How fast are these little things. My dad had a minivan. Lived on a farm. Had all sorts in the back. Calves off to market, bags of corn feed and anything else that would go in.
Hi there, all our full races are exclusively available to members of the GRRC community. You can find the Betty Richmond Trophy final here: www.goodwood.com/grr/event-coverage/members-meeting/2019/4/grrc-exclusive-77mm--betty-richmond-trophy-final-full-race/
if your close enough sure. the leading car is pushing through the air first so there must be a small amount of clean air behind it for another mini to make use of that clean air.
Of course, Mini racing isn't just aerodynamics. They're light so don't need as much power to accelerate and they corner so well. That means they race nearly flat out all the time, so it's hard to pull away and a bit of slip-streaming can give you that little bit of extra speed to carry you by in a passing manoeuvre. The aerodynamics aren't that much worse than other cars and the diminutive frontal area makes up for it so 100hp in a Mini will give you a top speed on par with 100hp in something more modern. The drag coefficient is actually very close to a F1 car - though a Mini doesn't make the down-force as pay off.
Many decades ago, I built two 1098cc engines, both with 12G1295 heads, one had the standard 630 cam, the other, 88G229, both were great road engines. plenty of low down torque.
Wow! Nick Swift has such a perfect line through that chicane, every time we saw him go through it. Great skill!
Love watching these little match box cars race. Thanks
Lovely cars. Just listen to those engines singing their little hearts out. Please upload the full race
I love the way they go through the chicane.
0:24 Nick Swift!!
some really nice heel and toe work i reckon.
I was there last September ..best racing action in the world! from Canada
This was highly satisfying to watch 😅
Wow fantastic absolutely brilliant this is what you call Racing
Great clean racing.
Well done.
How can this coverage have any Thumbs Down?
They don't own a mini.
@@edwardglamuzina3421 LOL. You might be right.
They're probably watching this with their phones or laptops upside down, and pressed the wrong icon...
Nice to see a bunch of mk1's out on the track
This is racing as it once was.
Had a mini Cooper in 1972 aged seventeen only wish I'd kept it loved that car it was flyer in its day😭😭😭
Such great little cars.
I like the registration "UP U 2".
Beautiful.
Cars with low HP always make for the best races, these little things make the drivers shine trough Skill, Wits and a certain degree of luck.
Loving the absence of driver aids, technology, fuel/tyre management and team orders which produces some great out and out racing 👍
So That's Why I Like Minis My Childhood Car Since I Was A Kid :D Now Im 16 Years Old The New Minis Looks Ok
Pure skill and a go kart with roof
Gnarly. Awesome. Sick.

Small Race Car But So Exciting!!

If only F1 was as exciting.......!
I agree with you on that if Ally F1 was exciting is this
Yup...
Defintly

Haha Patrick Watts? The former Touring car driver?
Kept waiting for Rowan Atkinson to burst into the lead
He was busy in his A35
Can you slipstream in a Mini?
if your close enough sure. the leading car is pushing through the air first so there must be a small amount of clean air behind it for another mini to make use of that clean air.
Of course,

Yes, off course. Doesn't matter what you race. A bicycle, a truck, F1 car, Mini, etc. etc. Even Goose do it with their V-formations. 😉
Lets all take a second to thank Junior Johnson, the creator of this technique and the rest of NASCAR's rule book.
Are these road legal?
Whoever wins, the credit goes to Mr Bean
Surely more exciting than F1...love mini s

I wonder if Swift could take a few seconds off if his hood was down tighter
26 thumbs down from Hillman Imp fanatics.
Very easy)

The most important number of all...........649
cam?
Yes. I had a 1275GT rally car with the 649 cam. Very high rpm to keep it at idle.

I think Mick Swift is better known to me than any current F1 car driver.
