Swift putting on a driving clinic as usual. This man is 💯 the reason I’m getting into racing minis. Ever since I saw him in a goodwood video giving the big V8 cars a fit and going through corners on 3 wheels. Truly a legend and the king of Minis.

Excellent race by a very skilled driver, I'll bet with a little more 'free license' that engine could murder those fords!, I'm torn because i love both those classics, best of an era.

Ok what you need to do is just as the Cortina's are getting squirrelly at the apex a gentle push in the direction of travel ought to sort them 🙂

In about 1994 or so I brought my 1989 mini in for a Swiftune 1380cc / Kent 286 / JKD 5sp SCCR gearbox… oh happy days. Should never have sold it.

Brings me back to my days at RAF Bentwaters in the 80’s, I had a 1275 then, put some coin and blood into it, it was wicked fast, I kiss that car every time I see these turn key sports cars now, racing over there was based on passion and innovation, not just programming, lol! Thanks for the smashing videos, and keep up the great work!!! 👍👍👍

This is when racing was at its best, nowadays it's becoming too uniformed and quite frankly a little boring, a combination of modern cars and even worse electric cars has made a deserter out of me, I love Goodwood my favourite is the hill climb, but mixed racing still excites me.

High rev and stable sounds proves it is very tough engine as well as strong gear box inside !

Most excellent . Proves a mini is the most fun you can have with your trousers on .Bravo .

Needs more speed on the straights. Try magnesium pistons and magnesium conrods next. The lower the reciprocating weight the more power. If the "rules" allow it of course.......
