Considering the competition, that's one quick 356! Great driving!

[@tonydmty1234567]

Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo: Yeah!!! That's my great great grandpa! ";-)

[@eamonmcdermott4032]

This is just wonderful! Classic motor racing. Thanks very much.

[@wcube2747]

That was a great race. 👍👍🏁 The green and white Porsche driver was absolutely amazing.

[@swampweasel]

love seeing these old cars still being driven properly...way more fun to watch than modern stuff

[@fahrersicht]

Great driving well done! And that precision 3:52

[@rogerwennstrom6677]

I love the nice exit from T1 at 4:58 aswell :)

[@sebastiangrumman8507]

What a sportsman, the #7 car waving him through to third place.

[@hertzair1186]

It takes guts to race these old cars...they’re expensive!

[@AATAA5566]

And, sometimes, deathtraps!

[@bulcsu7044]

some of these are replicas

[@yorben1522]

Bulcsu704 not all of them

[@maxzak3694]

Yeah but if you are able to own one of those and race it, the "expensive" part is not really what bothers you I think. It's more about not to ruin a great car and especially to get out of it alive in case of something.

[@moretrash4you]

Yorben 15 hence the word _some_ 🤦‍♂️

[@PigEqualsBakon]

I love watching these old cars strut their stuff! wonderful content!

[@RocknTorb]

Wow, that was really exciting to watch. Great race!!

[@Porsche996driver]

Driven several racing 356’s in sim they’re really pretty neutral. Great timing and set up on the curves and passes, really well done.

[@ulises6965]

Classic motor racing is the best!! Thank you!!

I had a 356 C. It was such an amazing car! I regret having sold it!

[@toddhornquist492]

I LOVE WATCHING THESE RACES!!!!!!

[@whatsup8464]

Herbie's cousin...great driving..on the limit 👌can see how balanced the porche is and how tuned in the driver is also

[@fpvillegas9084]

I just love "no downforce" racing 👍 😎

[@tomkitchen2764]

Brilliant drive by Sam Tordoff.

[@rogerdalton1549]

Awesome stuff! He really used all of the track.

[@garrycowan4747]

Hard clean racing, just WOW

[@TheHypnotstCollector]

I had a 1953 Porsche with a 1964 SC engine with a big bore kit, for 1800cc. It chirped the tires with the clutch out and rolling.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Heh, my pops said a buddy back in the day put a super 90 Porsche engine in his beetle , and when thoroughly hammered off the line you'd occasionally see a spot of daylight under a front tire. Sounds like a hoot.

[@rfd339]

That was fun to watch indeed.

[@realnutteruk1]

Weight! Low weight is free performance!!! That little Porsche is perfect!

[@tonychavez2083]

Holy smokes what a drive

[@baconfister]

Wait… so I have been watching many of these Goodwood Revival videos on KZbin, and pondering to myself, “My, that cracking little circuit looks like Oulton Park” - was it renamed?

[@GoodwoodRR]

And moved hundreds of miles.... No, Goodwood is a circuit in West Sussex near the south coast of England, Oulton Park is another incredible circuit in the north of England in Cheshire.

[@mattg5898]

Better than any modern racing!

[@mariapires7170]

Great driver,fabulous car, oh it´s a Porsche, of course! Stay safe!

[@GEMfanatica]

4:27 woooaahhh!! That pass!

[@ganjaman59650]

I wonder how different the handling was with the tyres of the times , and how much modern tyres made this faster.

[@GoodwoodRR]

The cars run on modern-made tyres but to classic specifications, they are the same as the tyres used in period.

[@pashakdescilly7517]

@@GoodwoodRR Presumably they get modern rubber mixes, and consequently higher grip / durability

[@nirfz]

I think completely modern grippy tires (semi-slicks or slicks) would overwhelm the suspension. (There were instances where people tried to improve normal 20-30 year old cars with such tires but the parts holding the wheels weren't strong enough for these forces during very hard cornering.)

[@marksoutham2481]

Would’ve loved to have seen the surface of the tires on that Porsche right after the race - it was sure drifting hard at the limit in so many of those corners! Sure looked very smooth and predictable on that edge!

[@falcon0351]

Tordoff drove like a monster chewing up all in his path.two more laps and that Aston would have been toast

[@richardeasther2569]

Driving slow cars at the limit of their performance is nothing like driving fast cars at the limit of your skill as a driver

[@oldlud8971]

Slow?

[@tedium37]

Not sure of the specs on these old beauties but that 356 seems like a ringer. Love that winning DB2

[@FAT8893]

Now that's a proper driving.

There should be a law that every form of Motorsports in the world has British announcers.

[@Tycy2014]

This looks like he is playing forza motorsport and let the computation lap him just so he could have a challenge

[@JakobusVdL]

How did the 356 find itself at the back of the field at the start? While it is undoubtedly being driven well, it looks like it is a significantly quicker car than the rest of the field

[@GoodwoodRR]

Qualified second, couldn't get the car to re-fire on the grid.

[@davidtaysom3592]

Can't believe my eyes.

Must be a super 90 356, the standard one couldn't pass a c type Jag nor any Ferrari.

It's a 1954 356 Pre-A 1500S, now with a slightly larger 1582cc engine that has been highly tuned to develop around 170bhp! Find out more here 👉 www.goodwood.com/grr/event-coverage/members-meeting/2018/3/the-porsche-that-punches-above-its-weight/

Had he not stalled his engine he would have lapped the field due to having no cars to pass into a later lap. I wish some magazine would do an article on that car.

[@markmark5269]

They were NEVER that fast in the day. This is the problem with historic racing, VW engines have been constantly developed since those days, and put out very impressive horsepower now. Yes, I am aware of the differences between the Porsche engine and the VW.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Hah, if I had the bucks id like a pre 67 Cal look bug with a big ol 2300 or whatever size you can make em these days ,around 200hp would be nice. Yeehaa!

[@audikris]

Rule of thumb - never count out BTCC drivers!!!

[@user-ys9to2ie7k]

I stopped the video at the one second mark because if you're driving that Porsche you might as well be driving a Formula V or commonly known as, a waste of time!
