Superb drive by Jake Hill 👏 The whole field was full of great racing action and great to see these cars out on track being superbly driven hard, Wonderful Racing 🎉
Late seventies, early eighties I saw those Ford Capri Belga & BBL, BMW Luigi, Chevy Camaro Bastos and so many Volvo, VW Sirocco, etc at the 24hrs of Spa-Francorchamps. Those cars were so fun to drive and to watch. At the time racing drivers knew how well to handle a manual gear box.
Took them over 30 seconds to red-flag the race after the Golf spill and 5 seconds after the Camaro crash. There was no reason to red-flag on the last lap other than to disadvantage the rightful winner who kept his car on the track. The Mustang should have won.
Actually, the immediately obvious barrier damage after the Camaro incident meant the field needed to be slowed before they reached Woodcote. Both reds were thrown as soon after race control saw the incidents.
@@TheValKBawz Driver safety. Until he was out of the Camaro and obviously unharmed, the only sensible flag was red - to enable the firies/medics to get there ASAP without getting grief from race cars. A yellow would have been OK if the Camaro had just hit the barrier and stopped upright. It was clear of the track and not an obstruction to race cars.
Ooh man i love this proper racing. Nothing beats it. Superb drivers, real old school race cars. So much fun to watch. Goodwood festival is on my list. 👌❤️
Wonderful race, thanks for posting these. Just one request though @Goodwood Road & Racing; would it be possible to show a 10 second shot of the classified results at the end?
@@mick8473 I am dreading the next step as manufacturers are getting rid of hatchbacks for SUV's and the teams have less choice of saloon or hatchbacks to choose from and will be forced to race SUV's. It will become the BTSC (British Touring SUV Championship) if it happens.
@@bentullett6068 To be fair the mid SUVs are closer to Touring cars than when the hatchbacks like Vauxhall Astra came in. Although the newer Honda Civics are now back to Touring saloon style. I think I last watched when Jason Plato won in an Astra.
Agreed. And looking at the hand signals when he was in the pits (5:10) it looked to me like someone had forgotten to replace the dipstick. If so I wonder if they're still sat on the naughty step 😂
I agree. I’ve never seen a race red-flagged so quickly and what’s the point of red-flagging the race when there are 20 cars bearing down on the finish line? Deeply suspicious
I don't think there's anything suspicious at play and I think it's better to assume incompetence or a simple mistake over malace and something going on behind closed doors. I think the logic the race directors were going with was the golf's incident and the Camaro's incident were virtually identical. And if they gave a red flag for the Golf's crash then by the same standards they had to red flag the Camaro's crash as well. I think they were also concerned how well drivers would stick to just waved yellows compared to a red and if another car went off and hit the Camaro it would have been very VERY ugly.
It's standard for them to Red flag a race with cars on track as the field is neutralised. And they routinely use a count back if a race is in the last few laps. They look who was 1st on the last lap and they win.
That was crazy how fast that Camaro flipped on to it's roof! They did the Mustang/Huff wrong with that call, the official at the entrance to the chicane was still holding out a Green flag after the crash...🤔 But I don't have an official rule book either.😏
You can't have a green flag after a red. All cars must immediately stop racing and return to somewhere specified. However, if the organisers want to declare the places at some earlier point, like the end of the previous lap, that's the only way that the race could be deemed to have finished.
This track is just straight, I don't even know how it lasted so long, this problem initially seemed like a problem with the wheel or front brake, congratulations to the driver!!!!!!
so had the car that went off just before the finish line causing the red flag been in front by a nose the lap prior he would have won the race even though he caused the crash that made the red flag come out? and he was the only car not able to cross the finish line?? pull the other one! call that fair!
Isn’t it great to see all these different sizes different shapes racing, Volvo, GLT racing a Camaro with a mark one Fiesta and a mark one VW sirocco in front of them, just dreamy😢
I enjoyed that race so much up in till the last lap. The top two caused the crash so the race should had finished under the chequered flag. Totally unfair on the actually winner who was robbed. Ruined the race for me shame.
Oh Jack...
I feel bad for Jack
Wow, how I love historic racing! This is a million times better than racing modern cars.
Yes!! More Sound better drift and the cars Look 100 Time better than today!!
Superb racing. How it should be. These classics being driven at the limit. Proper stuff. Gordon Spice would be proud.
Damn, if only modern motorsport was this exciting...
Seeing these cars racing instead of being stored in a garage is so cool!
Man, what pure bliss! THIS is what makes people fans of racing! Those engine sounds! The down shifting, the handling, superb all around!
Thank you!
Superb drive by Jake Hill 👏

You know you're old when the cars you drove in high school are classics! Great racing!

Went off racing for years. This just brought me back. Love those raspy sounds
That was the absolute best finish ever from a race that had action from the beginning
Um, didn't finish - red flagged.
Worst finish* but great up until the last 5 meters of the race
F What ? More interest and excitement in one lap than a whole race from the processional Prima Donnas 🥱
Amazing race. Hill's onboard, after he came back on track, should be a video of its own. That would be a wild ride.
Wow these drivers must be congratulated as a group, great driving at the absolute limit in a classic car. The stuff of dreams for the older folk.

@@GoodwoodRR And why would a yellow flag starting on the Lavant straight not have been adequate in this situation?
i'd go with that too...
@@TheValKBawz Driver safety.

@@GoodwoodRR stop trying to defend a simple mistake, that's not when a red flag should come out and you KNOW it.
5 meters before the finish?

Great racing, shows what is missing from tightly controlled championships such as f1 these days
The British Touring Car Championship is still pretty much like this sort of racing.
@@bentullett6068 They could use some btcc cars to counter those v8 missiles.
@@bentullett6068
I stopped watching when they started using hatchbacks

Absolutely insane race! Wow this is why I watch. ❤🏁🍾
That drive by Jake Hill was incredible. Drove that thing like a man possessed

@@Galerak1Well noticed. What a frustrating mistake.
Show this on a pub TV just before an F1 race. People will be glued to the screen, getting involved, then wander off 10 mins after the F1 race starts.
Excitement from start to finish. This is what motor racing is all about. Bravo to all involved in giving us this great racing.
Well that was spicy! Thank you Goodwood for making this available.
Some of the most intense driving I've ever seen. Wow!
This is hands down my favorite racing ever.
Absolutly the best racing ever...
Not only at the Goodwood meeting but anywhere !!! The whole race was awsome...
The smoke of the Capri comes out of one of his leaking NOS bottles.
Is THAT why the drivers behind him were laughing their faces off?
Absolutely amazing race and what a simply glorious noise.
This is more exciting then F1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People talk about “ Motorsport Racing “ this is exactly what that is !
Whats the point in the red flag instead of chequered. Mustang should have won

@@andylewis7360 got to feel for the mustang. Started sixteenth then won the race only to be Michael Massied by the officials
Cars coming down the Lavant Straight with severe barrier damage at Woodcote.

Wild!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much Goodwood R&R and RUclips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t understand why the lending capri wasn’t called in sooner!
Your are best goodwood festival of speed ❤
This is the members meeting if I’m not mistaken, we still have the festival of speed to look forward too come June, if memory serves correct.
@@davidstair8936 ok thank you
Man what a battle at a beautiful track
daffodils and all.....
His smokescreen tactic didn't work ultimately but you have to applaud him for giving it a go 👍
Capri should have been pulled in straight away
OK so who left the dipstick out of the Capri?
That capri was really living up to its Gitanes livery
Love the Volvo holding off the Camaro. New cars n drivers is great...
Swedish road block
@@userer4579 the best kind of roadblock
This is motor racing!!! From Cape Town South Africa...the days of the Ford Capri 🥰
Should have given the checkered flag, not the red.
what's the point of a red flag when everyone is on the last lap??
From a time in pass where there cars looks 100 times better than today! Much more genial sound and more Action on track!!
That was crazy how fast that Camaro flipped on to it's roof!
They did the Mustang/Huff wrong with that call, the official at the entrance to the chicane was still holding out a Green flag after the crash...🤔

Proper exciting racing i've seen in years
Oh the gymnastic duo…YES PLEASE
This track is just straight, I don't even know how it lasted so long, this problem initially seemed like a problem with the wheel or front brake, congratulations to the driver!!!!!!
Minis are just incredible racing cars, the total volume of the Mini seems less than the engine capacity of the V8s🤡
very exciting...great finish too....i'd love to see Nick Swift beat them all....
Well, that was superb!
Wow now that’s what I call racing. Little bitty tiny cars keeping up with the big American muscle that’s awesome
Brilliant!
Amazing what a race 🏁
Superb racing 👌🏻😎
One heck of a race .
Right down to the wire 😂
Wow ❗️
Most interesting race - from beginning to end.
🚗🙂
so had the car that went off just before the finish line causing the red flag been in front by a nose the lap prior
he would have won the race even though he caused the crash that made the red flag come out?
and he was the only car not able to cross the finish line??
pull the other one! call that fair!
So, who won? The video sort of ended quite abruptly?
Triumph meets Disaster! Love it.
WOW ‼️
What a race❗️
📻🙂
Should have been yours Fred. Will come and say hello to Andy next month. JD
If the cars were not so rare and costly to repair I would be screaming for this to be made a full series every year.
That was a beauty 👍🇦🇺❤️
Oh yeah the Camaros, minis and Capris really did put on a show 👨🦰
Cracking stuff.. !
Shepherd was robbed.
Fantastic stuff. How is that Capri so damn fast?
Also, he placed a smokescreen behind him!
Engines put out the most power, just before they blow up!
by blowing a lot of smoke out the back.....
Volvo looks to be overdamped and too low for the bumps on the track.
Capri smoking like a Gitanes
Jake would have done the biz....looked like a valve cover breather was loose !!
8:24 Properly Racing perfect races
That is awesome
Take the basket off the front and put it in the back
Changes it from Nanna spec to grandpa Ute 😂
Any update on the marshall who was squashed by the golf on it's side?
I was there - Saw him hobble away seemingly ok.
Yes,it was his feet
Isn’t it great to see all these different sizes different shapes racing, Volvo, GLT racing a Camaro with a mark one Fiesta and a mark one VW sirocco in front of them, just dreamy😢
Unbelievable !!!
Hilarious the Z28's got all those cubic inches and bald eagles and freedom and can't put 10 seconds between them and a mini or Ford fiesta 😂
It’s a mk2 Scirocco
smokey = BLACK FLAG - spilling oil = means your out !
It's glorious seeing a car slide as its driven on the limits. These are proper racing cars. I hate driver aids.
Apparently the drivers behind the smokey Capri could tell on their windscreens that there wasn't oil being laid down.
I remember some of these cars as slot cars, preferably from Aurora.
Great race...
The kind of racing where the driver was using a torque wrench the night before, not lounging in his penthouse suite
So what happened to the Triumph, where was the disaster?
"CamEro" and "SHirocco" - dear oh dear - someone PLEASE tell young Harry to get his pronunciations sorted!" Great racing!
thats the brits for you...wait till they talk about our "porschas"......
the 1955 3 wheel, Isetta 1 cylinder Bubble Car would kick their arses
Jake Hill is amazing! the guy just is flying through the corners.
THIS IS BEST THAN FORMULA 1
I enjoyed that race so much up in till the last lap. The top two caused the crash so the race should had finished under the
chequered flag. Totally unfair on the actually winner who was robbed. Ruined the race for me shame.
Great racing, what tyres are they using on the camaros and mustang?
the round rubbery ones....
Every car in the race uses the same tyres. They're classic Dunlop racing tyres.
@@stratman9449 best comment I've read in a long time.
Acon you gonna Looock uuuppp!!!
Oversized oil filter catching on nearside downpipe? My V6 did that. Car hadn't been bumped in the side tho!
Grande duello
It is intensely annoying to cut away from any race like that. WHY???
やっぱりツーリングカーレースは車高高くてロールしながらスライドコントロールてのが迫力あります。
WTCRもこれ位のクルマでやって欲しい。
I wish I had said that...
I'm such an idiot! I'm watching this, thinking, "Where's the TRIUMPH???".
What is the difference between the Goodwood revival and the Goodwood festival of speed?
Great video again but an advert just 1min 22 seconds in? Really?
..... that start from the Capri. Driven by the Professionals?
