Brilliant racing until the end. These videos are fantastic.
Sensational Drivers Guiding Brilliant Cars- Just the Best Racing Ever!
This is the BEST kind of racing. Nascar, F1, none of them can even come close to this kind of enjoyment and excitment!
true
This is old style NASCAR style cars ... especially the Galaxie 500s ... they cleaned up in 1963 with the 427 FE
Those '65 Mustangs have the right size on this track.
what a great field of classic american muscle V8's and what a fantastic noise!
That Barracuda 🤤
Now that's proper racing. Superb
Heavy & slide-y American muscle...love it!
they're not that heavy, they're around the 2500lb-3000lb range
What an absolute delight to watch! There must be close on a million quids worth going around the track and they're not afraid to use them for what they were built for, rather than be hermetically sealed in a plastic bubble in an air conditioned vault!
So there is where all the 289s are.
Great race.
Those RHD Mustangs are very cool.
Awesome event.. love watching it annually, since many many drivers don't hold back. Even though cars are extremely old fashioned, or expensive, or difficult to drive.. jolly good
Difficult to drive is very apt .
Some muscle cars were built for straight line 1/4 mile runs , not cornering . They were heavy in the rear to increase traction on launch , which actually ruins it's cornering , by causing pretty dramatic over steering . Sometimes it is seen as extremely rapid loss of control in corners . Another contributor to the wierd handling of these cars is frame rigidity, rear diff. set up . The motor wants to twist the front end of the car under load , causing uneven pressure on rear tires . It takes some really cleverness to drive like these bat nuts lunatics .
You should check out the Rolex Monterey Motorsport reunion. I can say with first hand experience that it is truly amazing
Been to a few reunions and many times at Le Mans.. There's always something that stands out. Usually it's a spectator which drove the car there.
But I got a feeling that Goodwood is a hotspot for these unique or quirky cars
@@texasdeeslinglead2401 the weight really has a lot to say.. figures. But also the low rpm torque, in the engines and transmission setup can be dramatic.
It's racing with more to it. Will the brakes last.. tyres/tires and how sensitive the throttle, steering and redline is
The white #5 is a Studebaker.
And it held its own!!!
Obviously
Really, it was obvious? Thanks for the intelligent comment.
A '64-'66 model. Studebaker's last of the last.
They started in the 1800 building horse-drawn carriages.
Driven hard like they should be!
Old Fords never die...
I remember when falcons couldn’t be given away lol
That wasn't so long ago in Australia!
I wish they would race round body falcons
Trouble was you could not get a decent engine in a Falcoon. The K code 271 horse 289 was only available in the Fairlane and Mustang in ‘65. Early ‘64 Mustangs only came with 6’s or 260 ci v8’s. Neither had much power.
I need to go there...before i die!
fun to watch! Although in the U.S. the big block Galaxie would have been a NASCAR contender (7 liter limit at the time) and not mixed in with these pony cars, which would have raced with small blocks (5 liter limit) in the SCCA TransAm series. plus there would have been a lot more A-body Mopars instead of this lone Barracuda. And Studebaker had already ended production by the start of the TA series. However, its great to see them driven in anger in any configuration now. In the states the SOVREN series has a Group 5 class that has a good mix of these cars...you have to wear ear plugs!
Steve S In Europe, 4 Holman Moody lightweight cars were sent over in 1963 to compete against jaguars domination of british and European racing. The galaxies at the hands of great racing drivers such as Jack Sears, Jim Clark, and many more, were wildly sucessful. The Shepherd Galaxie is one of those original 4 that ended up with the late Alan Mann, and after it’s extensive racing acted as a brake development car for the (at the time) new GT40 program.
I visit The Mitty at Road Atlanta every chance I get to watch a SVRA event. Drivers here that really race are just a few. Drivers at Goodwood seem to have more balls and are not afraid to rub fenders on these expensive machines.
Studebaker ended production in '64 in the USA, '66 in Canada.
I see a Studebaker but no Rambler ??
A 1963-4 Classic or Ambassador might be the choice but it would take a considerable amount of modification before one would even be close to being competitive.
Thought I was watching the great space race for a second with all those galaxy vs mercury commentating lol
I love hearing all the windsors tearing around. Then in the middle there is a great gurgling FE thundering away.
I love those FE Fords.
I swapped a jet engine out of the lunar module in my Mustang last spring, and the chicks really dig me. My uncle used to work at NASA and he got it for me.
Is there rulebook for these cars somewhere? Very curious to see what the class rules were on this.
it is british, brits have no clue they calls everything with a V8 a musclecar
@@64fairlane305 trust me, we know what they are, bloody good scrap value! 😂
@@MrCh33s Shots fired 😅
No rules actually. Anything goes except the tires. Tires size determined by vehicle weight, per rules formula.
I put a jet engine in my Mustang last spring, and the chicks really dig me.
Wow, what a race!!!!
All of these races were beautyful but this was the most exciting one ( * Soper fan here so a bit biased maybe)
Wow, a lot of straight-line cars making turns. I'm disappointed not to see more representation of the many muscle cars of the period. Mustangs galore! No AMX or Javelins?
@@woodrims I believe that this is pre 1966/65 cars which leaves those models out
@@stevebengel1346 Aha, you're right. The Road Runner, Cuda, and many others' hayday was late '60s. Darn. At least I was around then to enjoy them.
@@woodrims I wondered why I wasn't seeing any GM or other Chrysler cars myself so I started looking into it and then I found out 🫣
Great racing
Is the red and gold livery of the 6 and 9 cars a tribute to Alan Mann Racing of Byfleet? Or are they actually ex Mann cars?
Those cars are run now by Alan Mann racing, which still exists and races regularly in historic motorsport.
Remember when America loved cars like this?
GO mustang ?
Awesome! The tires look fairly narrow. Can anyone tell me what size and type are generally used? Particularly the Falcons and Comet. Thanks
these guys need to race in Australia
dax2321 we already have a healthy Touring Car Masters series, muscle cars are alive and well down under. Plenty of videos on youtube.
Is there something about the weather over there that allows so many of these beauties to not only survive but be so plentiful that they are commissioned for hazardous race duty?
No my friend its damp over here, these cars are loved and cherished
Why aren't Chrysler cars racing as well? Where are the Mopars?
There is at least one in the field. At about 3:18 the announcer mentions the silver “BarracyoooDA” going through the chicane.
How is the pilot?
Haha he referred to the Galaxy as an aircraft carrier.😅
( C5 ) Galaxie
This is fucking amazing.
There needs to be a Bullitt '68 Dodge Charger being chased by a Bullitt '68 Mustang on the track.
only one a body mopar? thats strange.
2, there was an early dart too
This and South Eastern Gassers ROCKS. Everything else is a joke; where has this been all my life. I'm going to England now.
Great!!
Too bad the Camaros can't run in the Pierpoint. I would love to see them door to door with the Mustangs.
BTW what do the letters in the parenthesis mean?
I wondered that myself so did a bit of Googling.The letters refer to the four houses of Goodwood - Methuen
Torbolton, Darnley and Aubigny. They battle for a trophy with points coming from the races as well as other activities.Check out the article in this link:www.goodwood.com/grrc/event-coverage/members-meeting/2017/3/75mm--the-house-prizegiving/
Hi, that's which house they are in.
slowhoon thx for sharing
And ricers say muscle can't race.
Mr. Cairo Still muscle. You can't classify a muscle car by its make and model. Most of these are all heavy cars fitted with V8's, made for straight line performance. And that's what a muscle car is.
We came up with the term muscle cars! And other cars mentioned here aren't in very high favor over there. Has nothing to do with muscle there.
@@HenauderTitzauf what would you call it then genius?
And that's why they're called ricers and not racers.
Hmmm throw in a Datsun 240z and a Toyota 2000 and it'll easily mix with the top.. perhaps not on this particular track. The Mini's keep up quite well with the 3x bigger engines, in other videos
*happy Wendigo noises*
Only Ford's?
I've never heard of these people or do I know the outcome of this race but if it was the end at the red flag #6 Steve Won that race.
No Aussie V8s?
I think,Graham, it's possibly up to you to make that change! That would indeed be a great race and add a lovely new angle.
Unfortunately, other commitments mean I have a Bore-wagen Golf.... But the Aussie Ford Falcon XY GTHO III would bring something to the party👍
@@grahamvernon5030 I remember visiting family in Brisbane back in the eighties and a cousin taking me out to meet his friends, or, as my uncle used to say, 'those hoons in their Holdens', still, up until that point I had always thought that the Mad Max films were science fiction!
Racing as a full contact sport.
Not one Chevy!!! Sad😳
Kennith Chapman None would start 🤷♂️
I love rhe falcons cheapest ford car ar the time
Camaro? I guess they did not want to get beat
Daddy hermanson There’s a bunch in the pits, but they wouldn’t start.
@@MisterTwister88 very funny .. lol
Changing the steering wheel from the stock form is truly for weak people. Right hand drive Mustang? Yes its your car. Do as you please. Still weak.👎😬. Great racing👍😎.
We drive on the left so some of the few Mustangs exported here were often factory converted in the USA for export to UK. Therefore the RHD ones are period correct, not to mention that since our road courses run clockwise it makes sense here just as the counter clockwise NASCAR courses a the rule in the USA for the same reason.
No Aussie V8s. Fail. Aussie muscle can actually turn in both directions.
Ohh... so THATS what heaven looks/sounds like!
I LOVE old school V8s... I watched this race with decent, bass enhanced earphones, for the sake of that magnificent soundtrack... That’s *a must* for the Goodwood Revival... Every time a group of these powerful monsters swept past the camera, they sounded like a mix between a pride of snarling, angry Lions and a flight of bellicose, fire breathing Dragons! 😂👍
Me too! They sound awesome!
I put a jet engine in my Mustang last spring, and the chicks really dig me.
@@dannymccarty344 😂 Being able to barbecue chicken wings at the tailpipe, probably helps with your kerb appeal too… 😉👍
Damn that was awesome! I just love watching that Galaxie
Fantastic how evenly matched these beasts are. This makes my Dad weep. Great stuff! Sweet memories from a much more innocent time.
Brings me back to when nascar wasn't dead
Wow!! These boys are serious!! Hard to watch when they trade paint!! Amazing driving!! V8's pounding the pavement. Super fast big heavy cars. Love tap?
17 year old Dutch kid racing an old Stang at Goodwood, how the hell did he end up doing that!? haha.
One thing is for sure, he's incredibly good at it. He also normally paired with his father driving an AC Cobra 289 successfully in historic races, his father is quick, but he's even quicker!
@@jcgabriel1569 Turns out, his father is one of the richest people in the Netherlands.
@@jody024 No wonder, recently they were using other machinery, like a Bizzarini... He had deep pockets for those things then...
@@jody024 I've beaten him, at the last 3 races.
I put a jet engine in my Mustang last spring, and the chicks really dig me.
This is incredibly awesome, finally a proper race thank you!
Bummer about the red and gold Falcon - I've always had a weakness for the 1964s and 1965s.
This is 1000 times better than F1, Rally and other racing!
Impressive how the Galaxie looks huge even in the midst of its "colleagues" lol
Makes all the other cars look like "compacts"!
that's because it is huge!
Galaxie is a fullsize car where as the Mustang was considered a compact/pony car at the time it came out.
@@asd36f mustang was a compact car in America
I drive a ‘66 mustang coupe and this plus the GT40 races are my favorites. Great fun watching them battle it out! I’m in Georgia, USA. 66 years young too! Love Goodwood racing!
What a beautiful sound, a V8 racing. Tuned and what a growl.
LOVE watching those four wheel drifts in and out of the corners !!
Did Ford import Mustangs to the Brits? I see several RH drives.
David Coggins we stole the colonies they stole some cars we called it even
From memory LHD has never been an issue in the UK. It was in Australia, until about 10 years ago most states made you convert them. It's possible they came via Australia.
Made for the Australian market. Possibly even made in Australia.
I love that Studebaker Lark.
Love the Studebakers, I wonder which engine it has?
I think Stude had their own 289.
Waitin for Bill Sheppard to make his move in that big ol 427 Galaxie!
A parade of Fords makes you want to root for the Studebaker and the Mopars.
I really hope that they are allowed to use upgraded break shoes/pads in this class. I can smell the break fade from here.
Looks like the cutoff on this was about 1965 or maybe 1966 model year? Not seeing any GM products in there, interestingly.
Ufffff the sound of roaring v8 ahhhh music 😎😍😍😍😍
Almost every car there a Ford/Mercury. Just one Dodge, one Stude.
I wanna see a Super bird , a couple of GTOs , Ramblers , Camero SS , and falcons . And for Petes sake , where's the corvettes ?
What about a few cobras
Have you not looked at this channel?
They have everything!
How about some R-3 powered Studebaker Avanti's?
the noise coming from these cars is just astonishing, I love it!
Funny how they call the Falcons ‘Big’... in the world of american cars it’s a compact.. bet that old Galaxie scared the hell out of them!
Yeah no kidding!!😂😂😂
@@feydespiel. I love watching the vintage races from the 60’s and 70’s, love watching the Aussies at Bathurst, it is an awesome track!
That was fun to watch!
V-8's Make The Best Noise!
The sound is incredible.
Blow me. I thought the world had forgotten Roy Pierpoint, I have his autograph from a Crystal Palace meeting in the late 60s.
How popular is the muscle car scene in the uk and The rest of Europe?
surprisingly
Another reason why I love fords!!!...awesome video!!!
Racing cars doing what they should by power sliding, over steering and hopping through corners unlike today’s Scalextric clones.
Geoff Halstead it could be, quite possibly, maybe just because.... they have aero components today
aefuze
Agree, and destroyed the sport in the process.
Any overtaking is now done by punting/nudging the car in front either off of the island or into a slide or spin‼️
Stopped watching F1 & ALL modern saloon car racing years ago and don’t miss either, and that says something from an ex-Flag Marshall in the ‘60s and saloon car racer in the 70s.
F1 should be called the ‘Aeroputer Championship’
@@geoffhalstead1811That's something i could agree on. I think minor league racing is more entertaining to watch now since that where people really go all out on their cars!
aefuze
Forgot to mention the utter stupidity of the FIA’s moronic DRS, thought up by idiots instead of fixing the broken fundamentals, as where their horrendous ‘crash fences’, which says it all about that organisation.
@@geoffhalstead1811 Just because they don't slide is bad? Have you seen IMSA?
10:10 Power vs handling.
Mustangs are fairly pleasing to look at compared to the ugly shit they are racing against.
YEEEEEES!!! proper muscle cars, fuck restomods
The sound.
Studabaker doing well???
Love the Galaxies, what a brute !!!...love it ,not a mopar in sight!!!.
there's a Barracuda
Grahame Bryant's I think
And a Dart.
No Dart Studebaker
@@josephmclennan1229 There is a Dart, looks like a '63?
Love the sounds!
These American cars look so big compared to European ones.
Why is there always a car that is faster than the rest? Surely it's not just down to how good the driver is. It's as if the car has more power/speed than the rest.
Jjj
This muscle car race turned into a rallycross race.
No Nova?
A little surf'n-turf there towards the end with some Mustangs.
Thats not a 63 Studebaker its a 64 or 65
What a WONDERFUL race!
