Battle like it's 1909 | 2020 S.F. Edge Trophy part 1 full race | Goodwood SpeedWeek

The S.F. Edge Trophy for 2020 was split into two parts, changing from a single 20 minute race, to a pair of 5 lap sprints. This created two awesome hard fought sprints for victory from the Edwardian leviathans that make up the grid. Inside you'll find the Fiat S76 Beast of Turin, the Mercedes Benz GP, legendary Darracq 200hp land speed record car and more all racing at Goodwood SpeedWeek presented by Mastercard. #gwspeedweek

More action in one lap than a F1 race. Thrilling stuff.

[@kmc7355]

The high chair on the Mercedes GV602 looks terrifying 😂

[@Labergemusic]

The only thing I can think of or see when it's on the screen

[@colindoessel6043]

That fiat 76 looks like they just ripped the wings off a plane and said go for it

[@jcgabriel1569]

That Mercedes is the oldest car in the race, a 60Hp from, 1903.

[@cathalfolan8441]

that guy has guts, or else he's crazy, id be at the back trying not to get lapped

[@microbuilder]

I'm so glad events like this exist, love seeing this old tech get used the way it was meant to!

[@Træfisk]

old lack of tech really apart from an ingition system i doubt there are any electronics in there :p

[@Hmmmst]

​@@Træfisk Is that a bad thing?

[@gryfandjane]

These guys must be utterly fearless, especially the gent on the Darracq. I’ve read about that car, and it’s about as primitive as you can get. Wonderful stuff!

[@eric934]

I've seen it too. Don't get your boot laces caught up in the flywheel!

[@stephen_unc]

Thin wheels, poor grip, high barycentre, positive cambers, that's tough men's racing

[@madmanmapper]

No brakes, no roll bars

[@raramcgee4982]

Any idea why the cambers were so positive back then?

[@BMWM3GTS92]

@@raramcgee4982 Probably the same reason why some trucks/buses use positive camber today, it helps when turning.

[@raramcgee4982]

@@BMWM3GTS92 ah forsure, is that cause of the weight?

[@kimchipig]

They looked death in the face on every race. Death won quite a few.

[@ValentineC137]

I dont know or watch alot about older racing cars, but that 28L 4 Cyl with a redline of about 8 absolutely puts a smile on my face

[@mpaulm]

I wish I could smell this video.

[@heklyr3370]

This has to be one the most exciting races I’ve ever seen. Imagine trying to keep that leaderboard updated! lol

[@barryphillips7327]

These old cars are almost hilarious too watch they are so basic almost crude, wonderful too see them out and about! The Fiat S 76, what a BEAST 28ltr 4 cylinder 300hp 128mph at 1000rpm, just unbelievable!

[@ryanprice8352]

Absolutely phenominal! Having grown up around Model T's and horseless carriages it is an absolute thrill to watch these old machines do what they were intended to do - RACE!

[@Frank-rh7vh]

Respecting the very early History of Real Race "Cars" - and real Race Drivers, they are HERE just right now to see !!! THANK YOU, GOODWOOD ! AMAZING

[@texleeger8973]

This IS the new formula. Formula 1. :) PS I'm from the States, i.e., the sticks. You Brits knew it all along. Now me too. I just adore Goodwood.

[@mineshnissanka7139]

Formula old would sound better lol

[@eun5oo280]

Race cars driven like they should be, and not rotting in a garage.

[@K1lostream]

Clichés,TripleSeven, should be avoided like the plague!

[@barryphillips7327]

Well said! Far too many machines of various types STUCK in museums NEVER to see the light of day even again. What a WASTE!!!!

[@azhurelpigeon]

“Rotting”? Most museums where the remainder of these cars exist, take immaculate care of them, and quality museums maintain and start up the cars in order to keep everything in order. These cars are history, and history deserves to be preserved for future generations. I hope someday soon we’ll find an efficient way to make replicas so we can have the experience without risking crashing and destroying 1 of 1 historical race cars

[@wishusknight3009]

That Darraq is my favorite pre ww1 vehicle of all time. I am saddened by the previous owner passing away, he was utterly ruthless when driving it, like he was almost reckelss! Drove it the way it was built to be driven. Hard to say if he would have been any more aggresive than the current driver was in this race though. Pretty damn impressive imo. Considering that car has basically 1 usable gear and a redline of like 1200 RPM.

[@trob1173]

The Darracq is the wildest car out there. A chassis with an engine, wheels and a driver. As basic as it gets but surprisingly fast and agile.

[@Mick7391]

Spent a day at Snetterton Vintage racing last year, the best racing ever, add to this that it was raining and watching these cars sliding around at slow speeds really showed the drivers' skills.

[@leucetius8351]

Crazy to think that the Darracq and the Beast of Turin both competed at the Saltburn Speed Trials

[@greebo7857]

2:10 First time I've heard of a 30/98 being described as light and nimble......

[@michaelhutton3642]

Lewis Hamilton a worthy F1 champion, but this is real racing. Absolutely enthralling 👍🏁

[@jimbos3421]

That’s it, thats what these machines were made for, Bravo!

[@HardToCatchTwice]

THAT is REAL racing!!!

[@uprooy]

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful, The whole race and all of the cars, but my favorite is the Darracq V8. Man WHAT a romantic car that is.... FANTASTIC

[@VeraTheTabbynx]

Now that was an exciting show. Was personally rooting for the wacky bodiless Darraq V8 and the ridiculous Fiat S76 with its 28.4 litre I4. Glad to see the Darraq do so well, pity the S76 is so slow through turns.

[@jcgabriel1569]

Yeah, the Fiat S76 is not designed for cornering at all, it is just for sheer straight line speed.

[@VeraTheTabbynx]

@@jcgabriel1569 Yup, land speed record car with only 2 drum brakes on the rear. Very much not in its element here, but truly astonishing nonetheless.

[@jcgabriel1569]

@@VeraTheTabbynx The thing is, Fiat seemed to have designed the S76 from the ground up, purely as a Land Speed Record car. The other Land Speed Record cars in the grid, like the Darracq and the "Blitzen Benz", still had some design features taken from, and suited for, road racing and GP cars of the day, so those cars could still do the corners in a reasonable way.

[@VeraTheTabbynx]

@@jcgabriel1569 yes, the S76 is pretty much pure brute force. The engine is massive. Each individual cylinder displaces as much as an entire Ford GT40 427. The rest of the car is mostly just built to carry it.

[@trainzguy2472]

I could have mistaken this for colorized film of the early 1900s if the drivers were wearing goggles and scarves!

[@lordofrims]

And driving either on earth or wood tracks. (Yes, there used to be wood tracks)

[@jcgabriel1569]

Actually, no scarves. You really don't want clothing as loose as a scarf hanging around when there's plenty of things it can wrap itself around, even in the early 1900s.

[@thetreblerebel]

This is really competitive racing. It looks slow but it's not, and these cars are not easy to race

[@dozer1642]

And that right there is racing in its purest form.

[@johnnybullseye3622]

Glad to see them running and not rotting somewhere as a display piece. These cars were made to be driven.

[@thetreblerebel]

Goodwood looks like a very beautiful race track

[@greebo7857]

Wow. just wow. 5 laps of this is better than 5 SEASONS of modern F1.

[@sheeple04]

Eh nah. F1 nowadays is also still a load of fun to watch. This is also really nice to see though, beautiful old machines. Also why does everyone compare this to F1? Its completely unrelated. These machines were 41 years older then F1. Not comparable at all.

[@Timescratch1]

The darracq driver got balls of steel! Please more racing like this :)

[@myMotoring]

Love the low rumbling sound they made when going 150 kph at probably 500 rpm

[@jody024]

5 Laps of pure excitement up front!

[@SuburbaniteUrbanite]

So much more interesting than watching these electric super cars, much more skill and power involved.

[@auricom8472]

This is far more exciting then a modern formula 1 race.

[@MARRANCA2]

These Edwardian cars are just spectacular

[@crippledcrusader1321]

It’s just awesome seeing how the cars don’t lose that much speed going into corners.

[@davidreichert9392]

Best race I've seen in years.

[@MiguelEMG]

I love that these guys put out content like this I wish I could see it in person someway

[@crudboy12]

Proof that making a racing car faster doesn't necessarily make it more fun to watch/drive. This and lemons are infinitely more interesting to watch than F1 or other "real" racing.

[@eric934]

Absolutely brilliant. Better than any other motor racing for me. I've seen many of them close up at Mallory Park and hill climbs and they are fascinating cars, as are the owners.

[@zacharyp10]

Aw man, excited for this one!

Well, that's Julian Majzub (yes, the same man who goes all out on his Bugatti Type 35B or Alfa Romeo 308C. He loved driving cars with more power than grip in duels like this...

[@johncunningham4820]

Not dissimilar to a Ferry race . It's Great to see these 100 year old plus Cars drifting around a Track .

[@andersbonde2593]

That impressive old Darraq appears to have a better relationship between track width and centre of gravity height than most of the other cars. I wonder if it had so little positive camber (if any?) on its front wheels back in the day, which should also make the front tyres happier than on the others. Apart from its grunt, it also appears to push a smaller hole in the air - and I suspect the driver has a big say in it, too :-) Really exciting race - and I just loved the way the big Benz just billowed smoke when it applied all its grunt in a charge, positively leaving everyone else standing on the back straight. What an incredible thrill it must be to drive, let alone, race these lovely cars!

[@adriancho74]

I love this cars ♥️♥️♥️

[@musicauthority7828]

[@andersbonde2593]

These gentlemen are braver than any current F1 driver, IMO. Lovely to watch - and a bit scary, too. Rolling one of these high center of gravity cars at the high grip, high speeds they do now on tarmac could easily be fatal. Lots of interesting noises and smoke signals, too! :-)
