    Chris Harris gets to do things 99.9% of us can only dream of, but I don't begrudge him a moment of that because he's obviously a really nice bloke. Best car journalist in the world in my opinion.

      I commented "Best car journalist in the world" (referring to Chris Harris), without having read your comment, 1 year later. Guess it holds true

    Bloody hell that was exiting!! Best thing i've watched in quite some time. My heart truly sank when i realized for sure you weren't gonna win, and i forgot to breathe when the car spun near the end.
    Brilliant video Chris! Damn...

      @kanaric 11 лет назад +11

      yeah i agree, i actually felt like i cared how they were doing and felt bad when he spun out, great work

    • @SaleemHodge
      @SaleemHodge 11 лет назад +10

      That emotional connection is where I think Chris shines at. He makes you feel a part of his journey. Be it on a greasy track with a F40 or driving in a historic at Goodwood.

      @Ober1kenobi 10 лет назад +12

      Agreed, there is just this..feeling in all his videos, he understands cars, he develops a relationship with the car in such a short period of time. And there is just so much more, my absolute favourite car journalist/reviewer ever.

    Wow. This was, without a doubt, the best video Drive has put together. I thought the Chris Harris Mille Miglia video would never be topped, but this one had a clearer narrative, better footage and a dramatic peak. Excellent stuff. Keep putting Harris in old British cars - he makes magic.

  • @TimShaw1
    @TimShaw1 11 лет назад +35

    RUclips community take note: This is the most breathtaking spectacle ever produced. I say breathtaking because I quite literally stopped breathing a few times (especially during Anthony Reid's "minor pirouette" in the rain). Fantastic driving, Chris! Outstanding content /Drive team! "One sensational race"...

  • @darrinfraser
    @darrinfraser 11 лет назад +7

    @travkatz 11 лет назад +9

    Thank you Chris Harris and crew, for making what has become my favorite content to watch ON ANY MEDIUM. And this piece tops your best work. As the race got underway, I was moved near to tears, heart swelling with nostalgia and admiration. Chris, your respect for the sport, and your child-like joy, are as much of a refreshment as I can think of. CHEERS!

  • @FerrarisRock
    @FerrarisRock 11 лет назад +21

  • @inaki1213
    @inaki1213 11 лет назад +12

    Absolutely astonishing. More than a video, it's been like a film that tells a story of a fully passionate race back in the sixties. Shame the team ended second, but must have been a great honor taking part on such amazing event. Just speachless!

  • @tristanw7408

  • @JonasWindey
    @JonasWindey 11 лет назад +7

    This is honestly one of, if not the best video I've ever seen. It has it all.. the drama, the melancholy, the suspense, the best looking cars ever built. Thank you so much, Chris.

  • @stolas666
    @stolas666 11 лет назад +7

    Most exciting 18min of Chris Harris footage I've seen. The race was epic, the narration brilliant and the sheer feeling of being part of the event called for an epic director. Thank you for these amazing car videos. And hats off to Mr. Harris for being an inspiring car enthusiast. We all wish we spent an evening with him talking about cars.
    Keep the videos coming, you have my view!

  • @baum6801
    @baum6801 11 лет назад +33

    I am a bit reluctant to use the word epic, but this time it's just that: Epic!!
    This video made me smile the whole time. Those Brits can be awesome, all dressed up, really racing 10-ish million euro cars! Great vid, thank you /Drive and Chris Harris!

  • @StatementPlus
    @StatementPlus 11 лет назад +9

    That was one of the best, if not the best Chris Harris video I've seen so far. Lots of dialogue, conveyed great emotion of the event, and the shots they got on camera too. So bummed about them not grabbing first with less than 2 minutes left. I think I need to go to this event one day.

  • @smohan123
    @smohan123 11 лет назад +6

    What a magical video. I absolutely screamed out loud in joy at 12:23 when Chris passes the Cobra the first time and "DAMN!" when he's passed back a few seconds later, and relieved at 13:00 after the see-saw finally rests with the Lister at the top. Brilliant!!

  • @ScottHillsmusclecargarage
    @ScottHillsmusclecargarage 11 лет назад +13

  • @ALMX5DP
    @ALMX5DP 11 лет назад +6

    I must mirror most every comment on "epic" "awesome" and "fantastic" below. Chris and the /Drive team as well as Mr. Reid, you lot did a great job and produced a stellar video to boot. Maybe it is the palpable sense of Goodwood or great vintage TT cars, but i hope that future /Drive videos can capture this level of emotion in future episodes across the already monumental lineup.

  • @Kingsoupturbo
    @Kingsoupturbo 11 лет назад +18

    What an amazing video! I was sitting on the edge of my seat, great editing, voice over, the right sound at the right time, Chris doing an amazing job, best video from Chris I've seen yet!!!

    @weeksy79 11 лет назад +6

    I couldn't believe my luck when I was sitting in the stands and heard you were racing. I didn't believe it was THE Chris Harris for so long, but what a great surprise it was. A fantastic race and an amazing video to follow. This is racing, and it's mighty fine.

  • @barrygoffe
    @barrygoffe 11 лет назад +5

  • @MaximusFelinusXVI
    @MaximusFelinusXVI 11 лет назад +2

    Simply the BEST piece of automotive journalism I've seen. Chris Harris and /Drive, I am proud of you guys! Chris never fails to delivery the human side of the story (wherever there is one) using the cars, and it is always about the human, emotional side of the story, isn't it? Please keep on doing what you're doing because this channel's got soul!

  • @deanchung2504
    @deanchung2504 11 лет назад +4

    When people ask what's so fascinating about motorsport, I now have a reference point to show them. The essence of all things that are great about racing captured so beautifully. Thank you for the most entertaining 18 mins I've seen this week. Great job mate. Also, brilliant driving!

    @eskimo810 11 лет назад +5

    I respect /Drive channel as a whole, with all of its shows continuously bettering themselves, and I'm well aware of the dangers in praising /Chris Harris on Cars above all others, but I don't believe that I'll be persuaded otherwise in this instance. Outstanding car, driving, narration, and camerawork. This is worlds above and apart from what is normally considered "RUclips content." My heart nearly shattered when Anthony spun the car, even though the shots of him tracing the outside of the corner earlier when the rain first struck told me to expect exactly that.

  • @Tangelos
    @Tangelos 11 лет назад +1

    The story telling, the cars, the suspense... Truly an all-time great video. Simply gobsmacked Chris. The cigar at the end seemed well deserved for a race brilliantly run. Again, just great.

  • @andersnus
    @andersnus 11 лет назад +3

    I went to goodwood revival in 2010 and it is a magical place, anyone with a hint of petrol running through their veins would be brought to their knees... As I entered through the paddock, the thrum of 50`s F1 cars pounding round the track made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.... Many thanks to Chris Harris for bringing those feelings rushing back. A 250 gto, or E type Lightweight or a Cobra 427 going full chat with the sound echoing off the pit walls is a void that needs filling for any petrolhead. please go... Cheers Monkey

  • @sanscipher
    @sanscipher 11 лет назад +3

    I watched this last night on my tv because I couldn't wait to get into work to see it. Brilliant video absolutely brilliant. I can't even imagine the difficulty Anthony must have had with that thing once the rains came. Great drive chris, it looked like one of those times where your just in the zone. The noise out of that thing, I agree I think if it was at all possible that would be the car I would ask for in my dreams/wishes haha. I've had so many different dream cars over the years, but that just looks and sounds like a monster and to me seems true to the spirit of motor (racing) cars. Thank you & chop chop we're all wanting another video already :P I jest!!

    It was great seeing these priceless cars, hanging their tails out on most every turn. The voice over was spot on as well! I held my breath when that Lister spun!

    It's been 6 years since the last comment was left. We do not get to see much of new top gear episodes in Eastern European. This is the last and best format in which I get to see Mr. Harris. I am grateful for this being uploaded to youtube. CH on cars and drive was the best I ever saw. Wish he would still continue this format.
