Here in Australia there are companies like Rare Spares that do nothing else but make modern retro spare parts, if you get my meaning, to keep classic cars like these running. It's a whole cottage industry these days. Engines may be of varying levels of originality; Dick Johnson's 1984 Falcon, for example, is a time capsule that has never been touched since the day it finished its last race - even the oil stains are authentic. For a lot of cars, though, they're only "the car" in the sense that it's the original bodyshell and they've been re-created to some specific era or race. Some might even be replicas. 3:57 Looks like the Ferrari Breadvan. 6:45 is an Arrows A10, an F1 car from 1987. Engine was the BMW turbo that famously produced so much power the dyno couldn't measure it, rebuilt for the team by Megatron. Unfortunatey by 1987 pop-off valves had arrived, so the engine's only real advantage was gone. 7:54 is a Tyrrell 012, another F1 car from 1983. Stuck with a Cosworth V8, just about the only non-turbo engine on the grid by that point, they tried to make the car super-light to compete. They got caught cheating in 1984, but that's a long and rather sordid story. 8:20 Looks like an Aussie S5000 car, a modern reboot of classic Formula 5000 from the 1970s, powered by a 5-litre Ford Coyote V8. Good cars, fun to watch, they usually pair up with TCR events here in Straya. Might be wrong though, it could be a Formula 2 car or something. 8:58 is an Embassy Hill, a mid-1970s F1 car from the great Graham Hill's own team. It does sound awesome, Cosworth DFVs always do! 10:44 Looks like a Maserati 4CLT, the F1 ride of choice for the amateur enthusiast in the early 1950s. 11:05 Is some sort of Indy roadster, early 1960s. 11:38 Is an Alfa Romeo 155 touring car from what looks like the 1995 BTCC. 12:55 Is another BTCC car, a Renault Laguna from the late 90's. 13:04 Is a Rover SD1 from around 1984. 14:20 Is a Lotus 77, I think, from 1976 - just before the team brought in ground effects and changed the game forever. 14:44 Ah yes, the famous Tyrrell P34 from 1976 and '77. The idea was to remove the drag of big front wheels rotating in the airflow, then make up for the lost front-end grip by having more wheels. It worked to a degree, as the lost drag was calculated to be worth an extra 40hp from their DFV engine, and they won a race (the '76 Swedish GP at Anderstorp, if memory serves). But performance fell off as Goodyear stopped bothering to develop the special front tyres, and eventually they just gave up and went back to a normal layout. 15:14 Lotus 49 from 1968. The first F1 car to carry commercial sponsorship. Jim Clark died early in the year so Graham Hill carried the team, ultimately winning the championship at the final round (I told you a DFV always sounds amazing!).
@@dylanzrim3635 No, sorry, it's a Ford crate V8 these days. Back in the 1970s the Repco V8 was a popular choice for Formula 5000, and that was based on the Holden V8, but that was about 15 years before Formula Holden was thought of.
Fun fact: the track is a driveway. No exaggeration, it's Lord March's driveway. He hosts the whole festival in his front yard. Rad dude, right? :D You can see his house just after turn 2.
The Old car at about 4:10 minutes in is the 1910 FIAT S76, ‘The Beast of Turin’. A four cylinder, 28.3 litre, (1730 cubic inch), monster capable of 132mph.
3:26 The new Aston Martin Valkyrie, it has a 6.5L V12 built by Cosworth 8:06 this is a Praga R1, it’s what sim-racing youtuber Jimmy Broadbent now races 9:02 this is a new Le Mans Hypercar the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG) 007. It’s made by an American team based in Sleepy Hollow, New York though these racing cars will be built by in Italy by Dallara. They also make road car versions of their race cars. 13:16 correct it is a McLaren, a McLaren 720 GTX to be exact. It’s basically a GT3 race car that they’ve modified to be even faster 13:30 another SCG, this one is a road car, the 004S. Comes with 3 choices of engine. A GM 5.0L LT4 twin turbo V8, a GM 6.2L Supercharged LT5 V8 or a Nissan 3.8L twin turbo VR38DETT V6. No electric powertrain available 15:50 this is a development car, it’s being used to develop hydrogen powered cars for racing, the chassis is a modified LMP3. The project is called ‘Mission H24’ and they hope to race a hydrogen powered car in the Le Mans 24 hour in 2024. They also have another car newer than this that uses an LMP2 chassis.
@@lowrangemaniac5326 there wouldn't be to many of them that aren't original then they go back on display in a Museum or a climate controlled garage so they stay in pristine condition
@@whyjnot420 I know that my question was stupid... It's because I thought that some cars could be replicas of the original ones, instead of original old cars that was restored with new pieces
@@goannaj3243 Yep! I know I'm late to the party but that is it's name. Two were built to beat the World land speed record. It achieved it at 110 MPH! It did manage 137 MPH but couldn't do the return trip to make it an official World Land Speed record.
Then some Alfa Romeo like the tz2 codatronca (something like “cutted-tail” the literal translation) but that fiat, also called Mefistofele, was crazy for those times! I love that somebody else knows about this!!
8:48 is the easiest one of the lot, the most distinctive helmet in F1, 1996 F1 World Champion Damon Hill driving one of his late father Graham's Embassy-Hill cars from the early 1970s.
Gold and blue car was a Praga. Orange car was a rover SD1, the Alfa and Renault were BTCC cars from the 90s. The 6 wheel F1 car was a Tyrrell P34 which was banned. Short squat car was a Hillman Imp. The small batmobile was the McMurtry fan car. A lot of cars are original however overhaulled engine, gearboxes and brakes but to original spec. (As a lot continue to race in certain series) You wanna watch the hillclimb competition from Sunday 2022...the winner was a McMurtry electric fan car and was mental! Also check out the Goodwood revival seeing these cars race side by side!
The car that lost the wheel at 4:17, AKU 991 is a 1935 Aston Martin Ulster. 1.5 litre sports car made before tractor manufacturer David Brown rescued the company after WW2. Where the DB models came from.
You're enthusiasm about car's is infectious, you are re-ignighting life into me, and making me want to watch more old rally programs like the circuit of Ireland.
16:29 was a Hillman Imp. Think Corvair that shrunk in the wash. Engine at the back too. The difference is Imps really handled well and the engine was very advanced for the early 60s Alloy block & head, OHC, steel crank and good for 7000rpm which was just as well with only 875cc to play with. A full race one taken out to 998cc might make 110 bhp or more at 9000rpm
In 2011 Indianapolis speedway sent some of its original 100 year old bricks to Lord March and they now are a permanent marker for the start line of The Festival of speed.
14:49 This is the Tyrrell P34 F1 Car from 1976. The Tyrrell P34 F1 car had six wheels primarily to improve aerodynamic efficiency and increase grip. By using smaller front wheels, it reduced drag and improved airflow to the rear wing. Additionally, the four front wheels increased the contact patch with the track, providing more traction and better cornering grip. However, the design proved to be complex and difficult to optimize, leading to its eventual abandonment in favor of traditional four-wheel setups.
14:40 i an old prototype of an F1 to make the max traction in the torns Exist even a prototype that have 4 wheels in the back for max power on the ground
The corvette at 15:22 is a special corvette made by arrows if i'm correct for Sam Schmidt a quadriplegic. (He crashed in januari 2000 testing for the next indy car season) he steers with his eyes and use the brakes and gas with pipes he blows in (I heard the commentators talk about it during the live stream)
The very old tall skinny fire-breathing open wheel race car near the beginning is a FIAT S76 racer from 1911. Nicknamed the "Beast of Turin", it has a 28.4 liter 4 cylinder engine. It was lovingly restored over many years and began 'racing' in vintage events a few years ago. And you thought FIAT only built tiny engined cars. :) You asked about rebuilding old race cars to new. Formula, prototype, NASCAR, and Indy cars, like AA fuel and Funny Car dragsters, are rebuilt entirely after each race. Vintage race cars are generally rebuilt after a season of racing, unless they require attention more often. Most classes of serious racers must meet safety requirements; fuel cells, roll bars, racing harnesses, etc. Some old vintage race car classes do not require safety ungrades and may run as built in days of yore.
At 10:35 ish That is a Cheetah, they were built by Bill Thomas. The engines ranged from 327 small block Chevys, to 427 BBC/ dual quads. The Driver/Pilot sat over the rear axle.
3:26 the Angry green car is an Aston Martin The tall old red car is Fiat’s “Beast of Turin” S76 300HP The culprit is a four-cylinder engine that has a displacement of 28.5-liters, (1739.17 cubic inches)which developed around 300 HP, at just 1.900 rpm. 6:15 Rover SD1 9:20 MK 2 Lotus Cortina 10:50 ERA 14:15 F1 John Player Special J.P.S. Lotus 72D 14:30 1976 F1 Tyrell P34 6 wheeler 15:36{the little thing} Aussie racing car series (basically a Go kart with a scaled down saloon body)www.google.com/url?q=en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aussie_Racing_Cars&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjWoq_H4MD3AhVCgOYKHTRXCUIQFnoECAEQAg&usg=AOvVaw3VrQh1R0BgUdlLZm7X7ZJe 16:15 Hillman imp
That 15:36 is the McMurtry Speirling, British electric hypercar with fans creating vacuum under the car, just like Chaparral 2j in 1970s. It's extremely fast at corners and accelerates from 0-60 mph in 1.4s.
14:35 It was a real F1 car actualy. They had regulated the wingspann for the frontwing, (thats why you see all those F1 carrs with those tiny frontwheels from this Era) and your wheels had to fit inside this wideness, they did get smaler and smaler wheels, and didnt had that much downforce anymore. Untill someone came up with this solution 🤣
The Goodwood events are great. Goodwood also provide a huge amount of coverage where they explain more about the cars running and the times they set against each other. Always learning something new from the coverage. Earliest this year may be the 1903 Mercedes race car being pushed hard. So near 120 years old. Duke of Richmond's driveway. Wikipedia has some of the amazing story of the Duke or Lord March.
I had quite a few of these older, classic cars. Including the 6 wheeler. Yep. I owned every one of them. Of course, I was a kid, and they were scalextric (slot cars), haha!
Having been to the show about 10 times I can say that about 95% of these classics are fully original and preserved specifically for these events. However a very select few have had newer parts fitted
The final Jaguar F-Pace was bee driven by Terry Grant. He's a master of car stuntwork. He actually drove the entire length of the hill climb on 2 wheels in a Range Rover
The car starting at 9:18 Are a 69-70 Ford Cortina. Mk2. They basically had the same engines as the Ford Escorts. Mk1-Mk2. So they were easy to tune. And get great amount of effect from.
@@IWrocker Yeah, I've been watching the streams here and there. Kudos to the owners of the more expensive and rare cars who are willing to thrash them around for our enjoyment. It's on my bucket list, just edging out route 66 on an Indian, and just behind watching Scott McLaughlin win at Indianapolis.
If you guys are in to classic car racing too, they have another event at Goodwood called the Revival. They group cars into categories and go racing around the track there. Think 1950's F1, 1970's saloon car racing, old bikes, minis, le mans cars, etc. Everyone dresses up in period too, so it's like stepping back in time
Hey there, @IWrocker, About the 6 wheel, 6x2 F1 specimen on timestamp: 14:34 - 14:51 - this is a true F1 car, before the limitations of FIA. An excellent Turbo Era specimen. The 4 smaller wheels in the front provide better stability of the front end, by spreading the forces between 4 wheels instead of two, allows the front to take more aggressive driving without losing its balance. Cheers dude.
That tiny black batmobile is a McMurtry electric fan car. At standstill, it creates 2000 lbs of downforce, just with the fan. 1000 kg of weight, 1000 horsepower. This year it broke the Goodwood hillclimb record, it's the fastest thing they've ever had there.
Car at 9:17 is the British Ford Lotus Cortina mk 2 from 1966 to 1970. Double overhead cam Lotus head used so still fast today. In Australia the more basic earlier GT and GT 500 Cortinas with pushrod engines won the first three Bathurst 500 events in 1963 64 and 65. Australian built first race specials Beating V8 Studebaker and Dodge Phoenix cars with crap brakes and high fuel consumption needing many pit stops. Even the EH Holden six cylinder cars lost out to the Ford Cortinas. Took the bigger engined Morris mini Cooper S to beat them in 1966 once the race special GT500 big fuel tank race special Cortinas were banned and the minis had their problems sorted out. The Cooper S then took the first nine places in 1966. The small blue car was the later Clubman version of the Mini. Nothing to do with the recent BMW mini, just using a highly regarded name.
Great video! Loved your comments and enthusiasm. I've been to this event every year for 25 years. You have to go one day. Meeting the mechanics that spannered the cars when they competed is great with all their stories. I've met so many of my hero drivers over the years too and many of the cars that appear you will never see anywhere else. Keep up the good work!
But all unofficial but helped Bill Thomas build them to a limited extent. Even the Chevrolet Corvette was not Given Chevrolet official racing sponsorship due to the GM ban on racing in the era
10:26 - 10:42 That's a Chevy Cheetah. It was an American sports car designed and engineered entirely with American components, and built between 1963 and 1966 by Chevy performance tuner, Bill Thomas. It was designed to be Cobra killer, but the rules have changed, and the Cheetah never raced again. Under the hood, is a 327 cu in Small-Block V8 engine from the C2 Corvette.
At 13:00 , yes a Rover. Made lots of sedans for mainly right hand drive markets. The big success for left hand drive markets was the Range Rover and Land Rovers. Likely the first SUV that now infest our roads pressuring cars out of existence.
If you have any interest in motorsport history then the Goodwood Festival Of Speed is a must. The range of cars (and drivers) is amazing, and you can wander round the paddock and get really close to the cars. OK, they don't all race up the hill, some just demo, but they're still great to see. What you didn't see in this video is the flint wall, a massive wall the cars have to shimmie round at full speed partway up the hill! Check out also the Goodwood Revival meeting where the historics race around the Goodwood circuit rather than going up the hill.
8:49 - F5000 from the early seventies - probably a Lola Chev T300/330 9:19 - Ford Lotus Cortina (1966?) with 1600cc Lotus Twin Cam engine. 14:25 - Tyrrell F1 car from 1976
Goodwood is an amazing festival, been a couple times. You're right that this is just a slither of the attractions, they have all kinds of stuff going on. There's even a rally section where you can go and watch all eras of rally cars powering through a mini rally route. Then you can go into the paddocks and watch them working on any car you can imagine.
4:45 Notice how the wheels are mounted. There are no screws attaching the rim to the hub, as there are now. These are centrally bolted wheels with one large central nut in the middle of the rim. You can see a small propeller in the middle of each wheel. This is the wheel bolt. It just needs to come loose and the wheel falls off. This was once the technology for mounting rims.
I had the black Lotus with John Player Special livery as a scale model when I was very young. The Tyrell with the 4 front wheels makes perfect sense if you read why it was made like this. It helps cornering a lot because you can modify the steering angles .
All of these are either ex race cars, prototype cars etc. They have a rolling car show and a lot of manufacturers have world premiere here on the Goodwood House Driveway. I live 20miles from Goodwood, need to get there next year! The Goodwood Revival is another one to check out!
I love watching BTCC. They race hard! Reminds me of the 2.0L touring car era we had in Oz. The variety is awsome, which we are definitely lacking in Supercars.
4:04 Fiat 4cyl 300HP. 4 cylinders inline (4R) huge engine 30 litres 300 HP from year 1911. Each of those 4 cyl is big like hole modern american V8 engine 11:35 Alfa Romeo 155 from 90`s. 2.5 liter V6 300HP European Touring Cars Championchip 12:43 Renault Laguna ETCC from the 90`s 13:00 Rover SD1 / 800 14:26 Renault P34 (6 weeler) made by TYRELL an old Formula 1 champion team in late 70`a and early 80`s 16:06 Jaguar E-Type 16:24 SImca ( French car maker, non existing anymore)
The cars - and often engines - are usually original and just incredibly well-kept. Goodwood FOS hosts the hillclimb track (which is the organizers literal private driveway) and it also hosts tons of classic racing events, e.g. the Members' Meeting, at the dedicated Goodwood Circuit (A track from the 50s I believe, that hasn't ever really seen any modifications besides a chicane being added & is still FIA Grade 3 certified for those events, but hosted F1 back in the day). The Goodwood track is also still used for testing sessions sometimes. It sadly is the place where Bruce McLaren, founder of McLaren, died in a crash, as he was testing a Can Am car that went on to win the championship. The rear bodywork came lose and he had a sudden loss of downforce at high speeds on the back straight and swerved into a marshal's bunker just before the final corner. Good wood circuit, like Silverstone, is a WW2 airfield's outer road. It's basically mor like classic silverstone before and infields or new sections were added: A narrow, high-speed circuit with little runoff areas and hard to navigate turns... Or more so, unbanked kinks. The "WTF was that" car was a McMurtry Speirling (irish boutique hyper/racing car manufacturer) - this exact thing has the record for the Goodwood Hillclimb. It uses a rear exhaust fan and venturi tunnels.to suck itself to the ground and creat upwards of 2.5 metric tons of downforce in standstill. It's also all-electric, so it has basically instant torque off the line.
At 9:35 that is the American Bill Thomas Cheetah race car. Chevrolet 327 engine but a primitive mid sixties US design of suspension meant it made more noise than race actual race wins. Beaten by Cobras, Corvettes and most other racing sports cars of the time. Described as evil handling mostly.
It is a Cheetah, but the rest of the comments was a bit unfair. Yes very tricky handling (primitive individual rear suspension, and not the most rigid chassi, but no, it wasnt simply beaten by Cobras and Vettes of the time. Problem was, it was made in so small numbers so it ended up in the "prototype" class where it stood no chance really. And Chevy wasn't really that much in to racing during that period. ... and then the factory burned down.... (It also had a stroked engine, so 377 rather than 327 as I recall)
8:04 This is the Praga R1 EVO, it's from the Czech Republic and they also make civilian cars like the Praga R1R and Praga Bohema. 15:35 This is the Mcmurtry Speirling from the Great Britain.
15:38 is the McMurtry Spéirling, the jet like noise are fans that suck the car to the track for traction, this leaves the drive free to put all the power down and not waste with drag of aero, making it the fastest car on the hill climb event (2022), 39.08 seconds, 0-60mph time of around 1.5 seconds
I've actually worked some of these shows. The event is 4 odd days long!! A lot of retired drivers take part in FOS races (and revival races), loads of rare supercars are showcased as well (though not all of them are driven). most of the classic cars ARE originals as far as possible, many are from people's personal collections (often old team managers or retired racers own a number of vintage origanls - you see more of them at Goodwoods Revival festival), it means a lot of them play up on the start line because they aren't good at idling and end up overheating ( you can see it in the back of the shots how many white overalls are running around)
Check out the "Nürburgring 24h", it's an infamous endurance-race on the Nürburgring and the attached famous "Nordschleife". 24h with everything from (barely) converted roadcars to GT3 race cars, GIANT starting field, and a ton of mixed weather.
3:00 Porsch3 962. The car that dominated Le Mans in the 1980s. 3:53 Ferrari 250 Breadvan, the only one built and still raced flat out, dont ask how much its worth! 4:05 Fiat S76 'The Beast of Turin' Land speed record car from 1910. The engine is only 28.4 litres of straight 4, the cars road legal and driven on the road often. 4:22 Aston Martin Ulster - Le mans car from the 1930s. Dont ask how much its worth. 5:50 Yes you are correct its a BMW M1 Pro Car. 6:20 - Jaguar XJR-12 le Mans group C legend. 7:32 - Ford Mustang Mach E. 7:50 Ford Sierra Cosworth. 8:25 - I think thats a F2 car. 8:45 Yes thats active aero. 9:28 - Lotus Cortina in Alan Mann Racing colours. 10:08 - Yes the engines are rebuilt and often the whole car is. Its alot of money. 10:31 - Cheetah Sports car. V8 in a car that weighs nothing. 11:08 - Thats an indy car from the 50s. 11:25 - Technically its a European Nascar. 11:44 - Early 90's Alfa Romeo 155. Raced in the British Touring Car Championship. 12:25 - Yes thats a mini. 12:55 1990;s Renault Touring Car. 13:10 - Its a Rover. 14:10 - Its a JPS Lotus F1 car. 14:37 - Tyrell P34. The only 6 wheel F1 car to race. Williams, Ferrari and March where working on them but they never raced.The Tyrell was the only one with the 4 wheels at the front. 15:20 -Lotus F1 with with the legendard Ford DFV engine in it. I believe it still stands as the most sucsesfull F1 engine ever. 15:39 - Mcmurthy Fan car. Currently holds the reconrd up this hill climb. 16:05 - No its running on hyrodgen. 17:28 - Just search of Terry Grant Stunts. The guy is a legend and holds 17 guiness world records for driving.
Hi there. Glad you're liking the cars there. I'll go through with you some of the cars in the early part of you video. The first car is I think a Pikes Peak Fiesta with around the upper hundreds horsepower, the fiesta after that is a World Rally Championship model, the Mercedes you saw is indeed a C9, a Championship winning car of the late 80s to early 90s. There were two of them, one driven by Jochen Mass and the other was driven by Mauro Baldi. The green car you saw with the yellow stripes is a track only Aston Martin Valkyrie. The Renault is a 90s British Touring Car and yes that was Rover SDi with 3.5litre V8. I'm writing this as your watching so I didn't get all the cars.
The 6 wheel formula 1 car was a Tyrrell P34, when they first came into the formula 1 race series nothing could beat it on the track, any track because of it's stability around corners & ability to accelerate out of corners where other cars had to wait to straighten up before accelerating.
Wikipedia search confirms it was beaten in all but one race it entered. Best result was a team 1,2 in the 1976 Swedish GP So not quite unbeatable but very interesting.
3:00 is a Porsche 956 Group C Le Mans racer. The Saubar-Mercedes C9 is awesome. Was recently awarded in Forza Motorsport 7 for a time trial (online) and I actually got it :) 3:50 That is the Ferrari 250 GTO "Breadvan" - only one exists. 5:40 It is. Gorgeous racing machine. It was designed by Bertone who had just finished the Countach. 7:35 That is the Ford Mustang Mach E. Most people despise it for not being a proper Mustang. I just call it Mach-E. 11:38 That is the Alfa Romeo 155 for the BTCC. That Renault Laguna (12:50) is its competitor along with the Volvo 850 estate race car. Both of these cars are mid-to-late 90s actually. 13:00 That must be a Rover SD1 race car. Didn't even know they made a race car of that.
The red and gold saloon car (sedan in american lol) was an Alan Mann racing ford cortina Lotus, had a 1600cc twin cam engine The mini wasnt a cooper It had the clubman front end on it so it was a 1275 GT from the mid to late `70s The tiny angry sounding car was a hillman imp, rear engined rwd. I have been to the festival a few times, you can literally see everything from new models to cars from the early 1900's. There have also been some of the Landspeed record cars there too (Thrust2 and Thrust SSC). BTW the red FIAT that was spitting flames at the start held the land speed record at 132MPH in 1910
Ur right it was a Rover! Well done. That was my 1st car 🚗 v8 3.5 that was Touring car trim. Goodwood goes on for a main week end but I think it's a week long thing, not 100% on that but it's a must!! You'd love there's a bit over everything on that little car b4 da Camaro was a Hillman Imp, one of the only car made buy a Scottish company! B4 number 9 I think the number was on the Camero.
This is the Goodwood hillclimb track. That's why some of the cars have huge rear wings. Also, some of those old cars are used in classic race car racing events (like the one used by Rowan Atkinson himself), so they could have rebuilt engines. 2:57 That's a Group C LeMans prototype, same class as the Mazda 787B and the Sauber Mercedes C9 in 1:29. 4:03 That's one of 2 Fiat S76's in existence. Also called "The Beast of Turin." Has a 28-liter engine giving out 290hp. 7:29 That's an electric Ford Mustang Mach-e. 8:21 That's a Tatuus-Alfa Romeo F3 T-318, the spec car used in the Formula W series. Same spec as F3. 14:13: That could be a 70s Lotus F1 car with the legendary John Player Special livery. 14:32 That's the unique six-wheeled Tyrrell F1 car. 15:10 That's a Lotus Ford F1 car from the 60s with the Gold Leaf (cigarette brand) livery. Plenty of 50s F1 cars, too--those hotdog bun-shaped cars.
The little blue squat car was Hillman Imp it has a inline rear .998 cc engine so just under one litre. There was also a Singer imp also a van version.. And the Mini was a late Mini Clubman with about the same size engine...
I just love the car at 9:18. It's a Ford Cortina MKII. I love them, because my girlfriend had one. They have basicly the same engine as the Escort MK 1, and MK 2. So they are easy to enhance.
The Subaru at 8.45 is driven by Travis Pastrana. He came second in the shoot out this year. The big old red fire breather is a Fiat S76 a.k.a. “The Beast of Turin.” Built for land speed record. 1910s I think. 28.4 litre 4 cylinder!!! 10.30 looks Shelby but it's a chev cheetah by Bill Thomas in the 60s to compete against the Shelbys. Unfortunately the Mello Yello NASCAR crashed into the hay bales and spun this year. Most of the body was wrecked.
Wow great Information thank you! Travis Pastrana must be freaking legit, he does well in a lot of events it seems, that fiat beast is a crazy car!!! 28L 4 banger!!??? That’s insanity, almost sounds more like an aircraft engine.. and thanks for the Shelby correction, I had no idea… that thing was real wild looking!
@@IWrocker Your comment about sounding like an aircraft engine is almost true. Their is a children's book called "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" (also a famous film!) which was written by Ian Fleming of James Bond fame. The car in the story is based on a true car. The car was around in the 1920's and was a customised chain driven Mercedes. The engines was a Maybach 23 litre, 6-cylinder aero-engine. The engine due to its size probably came from a Zeppelin. The name of the car has been disputed. Some claim it came from an English aeronautical engineer, Letitia Chitty, the first female member of the Royal Aeronautical Society but Fleming liked to name his cars after the sound they made as that was important to him.
That first of the old racers, the big red one spitting fire, is called the Beast of Turin. It’s a Fiat, with a 28.5 litre engine. I believe the chassis was found in the Australian outback and Fiat agreed to help with the engine and box etc.
I went to something similar here in Australia. It was a couple of years ago and it was called Speed Week and it was at Murwillumbah in NSW. I had the most awesome time.
The Six wheeler formula one was a Tyrell. The little car “”squatting down” was a Hillman Imp and a NASCAR turning right!!!!! Now I’ve seen everything. Lol.
Was a Rover V8 TWR, Tom Walkinshaw Racing, and there was another TWR car, a Jaguar XJ 220 in the Bud colors (blue on white) which i think won Bathhurst and LeMans as well as many more races and series, RIP Tom.
09:18 min. Late 60s Lotus Cortina MK II. Nice, little Ford UK family car gone wild. It runs a watercooled straight-4 of 1560cc / 95.17ci popping out 109 hp to move a weight of 2009 lb (912 kg).
That thing that you said was squatting down and looked fun to drive was a Hillman Imp. They were raced heaps when I was hanging around the tracks as a kid down here in the colonies. They had the engine in the boot. [trunk] England's answer to the Porsche 911 perhaps? Actually the engines they used were also used to run water pumps in fire trucks here in NZ.
Hillman Imp:Coventry Climax developed engine with all alloy engine and gearbox.Originally this Scots -built mini was plagued with under developed clutch,strange front wheel alignment(revised)and inadequate ,badly positioned air filter.Had to address these problems as an apprentice in the ‘60s.
Here in Australia there are companies like Rare Spares that do nothing else but make modern retro spare parts, if you get my meaning, to keep classic cars like these running. It's a whole cottage industry these days. Engines may be of varying levels of originality; Dick Johnson's 1984 Falcon, for example, is a time capsule that has never been touched since the day it finished its last race - even the oil stains are authentic. For a lot of cars, though, they're only "the car" in the sense that it's the original bodyshell and they've been re-created to some specific era or race. Some might even be replicas.
3:57 Looks like the Ferrari Breadvan.
6:45 is an Arrows A10, an F1 car from 1987. Engine was the BMW turbo that famously produced so much power the dyno couldn't measure it, rebuilt for the team by Megatron. Unfortunatey by 1987 pop-off valves had arrived, so the engine's only real advantage was gone.
7:54 is a Tyrrell 012, another F1 car from 1983. Stuck with a Cosworth V8, just about the only non-turbo engine on the grid by that point, they tried to make the car super-light to compete. They got caught cheating in 1984, but that's a long and rather sordid story.
8:20 Looks like an Aussie S5000 car, a modern reboot of classic Formula 5000 from the 1970s, powered by a 5-litre Ford Coyote V8. Good cars, fun to watch, they usually pair up with TCR events here in Straya. Might be wrong though, it could be a Formula 2 car or something.
8:58 is an Embassy Hill, a mid-1970s F1 car from the great Graham Hill's own team. It does sound awesome, Cosworth DFVs always do!
10:44 Looks like a Maserati 4CLT, the F1 ride of choice for the amateur enthusiast in the early 1950s.
11:05 Is some sort of Indy roadster, early 1960s.
11:38 Is an Alfa Romeo 155 touring car from what looks like the 1995 BTCC.
12:55 Is another BTCC car, a Renault Laguna from the late 90's.
13:04 Is a Rover SD1 from around 1984.
14:20 Is a Lotus 77, I think, from 1976 - just before the team brought in ground effects and changed the game forever.
14:44 Ah yes, the famous Tyrrell P34 from 1976 and '77. The idea was to remove the drag of big front wheels rotating in the airflow, then make up for the lost front-end grip by having more wheels. It worked to a degree, as the lost drag was calculated to be worth an extra 40hp from their DFV engine, and they won a race (the '76 Swedish GP at Anderstorp, if memory serves). But performance fell off as Goodyear stopped bothering to develop the special front tyres, and eventually they just gave up and went back to a normal layout.
15:14 Lotus 49 from 1968. The first F1 car to carry commercial sponsorship. Jim Clark died early in the year so Graham Hill carried the team, ultimately winning the championship at the final round (I told you a DFV always sounds amazing!).
Lots right but
Red car at 11:00 is a 1954 Kurtis Kraft Offenhauser Indy car. Did a good time for a two speed gearbox.
Incredible comment. Loss for words… thank you for this. Pinned your comment 🙌😎
I thought s5000 was Holden/GM 5litre v8 based, since it was a revision of formula holden
@@johnd8892 Ahh, thankyou for that, I did wonder.
@@dylanzrim3635 No, sorry, it's a Ford crate V8 these days. Back in the 1970s the Repco V8 was a popular choice for Formula 5000, and that was based on the Holden V8, but that was about 15 years before Formula Holden was thought of.
15:37 - mcmurtry spéirling, super machine bending the laws of physics
the driver: I want a supercar, but the roads are slim and I don't have much room in my garage.
the designer: I got you
Fun fact: the track is a driveway. No exaggeration, it's Lord March's driveway. He hosts the whole festival in his front yard. Rad dude, right? :D You can see his house just after turn 2.
This is like our driveway, one day bmw comes sideways, other motocross bikes, other woodtruck, other horsegirls 😂
The Old car at about 4:10 minutes in is the 1910 FIAT S76, ‘The Beast of Turin’. A four cylinder, 28.3 litre, (1730 cubic inch), monster capable of 132mph.
So he was right when he said its gotta be 100 years old xd
3:26 The new Aston Martin Valkyrie, it has a 6.5L V12 built by Cosworth
8:06 this is a Praga R1, it’s what sim-racing youtuber Jimmy Broadbent now races
9:02 this is a new Le Mans Hypercar the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG) 007. It’s made by an American team based in Sleepy Hollow, New York though these racing cars will be built by in Italy by Dallara. They also make road car versions of their race cars.
13:16 correct it is a McLaren, a McLaren 720 GTX to be exact. It’s basically a GT3 race car that they’ve modified to be even faster
13:30 another SCG, this one is a road car, the 004S. Comes with 3 choices of engine. A GM 5.0L LT4 twin turbo V8, a GM 6.2L Supercharged LT5 V8 or a Nissan 3.8L twin turbo VR38DETT V6. No electric powertrain available
15:50 this is a development car, it’s being used to develop hydrogen powered cars for racing, the chassis is a modified LMP3. The project is called ‘Mission H24’ and they hope to race a hydrogen powered car in the Le Mans 24 hour in 2024. They also have another car newer than this that uses an LMP2 chassis.
Noice
9:28 it's the Alan Mann Lotus Cortina mk2
Praga R1 is a fun to race in Assetto Corsa. Its like if a miata was a supercar.
@@grandmarquee super fun to drive as well in real life. It's basically like a mini LMP car.
A lot of these car's are just retired from track duty's and are original.
Uhmmm... I don't see why they should not be original...🤔😅
@@lowrangemaniac5326 the old one's are restored to original spec it still gives them a life racing if you modernise them it decreases there value
@@lowrangemaniac5326 there wouldn't be to many of them that aren't original then they go back on display in a Museum or a climate controlled garage so they stay in pristine condition
@@lowrangemaniac5326 Ask yourself "what is original?" before you answer the question ponder the problem known as the Ship of Theseus.
@@whyjnot420 I know that my question was stupid... It's because I thought that some cars could be replicas of the original ones, instead of original old cars that was restored with new pieces
4:02 is a Fiat S76 from 1910. They had a 28 litre (not a typo) 4 cylinder engine producing around 300hp. 15:01 is a Tyrrell P34 F1 car from the 1970s
I'm awe struck every time I see it! What a beast.
Beast of Turin?
@@goannaj3243 Yep! I know I'm late to the party but that is it's name. Two were built to beat the World land speed record. It achieved it at 110 MPH! It did manage 137 MPH but couldn't do the return trip to make it an official World Land Speed record.
Then some Alfa Romeo like the tz2 codatronca (something like “cutted-tail” the literal translation) but that fiat, also called Mefistofele, was crazy for those times! I love that somebody else knows about this!!
@@goannaj3243 Yep, certainly is.

8:48 is the easiest one of the lot, the most distinctive helmet in F1, 1996 F1 World Champion Damon Hill driving one of his late father Graham's Embassy-Hill cars from the early 1970s.
Now that is a name I haven't heard in a while.
Gold and blue car was a Praga. Orange car was a rover SD1, the Alfa and Renault were BTCC cars from the 90s. The 6 wheel F1 car was a Tyrrell P34 which was banned. Short squat car was a Hillman Imp. The small batmobile was the McMurtry fan car.
A lot of cars are original however overhaulled engine, gearboxes and brakes but to original spec. (As a lot continue to race in certain series)
You wanna watch the hillclimb competition from Sunday 2022...the winner was a McMurtry electric fan car and was mental!
Also check out the Goodwood revival seeing these cars race side by side!
The car that lost the wheel at 4:17, AKU 991 is a 1935 Aston Martin Ulster. 1.5 litre sports car made before tractor manufacturer David Brown rescued the company after WW2. Where the DB models came from.
14:45 I may be wrong but I think it's a Tyrrell F1 from the mid 1970's. It only raced one season I think.
You're enthusiasm about car's is infectious, you are re-ignighting life into me, and making me want to watch more old rally programs like the circuit of Ireland.
16:29 was a Hillman Imp. Think Corvair that shrunk in the wash. Engine at the back too. The difference is Imps really handled well and the engine was very advanced for the early 60s Alloy block & head, OHC, steel crank and good for 7000rpm which was just as well with only 875cc to play with. A full race one taken out to 998cc might make 110 bhp or more at 9000rpm
In 2011 Indianapolis speedway sent some of its original 100 year old bricks to Lord March and they now are a permanent marker for the start line of The Festival of speed.
14:49 This is the Tyrrell P34 F1 Car from 1976. The Tyrrell P34 F1 car had six wheels primarily to improve aerodynamic efficiency and increase grip. By using smaller front wheels, it reduced drag and improved airflow to the rear wing. Additionally, the four front wheels increased the contact patch with the track, providing more traction and better cornering grip. However, the design proved to be complex and difficult to optimize, leading to its eventual abandonment in favor of traditional four-wheel setups.
8:50 Imagine the goosebumps, Damon Hill driving his father´s team prototype.
14:40 i an old prototype of an F1 to make the max traction in the torns
Exist even a prototype that have 4 wheels in the back for max power on the ground
The corvette at 15:22 is a special corvette made by arrows if i'm correct for Sam Schmidt a quadriplegic. (He crashed in januari 2000 testing for the next indy car season) he steers with his eyes and use the brakes and gas with pipes he blows in (I heard the commentators talk about it during the live stream)
4:44 it's a old f1 from the time that Sena still drove
The very old tall skinny fire-breathing open wheel race car near the beginning is a FIAT S76 racer from 1911. Nicknamed the "Beast of Turin", it has a 28.4 liter 4 cylinder engine. It was lovingly restored over many years and began 'racing' in vintage events a few years ago. And you thought FIAT only built tiny engined cars. :) You asked about rebuilding old race cars to new. Formula, prototype, NASCAR, and Indy cars, like AA fuel and Funny Car dragsters, are rebuilt entirely after each race. Vintage race cars are generally rebuilt after a season of racing, unless they require attention more often. Most classes of serious racers must meet safety requirements; fuel cells, roll bars, racing harnesses, etc. Some old vintage race car classes do not require safety ungrades and may run as built in days of yore.
At 10:35 ish That is a Cheetah, they were built by Bill Thomas. The engines ranged from 327 small block Chevys, to 427 BBC/ dual quads. The Driver/Pilot sat over the rear axle.
3:26 the Angry green car is an Aston Martin
The tall old red car is Fiat’s “Beast of Turin” S76 300HP The culprit is a four-cylinder engine that has a displacement of 28.5-liters, (1739.17 cubic inches)which developed around 300 HP, at just 1.900 rpm.

@@imi0505 Yeah, the 72D has a large airbox.
That 15:36 is the McMurtry Speirling, British electric hypercar with fans creating vacuum under the car, just like Chaparral 2j in 1970s. It's extremely fast at corners and accelerates from 0-60 mph in 1.4s.
14:35 It was a real F1 car actualy. They had regulated the wingspann for the frontwing, (thats why you see all those F1 carrs with those tiny frontwheels from this Era) and your wheels had to fit inside this wideness, they did get smaler and smaler wheels, and didnt had that much downforce anymore. Untill someone came up with this solution 🤣
Don't know if you realized, but that Hoonigan car at 8:36 is Travis Pastrana
I didn’t catch that thanks 😎👍
The Goodwood events are great. Goodwood also provide a huge amount of coverage where they explain more about the cars running and the times they set against each other. Always learning something new from the coverage.
Earliest this year may be the 1903 Mercedes race car being pushed hard. So near 120 years old.
Duke of Richmond's driveway. Wikipedia has some of the amazing story of the Duke or Lord March.
I had quite a few of these older, classic cars. Including the 6 wheeler. Yep. I owned every one of them. Of course, I was a kid, and they were scalextric (slot cars), haha!
Having been to the show about 10 times I can say that about 95% of these classics are fully original and preserved specifically for these events. However a very select few have had newer parts fitted
Would like to know what happens to the ones that have an unscheduled meeting with the barrier. Especially with historical racing events.
Rebuilt every year.
The final Jaguar F-Pace was bee driven by Terry Grant. He's a master of car stuntwork. He actually drove the entire length of the hill climb on 2 wheels in a Range Rover
The car starting at 9:18 Are a 69-70 Ford Cortina. Mk2. They basically had the same engines as the Ford Escorts. Mk1-Mk2.
So they were easy to tune. And get great amount of effect from.
I think it's a Ford Cortina Lotus....so Ford Kent bottom end with Lotus twin cam head ?
5 of us squaddies went grape picking in a Mk 3 in the Mosel valley in Germany through the British army in 74/75, still got the hangover.
Looks like a ascona too...
Goodwood FOS is an amazing event. The variety of vehicles is astounding and to see and hear them in motion is just fantastic.
Well said, I’m definitely gonna be watching more coverage of this in my spare time haha
@@IWrocker Yeah, I've been watching the streams here and there. Kudos to the owners of the more expensive and rare cars who are willing to thrash them around for our enjoyment. It's on my bucket list, just edging out route 66 on an Indian, and just behind watching Scott McLaughlin win at Indianapolis.
If you guys are in to classic car racing too, they have another event at Goodwood called the Revival. They group cars into categories and go racing around the track there. Think 1950's F1, 1970's saloon car racing, old bikes, minis, le mans cars, etc. Everyone dresses up in period too, so it's like stepping back in time
The grey thing at 15:44 holds the course record. It’s a fan car. It actually sucks itself to the track for huge downforce.
Definitely on the bucket list to go there
Hey there, @IWrocker, About the 6 wheel, 6x2 F1 specimen on timestamp: 14:34 - 14:51 - this is a true F1 car, before the limitations of FIA. An excellent Turbo Era specimen. The 4 smaller wheels in the front provide better stability of the front end, by spreading the forces between 4 wheels instead of two, allows the front to take more aggressive driving without losing its balance. Cheers dude.
It also significantly reduced drag :)
That tiny black batmobile is a McMurtry electric fan car. At standstill, it creates 2000 lbs of downforce, just with the fan. 1000 kg of weight, 1000 horsepower. This year it broke the Goodwood hillclimb record, it's the fastest thing they've ever had there.
It smashes the track records wherever it goes! Insane machine!
Car at 9:17 is the British Ford Lotus Cortina mk 2 from 1966 to 1970. Double overhead cam Lotus head used so still fast today.
In Australia the more basic earlier GT and GT 500 Cortinas with pushrod engines won the first three Bathurst 500 events in 1963 64 and 65. Australian built first race specials Beating V8 Studebaker and Dodge Phoenix cars with crap brakes and high fuel consumption needing many pit stops.
Even the EH Holden six cylinder cars lost out to the Ford Cortinas.
Took the bigger engined Morris mini Cooper S to beat them in 1966 once the race special GT500 big fuel tank race special Cortinas were banned and the minis had their problems sorted out. The Cooper S then took the first nine places in 1966. The small blue car was the later Clubman version of the Mini. Nothing to do with the recent BMW mini, just using a highly regarded name.
13:10 Rover SD1. 3.5 V8 my 1st car. 😁
Great video! Loved your comments and enthusiasm. I've been to this event every year for 25 years. You have to go one day. Meeting the mechanics that spannered the cars when they competed is great with all their stories. I've met so many of my hero drivers over the years too and many of the cars that appear you will never see anywhere else. Keep up the good work!
The Red sportscar at 9:55 are Chevrolet's answer to the AC-Cobra. The Chevrolet Cheetah.
But all unofficial but helped Bill Thomas build them to a limited extent.
Even the Chevrolet Corvette was not Given Chevrolet official racing sponsorship due to the GM ban on racing in the era
8:10
That’s a Praga. Jimmy broadbent (a summer racing RUclipsr) is now a driver for them in britcar
4:29 - That is a real, historical car. Not a replica. To loose a tire is probably worth.... I don't know but surely more than I can afford.
15:56 is an prototype Le Mans hydrogene car
10:26 - 10:42 That's a Chevy Cheetah. It was an American sports car designed and engineered entirely with American components, and built between 1963 and 1966 by Chevy performance tuner, Bill Thomas. It was designed to be Cobra killer, but the rules have changed, and the Cheetah never raced again. Under the hood, is a 327 cu in Small-Block V8 engine from the C2 Corvette.
The Rover was an SD1 and the Mini was a 1275 GT with the Clubman body shell.
Really would like to see that race. To here, to see and to smell the amazing cars from different decades! WOW!
At 13:00 , yes a Rover. Made lots of sedans for mainly right hand drive markets.
The big success for left hand drive markets was the Range Rover and Land Rovers. Likely the first SUV that now infest our roads pressuring cars out of existence.
@2:53 is a Group C 1982 Porsche 956 that raced at the 24 hour Le Mans. The car @9:17 is a 1966 to1970 Mark 2 Ford Cortina
You have a much better knowledge of cars from around the globe than you give yourself credit for. Top job!!
Red car at 11:00 is a 1954 Kurtis Kraft Offenhauser Indy car. Did a good time for a two speed gearbox.
That specific festival must be awesome. To be there and see all legends from all classes and all time pass by must be legend. Someday I will be there.
I had that elf 6 wheel car for my old AFX track. Car was unbeatable!
The gold and blue prototype looking thing is a Prags R1
Only racing series I know it competes it in britcar
You should check out the Leadfoot Festival. It's New Zealands version of the Goodwood FOS.
Sounds awesome thank you I will check it out!
Leadfoot is the driveway of Pikes Peak racer Rod Millen.
If you have any interest in motorsport history then the Goodwood Festival Of Speed is a must. The range of cars (and drivers) is amazing, and you can wander round the paddock and get really close to the cars. OK, they don't all race up the hill, some just demo, but they're still great to see. What you didn't see in this video is the flint wall, a massive wall the cars have to shimmie round at full speed partway up the hill!
Check out also the Goodwood Revival meeting where the historics race around the Goodwood circuit rather than going up the hill.
That massive car at 4:04 is a 20,000 cc Alfa Romeo top speed car with a tiny supercharger
This event is like an exhibit for different race cars and its so awesome.
The older looking open-wheelers are F1, including the 6-wheel Tyrrell, which was banned after only 1 race (which it won).
7:30 meet the mustang Mach e
8:49 - F5000 from the early seventies - probably a Lola Chev T300/330
9:19 - Ford Lotus Cortina (1966?) with 1600cc Lotus Twin Cam engine.
14:25 - Tyrrell F1 car from 1976
Goodwood is an amazing festival, been a couple times. You're right that this is just a slither of the attractions, they have all kinds of stuff going on. There's even a rally section where you can go and watch all eras of rally cars powering through a mini rally route. Then you can go into the paddocks and watch them working on any car you can imagine.
4:45 Notice how the wheels are mounted. There are no screws attaching the rim to the hub, as there are now. These are centrally bolted wheels with one large central nut in the middle of the rim. You can see a small propeller in the middle of each wheel. This is the wheel bolt. It just needs to come loose and the wheel falls off. This was once the technology for mounting rims.
I had the black Lotus with John Player Special livery as a scale model when I was very young. The Tyrell with the 4 front wheels makes perfect sense if you read why it was made like this. It helps cornering a lot because you can modify the steering angles .
1:21
That's a 2022 WRC-car.
This year WRC switched from production chassis to silhouette cars due to the introduction of a mandatory hybrid system.
All of these are either ex race cars, prototype cars etc. They have a rolling car show and a lot of manufacturers have world premiere here on the Goodwood House Driveway. I live 20miles from Goodwood, need to get there next year! The Goodwood Revival is another one to check out!
7:00 a late 70s early 80s F1 car
Those 50's 60's race cars are genuine. rebuilt a lot - like a 100 year old broom, it's had 10 new heads and 20 new sticks but it's the same broom :-)
17:03 that toyota is from the BTCC, which is a very popular racing series over here in the UK
Ok gotcha thank you for that! I’ll have to look into the BTCC, bet they hit some great tracks… I know about and am fond of Brands hatch
I love watching BTCC. They race hard! Reminds me of the 2.0L touring car era we had in Oz. The variety is awsome, which we are definitely lacking in Supercars.

The cars - and often engines - are usually original and just incredibly well-kept. Goodwood FOS hosts the hillclimb track (which is the organizers literal private driveway) and it also hosts tons of classic racing events, e.g. the Members' Meeting, at the dedicated Goodwood Circuit (A track from the 50s I believe, that hasn't ever really seen any modifications besides a chicane being added & is still FIA Grade 3 certified for those events, but hosted F1 back in the day). The Goodwood track is also still used for testing sessions sometimes. It sadly is the place where Bruce McLaren, founder of McLaren, died in a crash, as he was testing a Can Am car that went on to win the championship. The rear bodywork came lose and he had a sudden loss of downforce at high speeds on the back straight and swerved into a marshal's bunker just before the final corner.
Good wood circuit, like Silverstone, is a WW2 airfield's outer road. It's basically mor like classic silverstone before and infields or new sections were added: A narrow, high-speed circuit with little runoff areas and hard to navigate turns... Or more so, unbanked kinks.
The "WTF was that" car was a McMurtry Speirling (irish boutique hyper/racing car manufacturer) - this exact thing has the record for the Goodwood Hillclimb. It uses a rear exhaust fan and venturi tunnels.to suck itself to the ground and creat upwards of 2.5 metric tons of downforce in standstill. It's also all-electric, so it has basically instant torque off the line.
15:44 is a McMurtry Speirling (Thunderstorm in Gaelic).
At 9:35 that is the American Bill Thomas Cheetah race car. Chevrolet 327 engine but a primitive mid sixties US design of suspension meant it made more noise than race actual race wins. Beaten by Cobras, Corvettes and most other racing sports cars of the time. Described as evil handling mostly.
Great info. Thanks!
Wow! A bit scary to drive I imagine! Haha
We had tons of those kind of things in Argentina during 60's/70's Torino Liebre, Chevrolet Garrafa, Ford Pronello Huayra...
It is a Cheetah, but the rest of the comments was a bit unfair. Yes very tricky handling (primitive individual rear suspension, and not the most rigid chassi, but no, it wasnt simply beaten by Cobras and Vettes of the time. Problem was, it was made in so small numbers so it ended up in the "prototype" class where it stood no chance really. And Chevy wasn't really that much in to racing during that period. ... and then the factory burned down....
(It also had a stroked engine, so 377 rather than 327 as I recall)
At 9:17 the red & gold car is a Ford Cortina mk2 from the 1970's probably a lotus variant with 2litre 4 cylinder twin cam.
Damn I love your reactions to the crazy stuff..
8:04 This is the Praga R1 EVO, it's from the Czech Republic and they also make civilian cars like the Praga R1R and Praga Bohema.
15:35 This is the Mcmurtry Speirling from the Great Britain.
15:38 is the McMurtry Spéirling, the jet like noise are fans that suck the car to the track for traction, this leaves the drive free to put all the power down and not waste with drag of aero, making it the fastest car on the hill climb event (2022), 39.08 seconds, 0-60mph time of around 1.5 seconds
I've actually worked some of these shows. The event is 4 odd days long!! A lot of retired drivers take part in FOS races (and revival races), loads of rare supercars are showcased as well (though not all of them are driven). most of the classic cars ARE originals as far as possible, many are from people's personal collections (often old team managers or retired racers own a number of vintage origanls - you see more of them at Goodwoods Revival festival), it means a lot of them play up on the start line because they aren't good at idling and end up overheating ( you can see it in the back of the shots how many white overalls are running around)
Check out the "Nürburgring 24h", it's an infamous endurance-race on the Nürburgring and the attached famous "Nordschleife".
24h with everything from (barely) converted roadcars to GT3 race cars, GIANT starting field, and a ton of mixed weather.
3:00 Porsch3 962. The car that dominated Le Mans in the 1980s.

Hi there. Glad you're liking the cars there. I'll go through with you some of the cars in the early part of you video.
The first car is I think a Pikes Peak Fiesta with around the upper hundreds horsepower, the fiesta after that is a World Rally Championship model, the Mercedes you saw is indeed a C9, a Championship winning car of the late 80s to early 90s. There were two of them, one driven by Jochen Mass and the other was driven by Mauro Baldi. The green car you saw with the yellow stripes is a track only Aston Martin Valkyrie. The Renault is a 90s British Touring Car and yes that was Rover SDi with 3.5litre V8. I'm writing this as your watching so I didn't get all the cars.
Ps that six wheeler F1 machine was from 1976 driven by Sir Jackie Stewart.
The 6 wheel formula 1 car was a Tyrrell P34, when they first came into the formula 1 race series nothing could beat it on the track, any track because of it's stability around corners & ability to accelerate out of corners where other cars had to wait to straighten up before accelerating.
So good potentially that it got banned.
Leas aero resistance from the low profile tyres too.
6 wheels means more rubber More rubber = more grip.
Wikipedia search confirms it was beaten in all but one race it entered. Best result was a team 1,2 in the 1976 Swedish GP
So not quite unbeatable but very interesting.
@@johnd8892 Oh yeah
@@RobertSmith-pt7gl yep
1:50 I believe Mercedes liked using big fat V8s aswell you know the most american engine in a german race car 😅
I went to Goodwood FOS for the first time this year! Was fabulous!!!
3:00 is a Porsche 956 Group C Le Mans racer.
The Saubar-Mercedes C9 is awesome. Was recently awarded in Forza Motorsport 7 for a time trial (online) and I actually got it :)
3:50 That is the Ferrari 250 GTO "Breadvan" - only one exists.
5:40 It is. Gorgeous racing machine. It was designed by Bertone who had just finished the Countach.
7:35 That is the Ford Mustang Mach E. Most people despise it for not being a proper Mustang. I just call it Mach-E.
11:38 That is the Alfa Romeo 155 for the BTCC. That Renault Laguna (12:50) is its competitor along with the Volvo 850 estate race car. Both of these cars are mid-to-late 90s actually.
13:00 That must be a Rover SD1 race car. Didn't even know they made a race car of that.
The red and gold saloon car (sedan in american lol) was an Alan Mann racing ford cortina Lotus, had a 1600cc twin cam engine
The mini wasnt a cooper
It had the clubman front end on it so it was a 1275 GT from the mid to late `70s
The tiny angry sounding car was a hillman imp, rear engined rwd.
I have been to the festival a few times, you can literally see everything from new models to cars from the early 1900's. There have also been some of the Landspeed record cars there too (Thrust2 and Thrust SSC).
BTW the red FIAT that was spitting flames at the start held the land speed record at 132MPH in 1910
Ur right it was a Rover! Well done. That was my 1st car 🚗 v8 3.5 that was Touring car trim. Goodwood goes on for a main week end but I think it's a week long thing, not 100% on that but it's a must!! You'd love there's a bit over everything on that little car b4 da Camaro was a Hillman Imp, one of the only car made buy a Scottish company! B4 number 9 I think the number was on the Camero.
This is the Goodwood hillclimb track. That's why some of the cars have huge rear wings. Also, some of those old cars are used in classic race car racing events (like the one used by Rowan Atkinson himself), so they could have rebuilt engines.
2:57 That's a Group C LeMans prototype, same class as the Mazda 787B and the Sauber Mercedes C9 in 1:29.
4:03 That's one of 2 Fiat S76's in existence. Also called "The Beast of Turin." Has a 28-liter engine giving out 290hp.
7:29 That's an electric Ford Mustang Mach-e.
8:21 That's a Tatuus-Alfa Romeo F3 T-318, the spec car used in the Formula W series. Same spec as F3.
14:13: That could be a 70s Lotus F1 car with the legendary John Player Special livery.
14:32 That's the unique six-wheeled Tyrrell F1 car.
15:10 That's a Lotus Ford F1 car from the 60s with the Gold Leaf (cigarette brand) livery.
Plenty of 50s F1 cars, too--those hotdog bun-shaped cars.
The little blue squat car was Hillman Imp it has a inline rear .998 cc engine so just under one litre. There was also a Singer imp also a van version..
And the Mini was a late Mini Clubman with about the same size engine...
I just love the car at 9:18.
It's a Ford Cortina MKII.
I love them, because my girlfriend had one.
They have basicly the same engine as the Escort MK 1, and MK 2.
So they are easy to enhance.
The Subaru at 8.45 is driven by Travis Pastrana. He came second in the shoot out this year. The big old red fire breather is a Fiat S76 a.k.a. “The Beast of Turin.” Built for land speed record. 1910s I think. 28.4 litre 4 cylinder!!!
10.30 looks Shelby but it's a chev cheetah by Bill Thomas in the 60s to compete against the Shelbys.
Unfortunately the Mello Yello NASCAR crashed into the hay bales and spun this year. Most of the body was wrecked.
Wow great Information thank you! Travis Pastrana must be freaking legit, he does well in a lot of events it seems, that fiat beast is a crazy car!!! 28L 4 banger!!??? That’s insanity, almost sounds more like an aircraft engine.. and thanks for the Shelby correction, I had no idea… that thing was real wild looking!
@@IWrocker Your comment about sounding like an aircraft engine is almost true. Their is a children's book called "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" (also a famous film!) which was written by Ian Fleming of James Bond fame. The car in the story is based on a true car. The car was around in the 1920's and was a customised chain driven Mercedes. The engines was a Maybach 23 litre, 6-cylinder aero-engine. The engine due to its size probably came from a Zeppelin. The name of the car has been disputed. Some claim it came from an English aeronautical engineer, Letitia Chitty, the first female member of the Royal Aeronautical Society but Fleming liked to name his cars after the sound they made as that was important to him.
That first of the old racers, the big red one spitting fire, is called the Beast of Turin. It’s a Fiat, with a 28.5 litre engine. I believe the chassis was found in the Australian outback and Fiat agreed to help with the engine and box etc.
I went to something similar here in Australia. It was a couple of years ago and it was called Speed Week and it was at Murwillumbah in NSW. I had the most awesome time.
Great video! They are all original cars. It is kind of the point of the festival.
The Six wheeler formula one was a Tyrell. The little car “”squatting down” was a Hillman Imp and a NASCAR turning right!!!!! Now I’ve seen everything. Lol.
Love how he nails the Sauber details - proper geezer 😂🔥
16:27. Thats a hillman imp, beautiful little cars
Been going to FOS for about 15 years, one of the best run events ever and the cars are fantastic
Was a Rover V8 TWR, Tom Walkinshaw Racing, and there was another TWR car, a Jaguar XJ 220 in the Bud colors (blue on white) which i think won Bathhurst and LeMans as well as many more races and series, RIP Tom.
Big fan of the good wood , been tryin to introduce my buddies to it , classic. Classic classic
09:18 min. Late 60s Lotus Cortina MK II. Nice, little Ford UK family car gone wild. It runs a watercooled straight-4 of 1560cc / 95.17ci popping out 109 hp to move a weight of 2009 lb (912 kg).
That thing that you said was squatting down and looked fun to drive was a Hillman Imp. They were raced heaps when I was hanging around the tracks as a kid down here in the colonies. They had the engine in the boot. [trunk] England's answer to the Porsche 911 perhaps? Actually the engines they used were also used to run water pumps in fire trucks here in NZ.
Hillman Imp:Coventry Climax developed engine with all alloy engine and gearbox.Originally this Scots -built mini was plagued with under developed clutch,strange front wheel alignment(revised)and inadequate ,badly positioned air filter.Had to address these problems as an apprentice in the ‘60s.
