As much as I wish Chris Harris success with Top Gear I'm sad all his videos are now over edited & trapped in a boring formula. Really would like to see him in more of these types of videos again.
Guilia Super , pure class Bought a 1.3 version in Cornwall in the 80's for a £150 3 50 pound cheques with a bankers card ' Made it back to London ' one of my best memories of a car ' A superb Alfa ' Brilliant stuff thanks
I really enjoy these behind the scenes takes on great motorsport events. Also love how Chris has a Porsche undershirt and Maserati overalls on without having to worry about sponsors getting annoyed. Keep up the good work Chris.
The car is a 1964 Ford Falcon with the wedge style body rather than the rounded & smother body style of the 1963. Jay Leno has a very nice 1963 Falcon Sprint that he obtained, look up Jay's 1963 to compare the body style.
It’s a shame you guys didn’t get to finish, but this video was fantastic. This is what I want to see. I’m sick of all the new supercars and hypercars and whatnot. Sure they’re cool, but this is what passion is about. Going out racing, smelling the wonderful race gas, hearing the roaring V8’s and flat 6’s… ah man. Yes.
I have to say that I love ALL of Chris' work, but I could have watched this for hours. Just fantastic and I (we) all hope to see alot more of these longer episodes. Thanks Chris & the team & Thanks Drive.
This is by far one of the best videos I've watched. Chris and his team have outdone themselves this time. Nostalgia at it's best. Back in the days here in Jamaica, I was used to seeing quite a lot of those amazing cars and even driving a few too. Chris if you ever visit Jamaica for a vacation, give me a holler.
This was really a memorable episode. Thank you, Chris, for the depth and quality of your friends and real car racing. Here's hoping you guys finish well next year!
I have become addicted to your videos. I love your appreciation of classic and historic race cars. It's all about the experience. There is such an aura around these cars which the modern cars don't have. It's fantastic to watch and must be amazing to take part in!
From the comfort of my study looking out at deep snow with the constraints of tier 4 I am viewing this as if it was a fiction movie; it has given me a warm feeling, remembering being in a crowd, hearing the growl of the engines and smelling burnt fuel and tyre smoke, I can barely wait to be back there again.
Well done Chris! Love your enthusiasm, you want to show us the wonderful world of Spa 6 hours with beautiful classic cars! Keep it up, mate! Thank you! :)
My dad and I went to a fellas house and bought a 64 Falcon Sprint for $15. Not a single panel on the car was the same shade of blue. We worked on her for a couple of days and I drove her for 5 years without a single problem. She was stolen from me and driven to death. The cops found her in the Santa Cruz mountains where she'd been thrashed to the point where the rims looked like flowers from having been driven on after the tires blew. So many good times in that car. I almost cried when she was hauled away for scrap.
Wow, I think this is my favorite car vid from the entire year so far. So much awesomeness compressed in 19 minutes. Wish we could've seen more of those GT40s and 60s Astons and Ferraris. Couldn't help but think that car culture in Europe is so much deeper than America and Japan combined.
The '64 Sprint was the best looking Falcon of them all, in my opinion, and perhaps the most well represented Falcon around the world in motorsports of all kinds. It's always fun seeing them mix it up on the vintage circuits, very cool. But seeing the angry little Cortinas drifting around the corners in opposite lock? That too is cool!
IT truly was a superb weekend. So much to see/hear/smell. Awesome track and incredible cars. Great to see it from a driver's perspective, but to be honest, i was happy swilling belgian beer and watching blokes in million quid cars getting sideways. See you next year, Spa.
You need to send Chris Harris to more races! Even back in his Autocar days, I loved the features of him taking part in motorsport events. This was one of the best videos I've ever seen
13:55-14:25 most epic downshift noises and gorgeous motors. amazing. even though you consistently looked to have lost places in the giulia, it looked like so much fun. i absolutely love this film
Amazing work by Chris and the gang. Have watched the video 3 times in the last hour. One day hope to do a classic Spa race myself and this has given me the extra motivation to empty the cheque book
Great vid and 400 horses out of a 289 to boot. Well done, even if it came apart just a bit. I was very happy to see 3 or 4 Austin Healeys in the race. I sure miss mine. I had two 3000s at the same time, one for road and one with a roll bar and triple SUs. Good times....
These Chris Harris vids seem to take out a lot of the elite wank ego factor of motors and motor racing. He makes amazing cars and tracks from all over the place accessible to all and with humor chucked in for good measure, you can’t go wrong. If someone else is going to be living my dream, it might as well be Chris. Keep it up team, great vids.
I've come to realise that Chris simply has the same luck as Alonso.. He is a fantastic driver, always let down by the cars! Top Gear has proven yet again Chris' bad luck continues in these events!!
A Rare sight this side of the pond ' I remember as a kid , seeing them race in the UK touring cars of the period ' They looked so out of place ' but always had a good showing ' nostalgic thanks for the Vid '
Wow, you are one lucky guy Chris! Thanks for well made video. These old racing cars are much cooler than the new machines in my opinion. Good luck next year!
What a great experience what a great company what a great race what a great cars and what a great video-only :( -for us...Thanks! I m 30 but especially those who are around 15 to 20 years old and you really like this video then we can hope for a better world....
Hey Chris. Another brilliant film! I love cars from this period. You created a very real sense of atmosphere. I just want a drive now!!! Cheers. John Fernley
I really enjoyed this, Chris. I've noticed that, no matter where it is you head off to in the garage, you walk with a quick purpose. I imagine you do you do everything smartly, which your significant other might not enjoy. If you drink the same way, we should knock a few back, as I think you'd be a hilarious drunk!
This is really great stuff guys! Editing is near perfect, music, feel, makes you watch the whole thing with a smile on your face. You just feel the whole thing as if there. Keep on the good stuff and this will be the next big thing (if not already ;) ! ! !
I love it that they upload races to youtube... I live about as far from Australia as possible, and I've never been there, but Touring Car Masters is some of the coolest racing I've ever seen! I've got a 69 Camaro, and I so badly want to mix it up with those guys! I'd get slaughtered, but it would be a spectacular death!
Авто/Мото
Those Mini drivers are ferocious! Like a swarm of bees any direction you look.
Same results every venue: "Tiny pee-pee = big balls = exciting racing." They're tough, for sure.......
These race videos are so awesome. Birds eye peek to many who would otherwise never get to experience what it would be like. Thanks guys!!!
that team meeting in the land rover had me cracking up.
As much as I wish Chris Harris success with Top Gear I'm sad all his videos are now over edited & trapped in a boring formula. Really would like to see him in more of these types of videos again.
What on earth are you on about??? He makes by far the best car videos on RUclips.
These videos follow the exact same formula that his "Chris Harris on Cars" yt channel did, and I personally think they are fantastic.
True
@@samvimes1083 he is talking about the other videos
Ditto, I agree I love Chris in the raw format.....

You are correct it is a 64 or maybe a 65 but NOT a 63 which had more rounded fenders. Also disc brakes were not homologated for 63.
Correct, ts a 65, 60 thru 63 were rounded and no disc brakes in 64
@@JamesOneParker Homologated in '64 with Girling or Kelsey Hayed discs
MrHillbilly49 64 Falcon has the outline chrome trim on the side. 65 is more like a stripe.
Awesome. Who doesn't like a fully prepared road race '64 Falcon Sprint?
Maindrian Pace
No one who knows what they're talking about. 👍
Porsche shirt, Maserati Jacket, Ford Falcon...
All costing the same amount.
gbshaw107 Would be good to compare each...
Ford falcon all day lol

I just love these old car racing.
The sound, the feel, the weight, the shapes. Beautiful :)
I love the directing, relaxed atmosphere, and reflective narration. Bravo.
Video of the Year from Chris until now, thanks so much for sharing this with us, especially allowing us to listen to all those brutal engines! Epic!
Calling Mr. Chris Harris. Please create more of these videos. For the love of God, please.
Thank you.
these historic videos are by far my favorite. the sounds are so much more raw.
This is by far one of the best videos I've watched. Chris and his team have outdone themselves this time. Nostalgia at it's best.

Chris you've done it again, you've glued me to my seat and made me afraid to blink. Brilliant work, keep them coming!!!
I have become addicted to your videos. I love your appreciation of classic and historic race cars. It's all about the experience. There is such an aura around these cars which the modern cars don't have. It's fantastic to watch and must be amazing to take part in!

Love seeing those beautiful cars sliding about!

Damn, I'll wait for this again next year. Thanks Chris, everyone, for one of the best pieces of motor journalism of the year.
What an awesome video. Racing at its purest. Beautiful! More of this please

Excellent video Chris! Great to see some classic cars, thankyou and keep up good work.
Ooooo.... GT40's in the mix as well. Quality. Top job again Chris. Get back there next year.
What a fantastic bit of film! That Alfa was a dream!
13:55-14:25 most epic downshift noises and gorgeous motors. amazing.
even though you consistently looked to have lost places in the giulia, it looked like so much fun. i absolutely love this film

Another superb video. You are a credit to automotive journalism. Keep it up Chris.
Wonderful! Looking forward to next years, maybe 3rd time round :)
Also some great camera work, lovely focus pulls and great compositions.
Great one. Reminds me of my racing in the 70's.
this is very cool man. love to see those old school cars
Great vid and 400 horses out of a 289 to boot. Well done, even if it came apart just a bit. I was very happy to see 3 or 4 Austin Healeys in the race. I sure miss mine. I had two 3000s at the same time, one for road and one with a roll bar and triple SUs. Good times....

I really hope you guys get more videos out like this one!
Best clip on drive I've ever seen!
I've come to realise that Chris simply has the same luck as Alonso.. He is a fantastic driver, always let down by the cars! Top Gear has proven yet again Chris' bad luck continues in these events!!
As per usual a fantastic CH video. Almost looks like too much fun.
Great video. Again, the best show on Drive and best Automotive content on RUclips.
As always super high quality presenting, driving and subject matter!
Fantastic video. Many thanks for filming a race like this! Hope you guys can finish next year's race.
Race was lost but this video is a huge success. Lovely cinematography! Ultra shallow depth-of-field moments were beautiful!

Looks like an incredible experience. All the cars looked great and sounded even better. Shame you guys couldn't finish again. Keep the videos coming!

Great cinematography chaps! No really, some of the best car footage on th3 u-tubes. Chris Harris ... You win
It's an awesome feeling to see my dads old race car being driven as it should :D
Lovely video, thanks for sharing the experience.
So much fun to watch, thanks :)
You were asking too much from the car Chris .... What a a heroic act from all of you
Sensational. Best Drive video yet (and that is saying something).
So many beautiful cars
When I die, I want 'heaven' to be like this... Look. at all. those iconic. race cars.
So much fun to watch....so many awesome cars. It is just too bad how it ended for you guys but thats racing.
Great vid.
Pleasure to watch, as always.
I had my doubts about this one not being interesting, but you've proved me wrong Mr. Harris. Cool cool video.
I am becoming a huge Chris Harris FAN! he is creeping up on my level of TOP GEAR love! :)
Keep up the great Vids Chris.
Oh and Drive :)
The in-car shots in the Alfa were brilliant, more please!
Another winner. Two thumbs way up. This was a dream to watch - thanks @harrismonkey
I love it that they upload races to youtube... I live about as far from Australia as possible, and I've never been there, but Touring Car Masters is some of the coolest racing I've ever seen! I've got a 69 Camaro, and I so badly want to mix it up with those guys! I'd get slaughtered, but it would be a spectacular death!
one of your best vids yet
all those cars are brilliant looking.
Again , this is amazing footage ! Chriss rules !
I don't know how you do it, but your videos keep getting better. One of the few channels from which I genuinely can't wait to see updates. Love it!
great Video keep them coming - and good luck next year!
those minis are absolutely hilarious!
some lovely cars in this race. great video
What can I say that wasn't already said in the comments below! Great video, great work to the chris Harris crew! You guys do an amazing job!
Those GT 40's were gorgeous. I want one.
YES. So good to see Minis drive like that.
9:25 remembered me to "the italian job", all those mini's..there is incredible how good they seem to be..
Estupendos carrasos los Falcon y los Mustang 👍☺️👋🇲🇽💪
Chris, my friend, valiant effort and fantastic video.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Great video Chris, how can you not love Motorsport like this?
I've been here since day one and have to say that this is the best drive video of the lot!And i'm a leo parente fan!lol
Great job Drive,keep it up!!
loving these inside looks at real racing. can't wait till im rich and can afford this kind of hobby.
So much steering input needed. Incredible stuff.
That Falcon is a beast, love it.
Has Chris Harris ever had a race that's gone well?
Loved this.
