Here in Australia there are companies like Rare Spares that do nothing else but make modern retro spare parts, if you get my meaning, to keep classic cars like these running. It's a whole cottage industry these days. Engines may be of varying levels of originality; Dick Johnson's 1984 Falcon, for example, is a time capsule that has never been touched since the day it finished its last race - even the oil stains are authentic. For a lot of cars, though, they're only "the car" in the sense that it's the original bodyshell and they've been re-created to some specific era or race. Some might even be replicas. 3:57 Looks like the Ferrari Breadvan. 6:45 is an Arrows A10, an F1 car from 1987. Engine was the BMW turbo that famously produced so much power the dyno couldn't measure it, rebuilt for the team by Megatron. Unfortunatey by 1987 pop-off valves had arrived, so the engine's only real advantage was gone. 7:54 is a Tyrrell 012, another F1 car from 1983. Stuck with a Cosworth V8, just about the only non-turbo engine on the grid by that point, they tried to make the car super-light to compete. They got caught cheating in 1984, but that's a long and rather sordid story. 8:20 Looks like an Aussie S5000 car, a modern reboot of classic Formula 5000 from the 1970s, powered by a 5-litre Ford Coyote V8. Good cars, fun to watch, they usually pair up with TCR events here in Straya. Might be wrong though, it could be a Formula 2 car or something. 8:58 is an Embassy Hill, a mid-1970s F1 car from the great Graham Hill's own team. It does sound awesome, Cosworth DFVs always do! 10:44 Looks like a Maserati 4CLT, the F1 ride of choice for the amateur enthusiast in the early 1950s. 11:05 Is some sort of Indy roadster, early 1960s. 11:38 Is an Alfa Romeo 155 touring car from what looks like the 1995 BTCC. 12:55 Is another BTCC car, a Renault Laguna from the late 90's. 13:04 Is a Rover SD1 from around 1984. 14:20 Is a Lotus 77, I think, from 1976 - just before the team brought in ground effects and changed the game forever. 14:44 Ah yes, the famous Tyrrell P34 from 1976 and '77. The idea was to remove the drag of big front wheels rotating in the airflow, then make up for the lost front-end grip by having more wheels. It worked to a degree, as the lost drag was calculated to be worth an extra 40hp from their DFV engine, and they won a race (the '76 Swedish GP at Anderstorp, if memory serves). But performance fell off as Goodyear stopped bothering to develop the special front tyres, and eventually they just gave up and went back to a normal layout. 15:14 Lotus 49 from 1968. The first F1 car to carry commercial sponsorship. Jim Clark died early in the year so Graham Hill carried the team, ultimately winning the championship at the final round (I told you a DFV always sounds amazing!).

14:49 This is the Tyrrell P34 F1 Car from 1976. The Tyrrell P34 F1 car had six wheels primarily to improve aerodynamic efficiency and increase grip. By using smaller front wheels, it reduced drag and improved airflow to the rear wing. Additionally, the four front wheels increased the contact patch with the track, providing more traction and better cornering grip. However, the design proved to be complex and difficult to optimize, leading to its eventual abandonment in favor of traditional four-wheel setups.

The very old tall skinny fire-breathing open wheel race car near the beginning is a FIAT S76 racer from 1911. Nicknamed the "Beast of Turin", it has a 28.4 liter 4 cylinder engine. It was lovingly restored over many years and began 'racing' in vintage events a few years ago. And you thought FIAT only built tiny engined cars. :) You asked about rebuilding old race cars to new. Formula, prototype, NASCAR, and Indy cars, like AA fuel and Funny Car dragsters, are rebuilt entirely after each race. Vintage race cars are generally rebuilt after a season of racing, unless they require attention more often. Most classes of serious racers must meet safety requirements; fuel cells, roll bars, racing harnesses, etc. Some old vintage race car classes do not require safety ungrades and may run as built in days of yore.

Australian built first race specials Beating V8 Studebaker and Dodge Phoenix cars with crap brakes and high fuel consumption needing many pit stops. Even the EH Holden six cylinder cars lost out to the Ford Cortinas. Took the bigger engined Morris mini Cooper S to beat them in 1966 once the race special GT500 big fuel tank race special Cortinas were banned and the minis had their problems sorted out. The Cooper S then took the first nine places in 1966. The small blue car was the later Clubman version of the Mini. Nothing to do with the recent BMW mini, just using a highly regarded name.

The cars - and often engines - are usually original and just incredibly well-kept. Goodwood FOS hosts the hillclimb track (which is the organizers literal private driveway) and it also hosts tons of classic racing events, e.g. the Members' Meeting, at the dedicated Goodwood Circuit (A track from the 50s I believe, that hasn't ever really seen any modifications besides a chicane being added & is still FIA Grade 3 certified for those events, but hosted F1 back in the day). The Goodwood track is also still used for testing sessions sometimes. It sadly is the place where Bruce McLaren, founder of McLaren, died in a crash, as he was testing a Can Am car that went on to win the championship. The rear bodywork came lose and he had a sudden loss of downforce at high speeds on the back straight and swerved into a marshal's bunker just before the final corner. Good wood circuit, like Silverstone, is a WW2 airfield's outer road. It's basically mor like classic silverstone before and infields or new sections were added: A narrow, high-speed circuit with little runoff areas and hard to navigate turns... Or more so, unbanked kinks. The "WTF was that" car was a McMurtry Speirling (irish boutique hyper/racing car manufacturer) - this exact thing has the record for the Goodwood Hillclimb. It uses a rear exhaust fan and venturi tunnels.to suck itself to the ground and creat upwards of 2.5 metric tons of downforce in standstill. It's also all-electric, so it has basically instant torque off the line.

There were two of them, one driven by Jochen Mass and the other was driven by Mauro Baldi. The green car you saw with the yellow stripes is a track only Aston Martin Valkyrie. The Renault is a 90s British Touring Car and yes that was Rover SDi with 3.5litre V8. I'm writing this as your watching so I didn't get all the cars.

Ps that six wheeler F1 machine was from 1976 driven by Sir Jackie Stewart.

[@Happymali10]

Check out the "Nürburgring 24h", it's an infamous endurance-race on the Nürburgring and the attached famous "Nordschleife". 24h with everything from (barely) converted roadcars to GT3 race cars, GIANT starting field, and a ton of mixed weather.

[@asicdathens]

I had the black Lotus with John Player Special livery as a scale model when I was very young. The Tyrell with the 4 front wheels makes perfect sense if you read why it was made like this. It helps cornering a lot because you can modify the steering angles .

[@MCPunk55]

Most of those are locked in private garages or museums and they're constantly maintained precisely so they're ready for events like this. There are private owners of race cars, especially rally classics like Escorts and Lancias.

14:45 I may be wrong but I think it's a Tyrrell F1 from the mid 1970's. It only raced one season I think.

[@kumasenlac5504]

[@RWL2012]

The car the wheel fell off of is a 1936 Aston Martin 1.5-litre. The Mini is a 70s 1275 GT. The Renault sedan is a Laguna Mk1 facelift from around the late 90s.

[@solarfunction1847]

The 6 wheel formula 1 car was a Tyrrell P34, when they first came into the formula 1 race series nothing could beat it on the track, any track because of it's stability around corners & ability to accelerate out of corners where other cars had to wait to straighten up before accelerating.

[@johnd8892]

So good potentially that it got banned. Leas aero resistance from the low profile tyres too.

[@RobertSmith-pt7gl]

6 wheels means more rubber More rubber = more grip.

[@johnd8892]

Wikipedia search confirms it was beaten in all but one race it entered. Best result was a team 1,2 in the 1976 Swedish GP So not quite unbeatable but very interesting.

Been going to FOS for about 15 years, one of the best run events ever and the cars are fantastic

[@hangman5145]

The Subaru at 8.45 is driven by Travis Pastrana. He came second in the shoot out this year. The big old red fire breather is a Fiat S76 a.k.a. “The Beast of Turin.” Built for land speed record. 1910s I think. 28.4 litre 4 cylinder!!! 10.30 looks Shelby but it's a chev cheetah by Bill Thomas in the 60s to compete against the Shelbys. Unfortunately the Mello Yello NASCAR crashed into the hay bales and spun this year. Most of the body was wrecked.

[@IWrocker]

Wow great Information thank you! Travis Pastrana must be freaking legit, he does well in a lot of events it seems, that fiat beast is a crazy car!!! 28L 4 banger!!??? That’s insanity, almost sounds more like an aircraft engine.. and thanks for the Shelby correction, I had no idea… that thing was real wild looking!

[@marcuswardle3180]

@@IWrocker Your comment about sounding like an aircraft engine is almost true. Their is a children's book called "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" (also a famous film!) which was written by Ian Fleming of James Bond fame. The car in the story is based on a true car. The car was around in the 1920's and was a customised chain driven Mercedes. The engines was a Maybach 23 litre, 6-cylinder aero-engine. The engine due to its size probably came from a Zeppelin. The name of the car has been disputed. Some claim it came from an English aeronautical engineer, Letitia Chitty, the first female member of the Royal Aeronautical Society but Fleming liked to name his cars after the sound they made as that was important to him.

[@pmp1337]

For a Nascar Fan. This guy actually knows a lot about euro cars.

[@PatrickCurrie1]

That first of the old racers, the big red one spitting fire, is called the Beast of Turin. It’s a Fiat, with a 28.5 litre engine. I believe the chassis was found in the Australian outback and Fiat agreed to help with the engine and box etc.

[@richardnilsom7102]

15:38 is the McMurtry Spéirling, the jet like noise are fans that suck the car to the track for traction, this leaves the drive free to put all the power down and not waste with drag of aero, making it the fastest car on the hill climb event (2022), 39.08 seconds, 0-60mph time of around 1.5 seconds

[@Pidariol00]

14:40 i an old prototype of an F1 to make the max traction in the torns Exist even a prototype that have 4 wheels in the back for max power on the ground

[@LingBaneHydra]

A very, very rare 6 wheels Tyrrell. Awesome event!

[@johnd8892]

At 9:35 that is the American Bill Thomas Cheetah race car. Chevrolet 327 engine but a primitive mid sixties US design of suspension meant it made more noise than race actual race wins. Beaten by Cobras, Corvettes and most other racing sports cars of the time. Described as evil handling mostly.

[@hangman5145]

Great info. Thanks!

[@IWrocker]

Wow! A bit scary to drive I imagine! Haha

[@lordofrims]

We had tons of those kind of things in Argentina during 60's/70's Torino Liebre, Chevrolet Garrafa, Ford Pronello Huayra...

[@rogerwennstrom6677]

It is a Cheetah, but the rest of the comments was a bit unfair. Yes very tricky handling (primitive individual rear suspension, and not the most rigid chassi, but no, it wasnt simply beaten by Cobras and Vettes of the time. Problem was, it was made in so small numbers so it ended up in the "prototype" class where it stood no chance really. And Chevy wasn't really that much in to racing during that period. ... and then the factory burned down.... (It also had a stroked engine, so 377 rather than 327 as I recall)

[@Solis190491]

i can't encourage you enough to watch the full 2021goodwood timed shootout, they have their own youtube channel, and it comes with commentary, so you dont miss a thing about any car, plus you even learn a story or two about them

[@rogerstalder7184]

14:35 It was a real F1 car actualy. They had regulated the wingspann for the frontwing, (thats why you see all those F1 carrs with those tiny frontwheels from this Era) and your wheels had to fit inside this wideness, they did get smaler and smaler wheels, and didnt had that much downforce anymore. Untill someone came up with this solution 🤣

[@Philcoxon]

Was a Rover V8 TWR, Tom Walkinshaw Racing, and there was another TWR car, a Jaguar XJ 220 in the Bud colors (blue on white) which i think won Bathhurst and LeMans as well as many more races and series, RIP Tom.

Ur right it was a Rover! Well done. That was my 1st car 🚗 v8 3.5 that was Touring car trim. Goodwood goes on for a main week end but I think it's a week long thing, not 100% on that but it's a must!! You'd love there's a bit over everything on that little car b4 da Camaro was a Hillman Imp, one of the only car made buy a Scottish company! B4 number 9 I think the number was on the Camero.

[@andyhargreaves2574]

The red and gold saloon car (sedan in american lol) was an Alan Mann racing ford cortina Lotus, had a 1600cc twin cam engine The mini wasnt a cooper It had the clubman front end on it so it was a 1275 GT from the mid to late `70s The tiny angry sounding car was a hillman imp, rear engined rwd. I have been to the festival a few times, you can literally see everything from new models to cars from the early 1900's. There have also been some of the Landspeed record cars there too (Thrust2 and Thrust SSC). BTW the red FIAT that was spitting flames at the start held the land speed record at 132MPH in 1910

[@jacksmith4460]

the 6 wheel f1 car (Tyrell) - The idea was to reduce drag from the tire and not disrupt the airflow over the rear wing, I think the principle was sound but it never really caught on (that car 75-76)

[@dariopiovani5077]

That, and the front tires (much smaller than the other teams') had to be custom built for that very car, which was expensive in the long run. That's the main reason why it never caught on to be honest. Other teams experimented with four rear wheels (all standard size), like McLaren. Some of these also had drive on both rear axles... and then there was Ferrari with the 312 T8 study. Four fronts, four rears. As far as I know it never made it past blueprint status, but oh boy was it an incredible thing lol

The little blue squat car was Hillman Imp it has a inline rear .998 cc engine so just under one litre. There was also a Singer imp also a van version.. And the Mini was a late Mini Clubman with about the same size engine...
