The front tire in the air doesn’t add much to the cornering ability, although it certainly looks dramatic. Years ago, watching Danny Sullivan driving a Cobra Daytona coupé on this track, sliding out to the edge of the track, time and again, that was a joy.
If the car is set up that way it's because it doesn't need more grip at the front and needs more at the rear. Roll stiffness reduces overall grip, so setting it higher at the front allows more grip at the rear to balance the front. Back in the old days this used to be a very common setup for Porsche 911 race cars, which would often lift the inside front wheel well off the ground at the cornering limit.
@@gort8203 It looks like there would be a risk of bending the chassis from all of that hard cornering. The front and rear were rolling over to different degrees. I know they didn't make the chassis back then quite as stiff as they manage today, so I just wonder if there is a danger to twist the frame left on a right bending course like this one?
@@saulekaravirs6585 A stiff chassis is essential to being able to fine tune the balance by varying the roll stiffness of one end or the other. The fact that a wheel is lifting off the ground is an indication of a stiff chassis -- if the chassis were twisting the wheel would remain on the ground. The Jaguar E-type had a relatively stiff monocoque chassis for its day, back when many other road cars still had a separate frame and body.

I remember a Car and Track article of Fangio driving his old Mercedes Formula One before a race in Argentina. The Mercedes engineers thought that he was just going to motor around the track waving to the crowd. Nope. The engineers hearts were in their throats as Fangio blasted through the corners in a 4-wheel drift and showing that he and the car still had it over 4 decades after the fact.
You wouldn't say "finally" (as if it's a rarity) if you had watched previous videos of Classic racing at Goodwood ... the cars are invariably pushed to the limit!
@@sirsmeal3192 You had the chance to buy an E-Type for 1100,- and went for a Fiat? The Jag is a 75k to 100k car, depending on spec and year. The Fiat 850 is worth about 20k if you're lucky.
"Running no springs, shocks or anti-sway bars, only spacers(!)" Where on earth are you getting that from? If the springs/dampers/and anti-roll bars were removed, and the suspension was mounted solidly - the car would go straight off the road.
@@RosaGamboa-u1f when I was 18, I almost bought a used 69 e type. The salesman literally talked me out of it, saying I that I didn’t know what I was getting myself into because the car was an investment and not a daily driver.
That is fantastic! The inside front wheel lifting reminds me of Charlie Chaplin's hopping turns. What a fantastic feel for that car being demonstrated here!
The most beautiful car ever apart from 1920s racing Bentleys like Brian. johnson has that i saw him drive on my way to work in 2012. Both the jag amd even the Bentley roarer werent slow even by todays standards.
wow, what a beautiful but terrifying race. i'd be very afraid to drive such a beautiful car in a race that could trash it with just some brief contact or slip up in a corner. very skilled driving on display here.
We watched Gordon lap the E-Type, visibly quicker and inch-perfect that race. Lap after lap, putting the car exactly where he wanted it. Turning the nose into the corner before the apex, four wheel drifting through, and using every last bit of tarmac on the exit. A delight to watch and a true master of his craft! 👏🏼🫡
If you like this, go find the Victory By Design clip of Alain DeCadenet driving a Jaguar Heritage E Type up the driveway at Goodwood - he wrung that cat's neck to an inch of it priceless life - E Types will dance if driven viciously!
Doesn't matter - the inside front wheel isn't doing anything; as you corner, the weight transfer is putting all the weight and grip onto the outside front wheel.
That’s a driver who is extremely confident of the exact limits of his car. I don’t know that the car itself makes the difference here, we’re watching a consummate driver.
You know...... this car was not designed and built for rappers, and singers and Hollywood "notables" it was mean to be driven. Sorry mates...but this car was built with a specific purpose and you are seeing it here. Delight to drive, you can push it beyond the standard fare because that was the whole idea in the first place. Just, nice.
Inner front wheel lifts obviously. Mounting a harder anti rol bar rear would create more transfer of anti roll to the rear and create earlier oversteer, isn't it? A tosion stiffer body would probably do more help.
Always buy from a real enthusiast. Do not get carried away by its looks. Make sure it has full MoT carried out by an E Type savvy tester. Mine had an MoT not worth the paper it was written on, because your modern MoT station does not know how to test correctly. Next, find a classic specialist to sort it out properly for you and maintain it ongoing.

Poetry in motion in a car that is an absolute timeless beauty.
It is indeed, until you compare it with the original Mk1 Ford Focus.

Front wheel actually leaving the track at times. Stunning.

Looks even better with the roof down.
That's certaintly a bold claim. I do like it but best looking car ever, yeesh.
Ballet dancing an E Type, amazing drive. Almost as amazing as the E Type itself, a beautiful unique design, a true masterclass in its time

Amazing driving. Using the whole track. Aero package and all.

Recipe for a beautiful lap:
(1) hot car with style
(2) run on three wheels
(3) sideways 50% of lap
(4) leave trunk open
That's not a trunk lid, that is an automatically adjustable wing.

The headline is correct. That's beautiful. Imagine how fast he could go if he had a car that has all four wheels on the ground, all the time?!

Absolutely fantastic. Why use four wheels when you can use three?
Right? Reduces friction so it makes you faster. =P

The boots not open, it's got active aero.
Since it’s not the only E with an open boot lid, it’s probably a way of dissipating some the heat from the diff and (inboard) discs?
Watch with the volume down
