Modern cars have too much aero. 😞 Back in the day they used every trick as well, but honestly, dirty air is significantly reducing other cars ability to get close to the car in front of them.
So glad the British still run these races and allow the public watch these valuable cars run like they are supposed to. In America the rich hoard their cars and most events are private or only rich can afford to attend. The small vs large races are my favorites. Reminds me of my childhood my town ran vintages car races
Only in GB..it is the paradise if you like racing vintage cars. You need tons of money also. I like Goodwood and I like to see here drivers from Le Mans, ex F1 driver like Jenson Button..it is really a lot of good races not like F1 anymore.
There are historic racing series in America, Goodwood covered the Monterey Car Week races at Laguna/Weather Tech. But to my knowledge, nobody else puts on such a weekend like this packed with crazy car, crazier racing, and awesome vintage atmosphere
I am a 60 years old race enthusiast, I have watched all types of racing since many years , nowadays Goodwood classic races are the ones I enjoy the most. Many thanks to who ever is responsible in organising this great event.
Brilliant illustration of the advantages of power vs weight. The Plymouth pulls away on the straight, the mini and the Alfa catch up every where else. Neither is “better” but it leads to amazing racing.
Heck of a race, I'll say. Awesome to see the match up between cars that are actually *different* compared to these days where that's not easy to find. And while I am a Plymouth boy through and through... they sure enough don't turn all that well compared to some things. 🤣
Is there any kind of racing that's more pure FUN to watch than old big and small-bore cars mixing it up? I don't think so. You know every driver was having an absolute blast too.
Watch pre war footage racing here at this channel. Thats awesome older than 110 yr old cars with sometimes over 200 HP aviation engines...no brakes thin tires...
Outstanding St Mary's Trophy. Remember, Alfa 1.6 GTs had dual circuit, twin servo, four wheel disc brakes. Helped a lot, despite 1/3 of the power of the V8s. Max speed of a standard road car was only about 125 at 6,700rpm in 5th.
The fact that these classics are still competing fiercely on the track is insane!!! Totally love this era of racing and thank you for still holding them! ❤
now....THAT'S what i call a race....wow....fantastic...and great cars......and very pleased to see an AR win...well done Frank Stippler....never thought to see him at Goodwood when he was a young driver in mostly german Touring cars and the DTM plus LM team Audi BUT he did start his career at 18 with an old Alfa Romeo which he tuned himself.....cheers.
Awesome racing as always with Historics and Classics unlike the modern rubbish. The practice I watched yesterday with the Healy 3000 under full control even at 45 degrees was superb.
These drivers are really having to work the steering and the 3 pedals with no driver aids. I'm glad people have preserved these cars for us to enjoy today.
Amazing racing. I'm always pleasantly surprised how beautifully prepared and perfect the race cars look at the start. Equally surprised that drivers get so close and don't worry about a few scratches.
I rode in a friend's brand-new Sprint GT when I was in high school. He drove it as if it was live at Goodwood. Exhilarating. Exciting. Unforgetable. A near-death experience.
My old buddy sold his a few years ago. Sad as it was a beautiful car and scared the crap out of me the one time I rode with him, but age put the frame into bad shape and it was retired. New crappy Alfa bought. Instant mistake.
I've just discovered this channel and I'm loving it! I've owned a number of American muscle cars in my lifetime but my favorite car is my Jaguar XJs with the Chevy V8 conversion. I'm now thinking of looking for a Ford Galaxy to restore!
So much fun to watch the whole race. I especially appreciate the V8 noise, and overall speed. It’s equally amazing how much speed those minis carry through a corner.
@@DontCryAboutIt Nothing gets away from the mass difference though and circuit racing in the UK generally doesn't have long straights. Unlike NASCAR, British saloon car racing was almost exclusively on courses like Goodwood that started as the perimeter roads on airfields with chicanes and infield sections included to vary the track layout. Much of the European racing was on road courses that took in twisty sections so mass and handling were important for all classes. That the big cars, particularly so the Galaxie does so well at Goodwood is testament to the work done on a very few specifically for British saloon car racing by Holmann and Moody.
@@1240enzo l agree. I think the Alfa's a better car for this course. Really impressive. It almost looked effortless. On the other hand, the Cuda driver was really driving hard, slipping sideways around every corner; pushing it to the edge. Very impressive driving, l thought. But Roman in the Galaxy probably had the fastest run. Starting behind and finishing up with a bumper length off 2nd place. The power of the Ford on the straight was amazing. A great race in so many ways.
@@DontCryAboutIt Yes, it isn't about which type of car is better. It depends on the course. It's great fun to watch the big American cars compete against the Europeans. To see the V8s rocket up the straight and the smaller cars zip through the twists.
Bought one of those Alphas new in '68. 1775cc (actually about 1950cc) engine was all aluminum, double overhead cam, fuel injected. It took 8 quarts of oil. The 5 speed tranny and rear gear box were aluminum. 4 wheel disc brakes. Solid as as a rock. Very quick, agile and fast. It wanted to cruise at 110 mph. 😂
@@tobyholt4682 Possibly, but the car is complete, I have worked with very rusty cars before, did rotisserie body restorations of three XK-Es, a couple of 750 series Alfas, and an Austin Healey 100M. I'm in New England, finding no rust cars of any stripe just isn't in the cards. The car I'm trying to buy is half an hour away but the owner is a hoarder who has 100 cars rusting away and sinking into the ground. Lots of 2002s, two 912s, it's a real shame seeing them that way.
Some works of art can be enjoyed hanging up on a wall or carved into stone. These drivers however put on a beautifully artistic show of skill. And I just love that Barracuda that Jake Hill was driving.
One of the few races in this modern world that makes me giggle and laugh. It's out of time. Right out of my childhood when Impalas, Galaxies, Fairlanes, and Sport Furies ruled the road. PS From what twilight zone have these Goodwood Barrcudas materialized? Nice.
Not that was pure racing excitement! So fun to watch these classics of all makes and sizes, with famous racers to boot! Am going to have to explore this channel!
Top driving skills. With such a large field and and classes ranging from 1300cc to nearly 7 litres and having to drive by the back markers. Not a second to relax.
I really wish there was a list of all the makes and models at least. What would be the best would be a list of every car, number, driver, make, model and year of the vehicle. I love watching these old cars doing real racing
Alfa GTA Junior alloys, Mini Cooper works cars that are built to the hilt, the Galaxie 500 lightweight cars, the aluminum Plymouth barracuda, there’s a BMW 2002 in there that’s probably a race spec chassis of some sort, mark 1 ford lotus cortinas, which usually win the race. That’s usually the field for this class, maybe a Camaro, mark 2 jag as well.
Used to watch those very same cars when they were new in the 60s. Got me into racing/sharing a Mini with a couple of mates. Back then we drove the Mini to the track (Brands Hatch), set up in the pits, fettled the car for the race and had a brilliant day, win or lose.
They made Forza D class in real life? 😱 No but for real, this was an amazing watch. I love seeing these old hunks of metal get driven like they were meant to be. And I love seeing Christian Horner get lapped 😂
Superb race, thanks for posting it. Seeing those big American muscle cars going toe-to-toe with the little Mini Coopers in the same race, is fabulous! BTW, I'm no expert on these old cars, but wasn't Jake Hill in a Plymouth Barrucuda and not a Galaxie 500, as mentioned near the start (0:15)?
I so enjoyed Mr. Dumas' truly epic/spirited RUN. The MASS of that Ford over the 1/3rd size Minis showed the old adage..."no replacement for displacement"... but oh, yeah, the ALFA WON!😁
Nah , given the conditions and the track they did a great job. Put a couple "69 Camaros Z-28s' and a few "70 Boss 302 Mustangs out there and THEN watch the fun begin
I'm American, I absolutely love my V8 powered boats... HOWEVER, I will always respect those British & other foreign cars, they just don't back down. The V8 darts out in the straights, then you see one of the little pocket rockets nipping at the heels of the American boats in corners. Absolutely beautiful example of experts in their own aspects.
Really great but it was, in my opinion, even better before those Yank tanks came on the scene. We did all our saloon car racing in the late 50s/ early 60s. I well remember the late Chris Aries taking the all-out Brands record in his Ogden tuned A40.

Just 5 minutes of this race are better than a whole formula 1 gp!👍💪
THIS is what racing should look like - forget the modern stuff :)
absolutely....
yeah you know...racing with cars
Modern cars have too much aero. 😞 Back in the day they used every trick as well, but honestly, dirty air is significantly reducing other cars ability to get close to the car in front of them.
A dozen or more different makes and models.
Recognizable cars from all over completely different engines door to door bumper to bumper doesn't get any better

In America you couldn't run a race like this without everything getting smashed up.
@@tbd-1 The vintage racing I've see in the US has been very clean, no demolition derbies.

@@tbd-1 oh shut up.
The racing is always better with no aero and no fancy electronics - great old-school wheel-to-wheel battles all down the field!
Where the driver is a large part of the overall spectacle.
That was not only some great racing, that was some of the best video I have ever witnessed.
Well done Goodwood!
Amen to that....
These huge Galaxies (even US size understanding) with their big block FEs against a Mini and Alfa and Plymouth is just a pure joy to watch!
They could put a Mini in the trunk.
Fantastic racing.... The real stuff.
What FE engine were they running?
I don't know if the 427 had yet been introduced by the1963 model year.
@@twine3410 But not overtake them
Very impressed by the great balance between aggressive driving and cautious close quarter racing. Drivers demonstrating terrific skill.
I couldn't agree more !

at 78 i would agree, the old TRANS AM AND CAN AM races were the best ever
I have to ask myself why I even bother watching F1 when there's stuff like this to be had.
for free too.....nothing better....ever.
@@stratman9449 well maybe, but... have you ever seen the British Sidecar Championship? 😁
F1 has sadly become very dull. Things like Classic racing, Rallying, and some of the bike races just knock spots off it - sadly
MotoGP especially 👍
@@zounds13 Completely agree. I’ve stopped watching F1 altogether now. BTCC all the way…and then all this revival stuff. Brilliant!
Dumas looked like he was really enjoying that. What a beast that Galaxie is.
Brilliant illustration of the advantages of power vs weight. The Plymouth pulls away on the straight, the mini and the Alfa catch up every where else. Neither is “better” but it leads to amazing racing.
14:00 Minis racing Ford Galaxies is just hilarious! The size difference almost seems like it can't be real. 😂
@@TassieLorenzo those minis looks like RC car 😂
Add some rain and it's no contest.
Honestly this is the best racing of any series I can think of. Real seat of the pants wheel juggling pedal dancing driving!
Love the mad difference between the titchy mini and the vast Yankee Land-yacht. A Jack Russell picking a fight with a Rottweiler
haha...more like a "yorkshire terrier".....
Unbelievably beautiful racers, particularly the Barracuda and Galaxie 500’s. (all of them really)
Heck of a race, I'll say. Awesome to see the match up between cars that are actually *different* compared to these days where that's not easy to find. And while I am a Plymouth boy through and through... they sure enough don't turn all that well compared to some things. 🤣
Mad race, everything had their own speciality, corner, high speed, light weight, dsng, what a race ❤
This is better than NASCAR racing any day. Cant ger over this big 63 Ford Galaxy on the track. Think I saw a 64 also. Greetings from the US.
Is there any kind of racing that's more pure FUN to watch than old big and small-bore cars mixing it up? I don't think so. You know every driver was having an absolute blast too.

What a crazy race, interesting from start to finish. I don't understand how can the huge monster cars be competing against the Minis. Fun to watch.
Beautiful cars😊
Alfa GTA is awesome
I rode in a friend's brand-new Sprint GT when I was in high school. He drove it as if it was live at Goodwood. Exhilarating. Exciting. Unforgetable. A near-death experience.
The GTA is, indeed, awesome. But that is a Giulia GT Sprint, which is not as fast as the GTA
My old buddy sold his a few years ago. Sad as it was a beautiful car and scared the crap out of me the one time I rode with him, but age put the frame into bad shape and it was retired. New crappy Alfa bought. Instant mistake.
No smashing into one another, no rubbing or PIT maneuvers, actual competition. Geez, I'm getting old, I appreciate this.
This is RACING! Beats many forms of autosport!!! I can almost smell the racetrack.
This is some of the best racing I've seen in years. Like a time warp to the lemans days of the late 60's.
I've just discovered this channel and I'm loving it! I've owned a number of American muscle cars in my lifetime but my favorite car is my Jaguar XJs with the Chevy V8 conversion. I'm now thinking of looking for a Ford Galaxy to restore!

I very much prefer this to any type of modern GT anytime. EPIC!
Awesome stuff... can't help cheering for that lil Alfa though, such an iconic immortal car.❤❤❤
AMAZING racing!!
The touring car race at GW kills F1 dead in the water. Way more exciting, just way more of everything.
So much fun to watch the whole race. I especially appreciate the V8 noise, and overall speed. It’s equally amazing how much speed those minis carry through a corner.
This is sooooo cool, this is racing, no buttons or switches, they just have drivers, are you kidding me, amazing
Dumas was on fire close finish for second what a drive
Extraordinary such crazy diff cars so evenly matched
You have to just love how the great handling little 1.6L Alfa Romeo GT Giulia can beat the muscle of big V8 yank cars. Top driving by Frank Stipler 👍
All it takes is a longer straightaway
