Makes logical sense to have the weight of the water in the radiators at around midpoint in the car , for better rotation in corners. Interesting how it was easy on its tyres. Use of inboard brakes and torsion bar perhaps. Imagine if a modern f1 car reverted to inboard brakes. Might be possible with modern materials. Perhaps even harmess energy from the heat.

O carro do chefe

314/323 Would b my guess, but likely more like 280/300

Ok Alex if this is what we'll up with .. I need some life advice Brundle style!!!!

Can you start your DRS after clicking only 1 DRS pedal?

really cool to have this talk trough. Thanks for being honest as well. proper slow TV altough I don't thinks you want slow to be mentioned

Why didn't you guys keep an eye on the fuel pumps and give the driver a heads up to come in for fuel ????😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

An interview at the end with her impressions would have been brilliant. What a drive! Looking forward too seeing you at Spa in 2025!

The lotus JPS cars are the most beautiful cars ever.

But you gave them a run for their money! What a gorgeous gt40! Net time you’ll get it right!

If only Alonso had won the Indy 500, he would have achieved the real triple crown, along with Graham Hill.

There's no sound like a Ferrari the legendary Ferrari 512 M is a beast, Scuderia Ferrari.

'Hold on tight. I mean tight tight!' That tells her she's in for a RIDE!

Lovely bit of driving by Alex,, could we see another bundle in f1 in the future?. I do hope so!.

A great illustration of how driving one of these old yokes well is like playing a cross between a fiddle, a banjo and a drum kit at once and imbuing it with personality. Knowing when to let the front end travel a wee bit and then nip it all in with the rear, even the top gear wheel spin. It’s kind of mesmeric, you could almost zen like float off into forgetting you’re supposed to be catching the chap in front of you. Lovely stuff.

Haha you definitely turned it up a notch for that one!:) Better reaction than I got though when I last did the girlfriend laps (many years ago)... after two 'on it' laps I asked if she was okay and she said, "yeah fine, don't feel you have to hold back for me"!

Brundle.. NFN, Normal for Norflok.

awesome driving, i get the feeling the the reaction happened when she got out the car. It doesn't half shift for an old car

She won't lend him the car keys thats for sure..

Glorious Goodwood

Half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

What a fantastic video. I don’t know Alex’s girlfriend but boy, what a sport she is. Top drawer! So many in her position would have looked scared for their lives. She clearly trusts Alex and seems to actually enjoy it. So lovely to see. Thank you for sharing. Made me smile heaps!

I’m not sure I’ll get quite such quality content when I take my girlfriend on track in my Spec Miata!

What did she think was going to happen, a ride to Asda to do a shop?.... Old Fords Never Die... what a gorgeous lady.

I had the pleasure of 3d scanning that car up at team Lotus a few years ago now, not long after its restoration. Clive and the team were very welcoming and let us have a good look around the other cars as well.

I think a faster car is needed to complete this mission 😂

I’ve always wondered what drivers think of goodwood really as it’s 90% right handers?

When are you going to take over on comms from your dad on f1 when I hear you talk your just like your father, I couldn’t think of anyone better. Not that your dad needs to stop. But maybe you 2 could share different weekends.

Martin Brundle - The best sports commentator the world in my opinion. Martin, please never retire till you are at least 78 - one more year than Murray Walker!

Poor girl !! Grinning and bearing it literally !

It'll do that to ya!

So... race suit for Christmas?

Holding on for what? Isn't that what the belts are for?

"this ones a bit faster. Hold on tight...." - she's a keeper.

Nice one Alex, that was good wood 😂

Here in Australia we used to have an "80%" rule which effectively meant the driver was forced to go at such a low speed (8/10ths as it were) that no tyre was even allowed to have any slip angle if the track was dry. It made for very boring laps more like pace car laps but I suppose the rule existed due to fear of passenger injuries. I never ever bothered going on any "ride" myself for that reason - rather pointless and insulting and no way for the driver to even remotely convey what it is actually like to drive a car at a race pace. I am not sure if the "rule" still exists but judging but what I have seen, it still does in this country.

"Er, why do you get a full race suit and i get a t-shirt?"

Me: 1 Track Day co-drive should be a prerequisite before every marriage proposal...

No offence, but I'd swear blind that wasn't Goodwood, rather Hardwick and the A149. You did well, I'd have expected far more traffic unless you went for it dead of night!

Like father, like son ! It's hammer time !😅😅

Thar's one way of describing it. I think it's very wonderful that a couple can share a passion and trust that says, you know I love and trust you so yeah! lets go for it! I think next time Alex needs to be the passenger.

Barely a flinch.. definitely a keeper !

Now that makes all the right noises

Not a glimmer of fright, you failed Jnr 🤣

This is hilarious. 😂

Well done Amber, you did great!

I think she did great. It's really difficult to be a passenger in a real racing car. You don't know what the car is capable of and it's difficult to prepare yourself for each change of direction. Braking is especially tough, as it's so violent when done at racing speeds.

At first, when I saw his helmet and last name. I thought it was Martin and he had divorced his wife and had a new, much younger girlfriend. At first.

Wow - she stayed very composed given it was clearly a full-on experience for her. And you weren’t holding back! Fair play :-D

Not holding back…!
