10:13

[@siraff4461]

10:14 - fully commited and on the edge. Excellent. Not a drift but at 4:54 Owlet looks like the baddy from a horror film chasing us down.

[@mlippert]

10:10 has to be the winner for me, but 0:55 is nothing to be ashamed of either.

[@jpsother1183]

4:25 and 10:14 are a tie for me.

[@marktiltins8845]

He's got more control of the old beast than most people have with a modern car

[@wolfgangBuonarotti]

modern car controls you

[@PJ-om2wq]

I used to slide more old cars around on narrow tyres much more than I can now. My cars now have a lot more grip but when they do let go things happen too fast for me to deal with it.

[@Missed_Apex_GT]

Modern cars won’t allow this anyway…by the time you lose control you’re going so fast the outcome will be bad

[@geuros]

​@@Missed_Apex_GT well these cars go fast as well, losing control is not about speed. But the problem is in a car where everything is controlled electronically, the car doesn't even let you solve the problem. While in a pure mechanical beast you feel everything, and the car behaviour is 100% dependent on your input.

[@matz4k]

The problem is that modern tires have way more grip and if they loose it the sideway forces are big enough to surprise the driver. These old tires are constantly on and over the edge without much force needed, you can compare it to driving on snow.

[@bilboblib]

I can't help but grin from ear to ear while watching these cars race

[@zeroswings2]

surprised they held up to being thrashed like that... for sure they are getting squirrely in corners not just due to tire sidewall rollover but those wire wheels are flexing too... not to mention the coachwork

[@Timberwolf69]

@@zeroswings2 Given what they raced on back in the days, this is quite comfy for them.

[@wiryantirta]

drives a museum piece like a bloody rental, love it!

[@CornFedZ06]

Dude me too!

[@volt8684]

Watch this all day long. Modern Gp … yawn 4:16

[@brazoon1]

There's a scene in Downton Abbey where these type of older cars are being "raced" and they looked very slow. I assumed they were taking it easy because they are so valuable and rare. These boys here are really tearing it up and it's amazing to watch!!

[@sammerry7706]

Also guaranteed death if you crash

[@RedBishop_]

I'm unsure about the history of racing these kinds of cars, but i recently heard in a spanish soap opera set in the 1950s, a racer character mentioning they raced at 50Km/h, said as if it was a crazy speed to go at. So it might have been accurate that they set guidelines to not go over certain speeds because of safety concerns, perhaps.

[@probablynotdad6553]

These types of cars set land speed records that weren't broken by the average civilian style cars for several decades. While these types of cars were flying at 40-100+ mph the average civilian car was just putting along at 6-25mph.

[@chrissss696]

​@@probablynotdad6553 that's still true today, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport was the first road car to reach 300 mph in 2019, while that speed was first achieved by Malcolm Campbell in 1935

[@kramnull8962]

@@chrissss696 That car would have done 360mph with a few minor mods. Namely wheels and tires.... That thing had the inside wheels from a rear tandem axle truck...

[@NickDN]

Love that goodwood does this,they call it revival for a reason!

[@Nemoticon]

I went to Revivial every years for 4-5 years back to back, the atmosphere is just so wonderfully addictive as well as being a great day out for the family too.

[@PaulRubino]

These oldies are so hard to handle at these speeds it's a thrill to watch them performing at their mechanical limits. This is such great stuff. More!

[@markrichards6171]

I had no idea these cars ripped like they do. Wow! Great driving too.

[@fross1203]

I too am amazed at how they’re ripping around the track.

[@CornFedZ06]

Imagine back in the day. These things were practically flying

[@olavschioett4101]

Old race cars sounds amazing, try serch on 50s indy car

[@JDKempton]

I really appreciate that Goodwood shares these races on KZbin otherwise I'd never be able to enjoy👍

[@ChrisPoindexter98]

ditto

[@williamsporing1500]

These guys are great!! I ride a 114 year old motorcycle to work, weather permitting, and I never come nowhere near pushing it as hard as these guys do! Bravo!

[@JerGol]

Seeing these lovely old machines absolutely pelting around the track is so improbable! I love it!

[@MScotty90]

4:23 was a work of art

[@lylecrawford2794]

Poetry in motion!

[@skobi7686]

nice.....slide.....again

[@jasmijnariel]

Who needs grip when you played tokyo drift for years

[@Patataf]

Yep! Pure art.

[@DavidVerbout]

The best thing is that you can tell they're just having fun. So casual about shifting and sliding, you can almost see the huge grins in the helmets. Just cruising and showing off.

[@calluml5103]

I was there for the first clip, in the Woodcote grandstand. The Frazer Nash would just go more and more sideways each lap, as the driver felt how much grip he had. When he'd taken the lead he just did it for fun, it was astonishing the control he had over the car in the greasy conditions.

[@keithbarker7552]

You could make a race series of just the Owlet racing round on its own. Who needs more. Thanks again Goodwood.Instant pick me up.

[@craigpennington1251]

Now this is motor racing. Everything about it is outstanding. Thanks for posting it. Those guys know how to drive old cars.

[@craiglizt8074]

Yes! I love the Revival races. Some of the most entertaining driving to watch. I love the fact that they give these cars a real go. Brings a smile to my face, some gasps, and genuine laughs of joy!

[@chrisburn7178]

Those Fraser Nash cars have such a narrow rear track! My dad joined a couple of the famous Nash "raids" on the continent in the 70s, up mountain passes etc etc. They used to carry plenty of spare rear axles as the torque from negotiating hairpin bends sheared them frequently. They got used to changing an axle by the roadside!

[@icbtech01]

Pretty awesome car control here! And chain-drive at that. That last slide at 10:12 was the one.

[@7pH]

This is awesome, the cars, the drifting, the holding on while bumping around on the grips, the commentors saying 'Oooh, that's a shame' like while they're enjoying their cup of tea. Love it!!

[@richardw64]

I kept wondering how the Owlet manages to stay upright. Well done gentlemen.

[@GewelReal]

not enough grip to flip it

[@Kaptain13Gonzo]

I was on the edge of my seat, for a video weeks old of racing before then, in cars my grandmother grew up with. That was racing. Magnificent driving. Far more entertaining than most of the stuff we get fed on TV. Goodwood delivers again. thank you!

[@juliancavallini5856]

Te cambio estos 10 minutos por los últimos 20 años de formula 1. Que maestría de conducción

[@katlynklassen809]

I really appreciate that this exists. Motor sport will all be vintage one day.

[@aymaneoubad5057]

The guy in car 47 is a crowd-pleaser. Hands down, a truly talented driver.

[@mrerasmo1985ms]

I think so🎉 impressive 👍

[@jcgabriel1569]

His name is Eddie Williams...

[@Andrew-iq8zf]

Wonderful, pure poetry, watching these drivers drift around the corners the way they do. Keep this coming absolutely loved watching it.

[@antonfloor344]

That #47 from understeer to oversteer drifting, skills.

[@dimaadj377]

Вроде древность какая-то,а как захватывающе быстро все это выглядит! Великолепно!

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

There should be events like this everywhere. I don't care what kind of cars are racing, or how old they are. I just love watching cars going around a road course track like this.

[@PorscheRacer14]

Stunning cars and brave driving out there!

[@logannewman4532]

I love nothing more than cars that continue to do what cars do.

[@5naxalotl]

nothing better than thin tyres on a wet tarmac. equalizes out much of the power difference, keeps everyone on the edge of traction, not too taxing on old brakes. it's not fast but it's a lot of fun. the modern obsession with fast leaves me very cold indeed

[@flat-earther]

hi 5naxaloti have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

[@lunascomments3024]

driving intuition at maximum display.

[@jimclark7378]

That's real racing! Since F1 uses radio with the pit wall it's as thrilling as a long distance flight.

[@johneverett3947]

Those power slides were just gorgeous. Looks like he was just having a ball.😊

[@VPB1970]

This is what Goodwood is all about. Amazing fun! It's never enough to see true pilots drive this cars. It´s true racing and a non stop smile (and increased heart beat) all the way to the checkered flag.

[@Madcat1331]

It's always a delight to see such old machines still being appreciated and put to the limit on the road 🧡

[@Chandlabing802]

Idk why but there’s something very satisfying about watching an old early era vehicle like that slide around a corner, something about drifting on those little bicycle wheels

[@zweispurmopped]

That was poetry in motion! 🤗 What beautiful crazy old machines! 🤩

[@SH3Bstanko6]

Now this is racing! Watching a professional drift an old car, is like smooth melted butter to the eyes!

Great to see 1980's British technology being raced so hard!

Went to school with Martin Stretton race driver his skill as kids was phenomenal

[@ucgaofficial5339]

I was absolutely sucked into this race between these two race leaders. It was amazing.

I love seeing them use the slip angle of these cars to its full potential.

More exiting than F1!!

it takes guts to race these cars, for their value and for the skills required to control them! nice job!

[@markmcginn8012]

Damn! Fast AF. Drifting in priceless things.

[@marcossonicracer]

it's always nice seeing those cars doing what they were built to do. Race. Never Change Goodwood, Never change. and bring us more of those beautifull machines.

[@bradleyvantassal8328]

Absolutely brilliant. Loved every second of it.

[@wastingtimeonthenet]

I think that it is wonderful that people take their priceless cars out and thrash them for our entertainment. Old cars, trains, aircraft and the like, should definitely be heard and not just seen.

[@030corpetlouvet]

Crazy, insane, superb spectacle.

[@morningsideable]

That proves it's not just about horsepower. Great racing!!

[@stevenhinkle6957]

Seriously brave... especially considering the whole sans roll cage nature of this race. I couldn't bring myself to do this circuit. That's scary stuff.. but props for overcoming the fear!

[@silageheap795]

It's just so great to see these cars being used in the way they were intended to be, being hammered around a track at wide open throttle instead of sitting in a museum! Cars are meant to be driven!

[@nicksanders3062]

Fabulous!!!

[@sadie376]

Much more interesting to watch than modern F1...

[@davidsnyder2000]

I didn’t know these old cars could drift a little while cornering. These things have power that I was unaware of. Pretty impressive 😄👍

Beautiful!! Absolutely gorgeous cars driving a serious speeds, it definitely looks a combination of hard work and great skills to be able to do that...

[@lordslive4948]

This was a really cool race ,I couldn't stop watching ,and the sounds of those cars , beautiful

[@theplayer12312]

i like seeing people use old cars for what they were meant to be used for, and not sitting in a collector’s garage for 5000 years

Seeing this vehicle in the present scenario, not just as a vintage model but racing each other is a fine example of the marvelous and extraordinary engineering of that era. 😱🤯🤯🤯👍. Kudos to the people who maintain these vehicles and organize these events. The drifts 😱😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯🤯....

[@procatprocat9647]

Better than any F1 race!!!

[@lukeharpman7675]

JDM & fast & furious followers take notes, this how real men drive... Oversteer, understeer oversteer again constant steering inputs keeping it pointing straight, & with a solid rear axle u gotta flick it in like that, absolute credit to the men that do We soooo need to just winde the clock back

[@tennwilcox8663]

Real racing by Real men, Brilliant!

[@jesusg853]

Real racing?🤣there going like 70mph tops

[@jessebrandt452]

So cool when someone drives these cars the way they're supposed to be driven. I'm grinning just watching this

[@Ta_nuz]

Spectacular drift controls! 😀

[@snotnosewilly99]

In the US at a one mile long dirt track named Langhorne, which was nearly a perfect circle. Indy dirt track cars in the 1950s would race in a constant slide at 100 mph for 100 miles.

[@user-mn8lz7gf6d]

love how much fun these very posh sounding commentators are having.

[@grahamparsons1070]

Habilidad, músculos, técnica, máquinas " máquinas de verdad" me encanta, soy mecánico y me encantan los fierros, maravilloso video donde lo antiguo, se fusiona con lo moderno, gracias!!

[@onthespectrum8103]

Are these cars tuned in a way that would be in keeping with the technology of the day? They seem very quick for pre-45!

[@crazytrain7114]

They are equipped as built essentially. Fuel and oil technology is modern

[@crazytrain7114]

Board track racers were clocking 140 in the 30s

[@IIGrayfoxII]

Got to love these old race cars. No driver aids like power steering, Traction Control or ABS. Low Grip No Downforce No Brakes No driver safety

[@prl.5108]

Fabulous, skillful driving. It makes watching GPs boring.

[@discodan2265]

That's the best driving I've seen in a while! 🥰

I wish F1 would do something like this. Like bringing back cars from the 80's for a race or something.
