Thanks for uploading this. It reminds me of the historic meetings at Crystal Palace in the late 60s and early 70s. The sound of 2 or 3 supercharged ERA's screaming alongside each other around the corners with one rear wheel smoking like Dot Cotton was something I'll never forget :-)
It's really astonishing how much fun can be had out of the small quick cars with well tuned small displacement engines. There are some superchargers in the mix, helps with the audio variety. Beats NASCAR and F1 for entertainment, since both aforementioned platforms are like a package of Ore cookies, all the same and enforced conformity. These cars vary in a lot more than paint jobs and they all have their own charm and "carisma"!!
Wonderful...to see. Wonderful to hear.. Great day for all The nostalgia for these classics is far more appealing than the modern ones. (my humble opinion🤔) Although don't get me wrong..some of the modern stuff is great...just too much 'tech'..
What joy....noise ..superchargers ...single seaters ...v twins ...fabulous.. Maximum Respect ....these things must be a real handful Even over that short distance ,, would love to try it!.. Those Type 35B ? Bugattis keep up time at Goodwood Time trials with much newer machinery...he was a Genius ... Check out the Vids on RUclips ...Mighty impressive for their time. 200 Kid .
It's for the steering. It is there in order for the contact patch of the tire to line up with the steering kingpin, to lighten the steering. No power steering at the time. Plus, it gives some understeer to counteract the tendency of live rear axle cars for oversteer.
@@jcgabriel1569 Cool - I guess later we learned to angle the kingpin or steer axis outward to intersect the contact patch and minimize the scrub radius.
@@mccanlessdesign on other cars, like 1930s Alfa Romeo and Maserati, they angled the steering kingpin as well. That way, they won't have to put on a lot of positive camber. But they still had to retain positive camber because of the narrow tires, and, the aforementioned inherent oversteer because of the live rear axle.
@@mccanlessdesign I was just like you a few years ago... Just dig into the internet for books and other resources, and you'll be able to understand, and even appreciate, how and why they did things back then...
Hi Duglet. Looks like the fastest Austin 7 was William Way, Car 19 (Austin 7 Ulster) at 49.77secs on his 2nd event run. I didn't get any footage but it would be worthy of inclusion. All the results can be found at resultsman.co.uk/LiveTiming/EventViewer.php?DB=Resultsman

Those inline 8 cylinders really sounded great , so " round " and smooth ! ❤

Wonderful to see! Thanks for sharing! My favorite are the Morgans!
Back when cars had lines. All were beautiful. The Alta was gorgeous. And I couldn't believe the Bugatti.
Sssssßsssssssssssssssssssß
I went a couple of years ago was a great day out and the Bugatti Musium at the bottom of the hill was very interesting and worth a visit in itself.
Man that looks like SO much fun! Thanks for sharing!
Those are the BEST!
These are the coolest of race cars!
Great to watch …thanks for sharing 👏🏻👏🏻
Wonderful...to see.
Wonderful to hear..
Great day for all

Good video pal really enjoyed watching it I'd love to see and smell these in the flesh one
Good editing, straight to the action
Even for their age, these cars still sound like beasts, and look to be a true drivers car, not power assisted anything.
Beautiful cars!
Thanks for posting.
Fantastic !!!!!
Very brave drivers!
Tire smoke and snortin engines, beautiful. Everything new is old again.

More fun than F1 😃
Why the positive camber? Something with skinny tires and a straight axle and lots of body roll?

I think this looks like Shelsey Walsh not Prescott I however loved it well done
Prescott..
No Austin 7s ?
I'm sure I can smell Castrol R and methanol just by watching this.
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .
Lovely -
fully custom?. just for event?
They are generally racing cars from before WW2
@@chrismontgomery1223 wow... not even joking. sorry to doubted all cars in video. since look rather customizing. thanks for info.
Do you know what the fastest Austin seven there was

The ones with JAPs in them!
ERA RC12 sounds just like a Goldwing
No, a gold wing sounds like an ERA RC12.....lol
I'm shocked by the lack of safety features 😨
Not sure what you are expecting given that most of the cars are from the 1930's
@@chrismontgomery1223 Well, not much. Maybe a bucket seat with racing harness, a roll cage, airbags, traction control, ABS, ... 😎
THAT is the way the cars were. Even then most a re a bit better. The track however is a good deal safer than decades ago.
The best safety feature is always there; it's called "do not do anything silly..."
Triggers Broom at it's finnest
Do we think electric cars would have the same appeal
No f*** way !!!!!
My thoughts EXCACTLY
