it is allowed. However, racers being racers, if they want to win a cup they buy a yank tank. The Rovers and Capris have been eclipsed now, it is a bit of a shame. When it rains it’s a different story though…
_"People say yanks don't handle, they obviously do!"_ With a ton of modifcations they handle OK-ish, but the minis are still all over them on a twisty circuit.
Lovely to see the skill of the Yank cars 5.7 V8 managing to keep ahead of the 1 litre mini,s…😊 would be much better racing if the Yanks where removed the entire commentary was on cars I,m disinterested in shame..
I agree, it seems madness that huge V8 powered cars run in the same class as minis. That said it is a lot of fun seeing the minis battling with them in the tighter sections of the track.
Absolutely sick and tired of the Yank slugs being allowed to race at Goodwood or in any other UK historic series. They were never sold or homologated over here. They should be banned from historic racing.
They raced in period, though as with every car in the field they are not to the same spec. Elegability scrutineers can't spend the time required to check every detail. If it rains, as I'm sure you know, the story of a race is very different.
@@gothicpagan.666 I'd bet in those days, these American cars handled like crap. Now they have the best modern custom suspension modifications. I know we cannot have a true level playing field with the Goodwood historic races. They are all out to have fun most importantly.
This is actually how they ran in this era of touring cars. These cars do visit other circuits in the UK at historic race events and some of the tracks like Oulton Park do favour the smaller powered cars over the much more powerful V8 ones.
Reversed-grid races eh?

Really enjoyed it,
Perfect warm up for the Motogp in the evening
Simply superb footage, commentary and action.
Brilliant. Could watch this all day.
This race reminds me of some of the fantastic saloon car races at Crystal Palace 😁
Superb, real motor racing !!!
10x more exiting than F1 😃

Always a pleasure to enjoy these kind of races❤
I miss those older Capri's. Hardly ever see them in the U.S. anymore.
A Capri was my first car in 1987.
Highlands Green, 1.6L.
Such a long time ago. 💚

Love this bring back the minis ❤❤❤
This is amazing!!!! Great to see all tte vintage muscle cars blasting round the track❤
Great race. Great post.
That no.33 Brut Capri is a lovely livery
Great stuff 😊🏁
Awesome race 👏
Love those Capris . That mustang looks amazing. They need to include a Aussie falcon in the mix.
That's really fun !
1:10 CODE BROWN! CODE BROWN!
Those mustangs are gorgeous
1:08 I am laughing so hard at that second place Mini pointing 45 degrees sideways and then just carrying on like nothing happened
Molto bello complimenti
Brilliant.
Always fantastic motor sport racing at Goodwood every time
Not the best ever shape Mustang for my taste, but that thing is a beast!
How come 2 Minis are in a front row? Amazing 1st lap!!!
It was a reverse grid from the previous race
Instant like!
Side by side...🎉🎉
Like the say no replacement for displacement. Thus why I aprove my LS7, 7 liter beast. Sweeeeet :-)
Happily there are so many cars racing experts in youtube, providing so interesting messages (even if they absolutely dont know what they re sayin about) 😂😂😂
Would love to get my xj6 out there any info on race requirements could be very inspiring
These cars look so much nicer that the crap made today

THAT...was a bit of alright , mes amis !

I feel it would’ve been a different story if it had been wet.
It was a sprint race so no refuelling if it was longer race the smaller cars come into there own.
Fully agree. This isn't fair racing at all. The circuit is suited to bigger power cars
I completely agree with you Peter, they definitely should be in a separate race.
But if ya want style and fun, choose anything BUT a Yank tank!
I'd raise a Moggie or TR7 for fun in a race like this hehe
ahahaha the Minis at the start with the Top Gear trio Alfa Romeo strategy of blocking the entire racetrack. hilarious
Gordon’s Spice was my favourite Spice Girl.
I love his aftershave
Aw; poor thing; hope the mini is fixed/straightened and run again
What happened to the E-Type safety car???
That's Revival.
@@GoodwoodRR Thanks, that makes sense!
Mais 2 préférer se battre c est génial la camaro et le mak1 fast bak ❤😊
Please post the other races:)
Most of them are already up!
Son autos muy diferentes..cual es el reglamento?
The restart couldn't have worked out better for the Camaro.
Courir à leur volant doit être un privilège que j aimerait essayer et ne pas faire partir l arrière doit être un défit ❤😊
The lack of Volvo 240 on track saddens me. Seems like a fitting field for it
There was one racing there last year.

And no French, German or Italian cars!
There was a BMW 530i in there.

@UKMechanic I had no idea, thanks for letting me know!
Should have a separate race for the big American muscle cars🤷🇬🇧

That blue Porsche 💙
Nick Swift...the Beast....give him 1000rpms more and another 300cc and he'll beat everyone else in these races,,,,,,Yep....
What happened to Nick Swift 😭
Driveshaft pulled out of a CV joint
where is scirocco?
Don’t understand the miss matched racers…Mini’s and Cameros?
Real car racing - makes F1 look tame
This track suits them but if it was at croft or another more twisty circuit they would of struggled

Britton is good😂😂
The mini was always going to come off worse in a collision with a V8 Rover SD1.
Last year's Spice Gordon was waaaay better.
But what about the Gordon Spice?

way too short. should be 30 min
Mr bean where are you?
Why so many American cars and no French, German or Italian cars?
Safety car is German😉
If you look at other Goodwood races you’ll see BMW’s, Porsches, Alfas, and even a Tatra
J'veux une caisse comme ça
The hugely more powerful US cars win over the field.
Boring.

The yank tanks should have their own race.
Successful Rover of the 70's and 80' s 😂
Successful ?
Really ?
😂😂😂
Just a tad unfair racing 1275cc minis against 5000cc muscle cars but the minis were doing well.
The Minis' lack of weight is only a disadvantage when push comes to shove. Always a giggle to watch Minis mixing it with American iron, especially on tighter courses.
Poor grid, quite silly commentary, tedious V8 domination. Same old same old.
Funny how they have to throw these overblown American slugs in with the smaller engined cars. They wouldn’t even get within two laps of the E-Types and Cobras or GTO’s.

Is that Alice Powell commentating - shes done well for herself
People say yanks don't handle, they obviously do!
They've always competed here, so what's wrong with that?
Fair game against nimble English saloons
_"People say yanks don't handle, they obviously do!"_
With a ton of modifcations they handle OK-ish, but the minis are still all over them on a twisty circuit.
Boring without Mini's challenging up front.
Yeah. The yank muscle cars should be in a class of their own..
I can picture clown heads sticking out of the roofs of all those minis.
1.20 Rover at fault and should pay
🇺🇦

Agreed, I'd much rather see the minis up against Imps, Cortinas etc.
I really don't like those great big Yenghi land yachts, spoiling the racing by proper cars.
Mini vs Mini ✅ fair race not with muscle car ❌

Different class,
Watch the Revival meeting in September,
Or check out last year's event,
Would be slightly weird to see a 250 LM race in a Group 1 touring car race...
People who drive minis are like a small dogs,annoying
People who drive yank tanks are ignorant, fat and disgusting. There, I can do pointless generalisations too, does that help?
