Triumph meets disaster | 2023 Gordon Spice Trophy final full race | 80MM

- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- After the heats of the Gordon Spice Trophy we didn't think things could get any more hectic for our touring car legends. But it turned out they very much could. Two red flags, incidents and upturned cars put a downer on what was an incredible race, but among the chaos the Camaros, Minis, Mustangs and co. really put on a show.

Oh Jack...
Superb racing. How it should be. These classics being driven at the limit. Proper stuff. Gordon Spice would be proud.
Seeing these cars racing instead of being stored in a garage is so cool!
Went off racing for years. This just brought me back. Love those raspy sounds
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 🎉
F What ? More interest and excitement in one lap than a whole race from the processional Prima Donnas 🥱
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!!
Amazing race. Hill's onboard, after he came back on track, should be a video of its own. That would be a wild ride.
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. 👌❤️
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.

I stopped watching when they started using hatchbacks
@@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.
Some of the most intense driving I've ever seen. Wow!
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.
@@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. 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.
@@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?
This is hands down my favorite racing ever.
Excitement from start to finish. This is what motor racing is all about. Bravo to all involved in giving us this great racing.
This is more exciting then F1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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
Absolutely amazing race and what a simply glorious noise.
OK so who left the dipstick out of the Capri?
Love the Volvo holding off the Camaro. New cars n drivers is great...
Swedish road block
@@userer4579 the best kind of roadblock
Should have given the checkered flag, not the red.
So, who won? The video sort of ended quite abruptly?
His smokescreen tactic didn't work ultimately but you have to applaud him for giving it a go 👍
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!
Don’t understand why the lending capri wasn’t called in sooner!
Well, that was superb!
One heck of a race .
Right down to the wire 😂
smokey = BLACK FLAG - spilling oil = means your out !
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!!!!!!
Capri smoking like a Gitanes
Oh yeah the Camaros, minis and Capris really did put on a show 👨🦰
It’s a mk2 Scirocco
Jake would have done the biz....looked like a valve cover breather was loose !!
THIS IS BEST THAN FORMULA 1
Wonder what they did to instantly cure the smoking Capri, anyone know?
Yes
Stuffed an Alan key in the dipstick hole.
Essex engines have a habit of leaking out the dipstick so they remove it and put a bung in. The bung fell out and a very conveniently sized Alan key fit the hole.
Failed to mention Mike Whittaker in the Rover racing hard!!! 🎉👨⚖
the 1955 3 wheel, Isetta 1 cylinder Bubble Car would kick their arses
FFS what was the final result???
Gave it to the bastos camaro on count back. very unfair
It's a Scirocco mk2 not mk1✌🏻
Jake Hill is amazing! the guy just is flying through the corners.
Great race...
Grande duello
Waht the heck class is this. anything made in. qty after 1974 and before 1990? Camero against a VW Rabbit??
Up to 1980? THat's a Mk 1 Golf. They originate from late seventies
..... that start from the Capri. Driven by the Professionals?
Of course the Capri is smoking... it does have Gitane advertising on the side....
That cannot be a capri in front as it went around a corner
Modern racing tyre compound and suspension mods. Works every time.
@@phildavenport4150 They were famous for being in a ditch on a corner back in the day and the 2.8i would fishtail in the wet . Glad to hear there sorted !
Surely the Americans can see how much better their cars are with a manual transmission fitted.
Jake Hill going FULL SEND
It makes you want to buy a Capri 😁.
Of course the Gitanes car is smoking, what did you expect?
Wait, did they forget to replace the dipstick in Jake Hills car before the race?
more likely the oilcap....
@@stratman9449 I'm definitely not known for my mechanic savvy😅 just saw the guy gesturing for the dipstick when he pitted
No you're right it was the dipstick.
Essex engines leak out the tube at higher RPMS, so they remove it and replace it with a fixed bung. It fell out at some point.
Errr..... The Volvo 240 came (as standard) with 4-pot brakes and 2-pot rears.
Later 740's/760's had $|-|1TTT'/ one/two sliding-potters.
I warned my ex-gf to be careful as I'd 'modified' the brakes/tyres.
'03 Avensis with HEL hoses, unbelieavably expensive Dunlop (semi-race) tyres, etc..
Told the insurance company: No problem: no increase in premium.
Oh! I also replaced the suspension with coil-overs.
So I get pulled dozens of times by police because I was driving EXACTLY the speed limit in what looked that a completely standard.
Learn before you spout and learn how to build a 100bhp+ M11 Golf..........
the cap
0:17. "Super Quickly" ? What sort of commentary is that.
I do wish the UFO BMW E12 would do better.
Oh just horrible watching the Camaro crumple up like that - horrible !
Aller ford fiesta capri
these boring yanktanks shouldn't be allowed
Why would you race in an American car? LOL!
Shitloads of horsepower, modern racing rubber, modern brake pads and subtle suspension mods. Plus Goodwood helps big cars.
Ford 🤭☺😅🤣😂😂🤣
Whats the point in the red flag instead of chequered. Mustang should have won
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.
@@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.
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.
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?
Damn, if only modern motorsport was this exciting...
Minis are just incredible racing cars, the total volume of the Mini seems less than the engine capacity of the V8s🤡
That drive by Jake Hill was incredible. Drove that thing like a man possessed
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 😂
@@Galerak1Well noticed. What a frustrating mistake.
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
what's the point of a red flag when everyone is on the last lap??
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.
Capri should have been pulled in straight away
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!
Shepherd was robbed.
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.
Volvo looks to be overdamped and too low for the bumps on the track.
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.
Absolutely insane race! Wow this is why I watch. ❤🏁🍾
You know you're old when the cars you drove in high school are classics! Great racing!
So what happened to the Triumph, where was the disaster?
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.
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?
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 😂
I'm such an idiot! I'm watching this, thinking, "Where's the TRIUMPH???".
It is intensely annoying to cut away from any race like that. WHY???
very exciting...great finish too....i'd love to see Nick Swift beat them all....
Man what a battle at a beautiful track
daffodils and all.....
People talk about “ Motorsport Racing “ this is exactly what that is !
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
feel faster than f1 !
Definitely more entertaining
"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"......
Well that was spicy! Thank you Goodwood for making this available.
Should have been yours Fred. Will come and say hello to Andy next month. JD
Did I miss something ... where did the Triumph meet disaster?
That capri was really living up to its Gitanes livery
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😢
Caprice driver is a real sod. Oiling the track from the moment he left the mock grid. Probably caused the carnage. Track officials should have called him in on the first lap.
8:24 Properly Racing perfect races
Dents or not, that Capri driven by hill is one of the most godawful ugly machines ever put on a race track. What a depressing eyesore.
Little mini Clubman intimidating a V8 Rover sd1 who would have thunk it☺️
Apparently the drivers behind the smokey Capri could tell on their windscreens that there wasn't oil being laid down.
Hill shouldn't have been allowed to remain on track those first three laps or should he have disregarded those behind him
He's/She's deploying a smoke screen, lol
