  • British Touring Car runner-up Sam Tordoff had quite the time in the Fordwater Trophy at Goodwood Revival 2018. After grabbing a pole from Darren Turner's Aston Martin DB2, Tordoff's Porsche 356 stalled when the flag dropped. The ensuing drive was absolutely scintillating: enjoy eight minutes of the best moments here!
    Goodwood SpeedWeek is just around the corner! Can you wait until 16th-18th October? We can't!

      Yeah but if you are able to own one of those and race it, the "expensive" part is not really what bothers you I think. It's more about not to ruin a great car and especially to get out of it alive in case of something.

      I think completely modern grippy tires (semi-slicks or slicks) would overwhelm the suspension. (There were instances where people tried to improve normal 20-30 year old cars with such tires but the parts holding the wheels weren't strong enough for these forces during very hard cornering.)
