Unreal overtaking in a Jaguar Mk1 at Goodwood

- Normally at Goodwood this rather special Mk1 Jaguar would be sliding all over the place in the most outrageous way... not here though. For the 2004 edition of St Mary's Trophy Part 2 Grant Williams held this awesome Jag relatively steady as he plowed through the opposition including one Rowan Atkinson!

Y'all need to check out SpeedWeek: www.goodwood.com/grr/event-coverage/goodwood-speedweek/2020/7/what-is-goodwood-speedweek/
“Y’all”? Seriously? Are you from Birmingham, England, or Birmingham, Alabama?
As a 10-year-old boy growing up in a small town in Ontario, Canada, I wondered why my Dad's Jaguar Mk 2 got so much attention. Probably because it was the only Jag within 100 miles. My Dad never drove fast with me on board except for one time, on the twisty river road en route to our summer cottage. This enormous Mercury sedan planted itself on our rear bumper and tailgated us mercilessly -- the driver wanted to race. After a minute or so my Dad said, "To hell with this!" and downshifted. The following couple of minutes were sheer exhilaration as the Mercury dropped out of sight and that compact Jaguar sedan glided through the corners, never crossing the centerline, like the thoroughbred it was. I'm retired now and have owned four Jaguars.
Jaguar Mk 2 is smaller than a Mercury sedan for sure but I'm not sure the word 'compact' springs to mind about the MK2.
@@Insolation1 American compact cars are well... not.
@@Insolation1 I was just thinking that, they’re big buggers 😂
I’m sorry for replying to a really old post, but I’m considering buying a Jaguar Mk 2. Are they decently reliable cars??
@@paulhindenburg1460 yes
Whoever Grant Williams is, he's a legend in my book. Epic battles
i know this is 2 years later, but he just did a great interview on the driven chat podcast, I highly recommend it
Jag MK1 & MKII were highly underrated as performance cars in the US. I raced a MKII in the '60s both at the drag strip & autocrosses. I gave up the drag racing as it got boring, winning every week. They pitted me against a Shelby GT500 in an autocross. Only lost by a couple of tenths.
BTW, I finally traded the old girl for a Corvette to go racing in SCCA.
How on Earth did that A35 stay in front?!! That jag was dancing through those corners 👌🏻
Looked like grant was waiting to take the inside of the exit of the corner and got blocked by a backmarker.
Thanks for spoiling the finish.
Michael Rigdon why read the comments before watching the footage 💁🏻♂️
Benjamin Cottle I didn’t. It was below the thumbnail when I clicked on it. NBD. Hope you have a nice weekend. Stay safe
Michael Rigdon ah, my apologies then.... likewise Michael, thank you
Absolutely LOVE this racing...all those wonderful Jags, and an A35 wins!!!
Nice video, good camera work and placement, and an announcer who is totally excited about what's happening. THIS is real racing!
What a brilliant drive!
He was only able to pass Mr. Bean because he wasn't driving from the roof.
😅
Goodwood > Modern F1
Correct
Amen
Great driving from the a35, but almost feel sorry for grant in the jag. He deserved to win that day, if only for his beautifully entertaining driving
Well done that A35!
Those A35s were very competitive back in the day
Bravo les Britanniques pour organiser de telles courses!
The ideal villans car if you'd ask me, so gorgeous.
Hope the driver of the Jag said to Ray Davies "you really got me" after that tussle, great racing
Showing your age...
Magnificent essay in car control. Big heavy cars on narrow tires put on quite a show. Great fun.
Fantastic!!!! love the A35's
That was a very cool battle! Love vintage racing. More please.
A Grant Williams master class on how to race a late 50's compact Jag saloon!
That's some goddamned great driving.
Mark I & Mark II Jaguars most beautiful sedans the firm ever made, maybe that any firm ever made.
It doesn't get any better than this .
Absolute skills! forget modern cars, it takes real skill to race one of these beasts. Being able to slide/control/brake/slide/exit is something that most modern race drivers could not do in one of these cars. Real skill.
This category is by far my favourite one to watch. I just love watching them late spec and the hang the tail or four wheel drift. Absolutely magic stuff.
The A-Series engine is very highly developed. In a lightweight car, it offers an excellent power-to-weight ratio.
How to make an A35 as wide as the track! Awesome drive
Great driving..fantastic cars...
Hahaha A35
Had one once
Didn't think I would see the day one would take a checkered flag unless there was a whole field of A35s
Also remembering the Great Peter Brock's A35 . Not standard.
Well done you guys for keeping the old gear going and racing 👍😎
Peter Brock's Diamond Valley Speed Shop "A30" (we got the A30 in Australia, not the A35) was a "silhouette racer" - being a spaceframe powered by a big-horsepower Holden 179 cu in straight six. With the short wheelbase and ultra low weight, only Peter Perfect's preternatural skills could "keep it on the island". Vale Peter who died a few days after the long-haul flight back to Australia after racing an "FX" at Goodwood Revival over a hectic weekend.
Now , how often did you see an A35 beat a Jaaaaaag on the A1 ?
That is awesome that is freaking awesome I would love to do that! Those cars are meant to be driven and driven hard they were the performance cars of their day and they should be raced I think it's awesome if I could afford one I'd get one my hat's off to the driver he's working that thing I bet he was wore out when that race was over too LOL
I hard to do a google search on Alvis. That number 4 car in the beginning is a beauty! Its like a miniture gothic car.
BUY 1 is or was a John Coombs car.. i lived a stones throw from their garage in Guildford, Surrey. I owned a Coombs MK 2 in Carmen red. Long gone, well missed.
Love the diversity in these old time proper races.
You want to race a two ton tank or a washing machine on overdrive; no problem.
That cars are arte
looks like a wider matk two rear axle ? i remember on mark ones in the sixties and the mark one had a shorter width axle with spats held on with turn buttons? better wheel base for cornering .
MAN THOSE JAGS ARE SO COOL !
Love this stuff.
Jolly proper car racing when cars were men and men were cars. Get out of my way A35. Love it. And little red A35 beats the Jaguar!
Having got a ride with Grant at Goodwood my suspicion of welded rear axle was confirmed
Simply wonderful stuff!
That guy can drive !!
Plate says "BUY 1", I wish I could mate, I really do.
The best racing on the planet along side F1
I'd rather watch this, (and single-model racing) than F1. Nothing better than watching these old and expensive cars live their best lives.
@@Orion40000 I absolutely agree with you.
That’s real car racing at its best :)
Fabulous driving and race
The Jag did great, but at the end I was pulling for the little red pipsqueak to hold on.😊
Just fabulous stuff !..
How does that A35 out-perform a rapid, brilliantly driven Jag?
Power to weight ratio and superior handling....
Now there's a someone who knows how to drive
Grand Revield that they only did that "pitstop" so that the race will be more interesting. It has definitely worked :D
fantastic
Put these cars to race seems more indecent than watching a softporn with a beautiful young lady from the past who was "strangely" recorded with HD cameras. Maybe that's why I like it.
That sideways @ 0:49👌👌
So what is under the bonnet of the little A35?
Huh. .that crappy A35 thing was pulling away from the jag in a straight line. .
Jeez what's it got under the bonnet?
Merveilleux ! Gerard de nice. France.
How can some of these cars be SO FAST when during their heyday they wouldn’t/couldn’t go near that fast - unless Jim Clark was at the wheel.
I built & raced highly modified 3.4 Jag's in the 70's & there isn't that much performance available in a stock configuration engine.
The Mark 1 & 2 Jaguars were THE best saloon car racers, until the Ford Mustang turned up, in the mid '60's.
quality of tyres today helps
They've learnt so much over the intervening years, tuning is a black art now obviously!
I'm wondering what engine and hp that A35 has!
Great stuff. Simon Taylor, was that you?
When are you coming back to Phillip Island?
Can anyone imagine watching races with vintage EVs in about 60 years' time?
Great cure for insomnia! Don't fall for "zero emission" EVs - most are powered by brown coal or nuclear reactors
Grant Williams aka big balls.
Amazing driver skills!....driving a boat!..... :)
I would not be surprised if the A35 had a HOT ie Cooper or Cooper S engine. ( yes i know you can not make a FWD Mini rear drive, well not easily anyway ).
The A series engine came out in the A30 later in the Morris Minor is the same in the cooper s as in 1275 MG Miget just different crankshaft flange at the clutch. I expect they use Morris Major diffs as A30 axles were weak
It's a heavy machinery
How many "borrowed" paintings in the boot?
I need an explanation of how a 1700 pound car that has an engine with a stock hp rating of 78hp could possibly outrun that Jaguar. Even if somehow an engine with only THREE main bearings could make 140 hp reliably which would be nearly DOUBLE the factory stock high performance horsepower rating I still cannot see it overpowering that Jaguar that should have around 315 hp or so......maybe a bit more either way easily more than DOUBLE the horsepower a 77 cubic inch high performance A+ A35 engine could make with racing modifications.
He even passed Johnny English.
what are those silver car at the beginning number 4 on door with reg (PUE 765?) Amazing bank robber car that mk2 jag
Alvis grey lady
Tatra 603 at 2:10!
Are these cars period modified or do they have modern amenities (performance wise)? Great and pleasant racing regardless :D
The cars run to FIA Appendix K regulations.
Greaaaat !!
Ivan Dutton in the Alvis....still firing on all four....watch SHED RACING if you like proper engineering.
Krass wie schnell der Austin A35 ist.
Mk 2 ?
Is that the Rowan Atkinson of Mr. Bean?
Drive them
It was a jaguar hunting a rabbit!
Amazing!!!
Mr. Bean should have been driving a Mini 😆😆
im hearing rowan atkinson, is he really in the race ?? lmfao.
Yes, Rowan regularly races at Goodwood.
@@GoodwoodRR Im amazed 🤯. I had no idea he races regularly. Thank you for confirming that 🤗
Mr Bean is quicker than you would think!
He's actually quite good.
@@KevinLee-ri9ko i had no idea 🤯
@@dancinglizard3080 He crashed his McLaren a few years ago club racing...
A few Million Pounds worth of damage if memory serves.
Cannonball of England style?
Posessed.
Great racing. Ivan Dutton started a very interesting YT channel: Ivan's Shed, which is worth checking out. He is a fantastic engineer.
That's Doc hudson hornet in his prime
Better than boring f1 all day long
Better than f1
An A35 on steroids.
is it just me or would you be terrified to damage these old masters ???
It is a Mark II, not a Mark I.
Definitely a Mark I. Mark II had a taller greenhouse. Compare rear window size on both. Similar to difference between A30 and A35.
Isn't this the Jag fitted with Chevy 396 V8? How comes couldn't pass an An A 35?????? Is it rigged
Not easy passing peanuts!
Tatra at 2:11
BTW..it is a MK 2.
