Fisken and Kristensen's battle for the Kinrara Trophy

[@garthlundquist8316]

My dad and I were fortunate to own a 1963 Jaguar XKE OTS for over 44 years. As an immature 16 year old with a new license I was able to drive this car in all manner of conditions and see 147 mph on that beautiful Smiths speedometer. Speeds above 100 mph in the wet were frightening: tires were not as good as modern tires and the narrow track combined with the narrow section stock tires and factory limited slip differential made for very little warning before a terrifying snap spin would occur. Fortunately I never damaged the car, but these experiences gave me a tremendous respect for the expert driving seen in this video. In dry conditions the jag could be drifted in a controlled manner, but the big torquey six could easily spin you around in second gear up to 75 mph or so. Third was good for 115. Lots of fun on Saturday night.

Whatever happened to motor racing? Watching these Goodwood races is just fantastic, I can't get enough of them. Nothing like we see now with the over regulated, make-them-all-the-same-so-it's-fair cars of today. Why don't we have a stock body series that is this entertaining? NASCAR is done in my mind. The Aussie V8s come close to this kind of action but that is about it.

[@jody024]

Rulebooks got out of hand.

[@gavinedinburgh]

There were two such categories once - special saloons and modified sports cars......

[@DennisCaffey]

Beautiful race cars... lots of variety... makes watching so much fun. One of my favs is the interior view inside a GTO racing (maybe not this video) and the keys in the ignition swinging back and forth. For real .. for sure!!

[@craigyirush3492]

Fantastic video! More of these longer stories please.

[@ghislainborrelly8776]

Un film fantastique comme seul Goodwood sait en faire. Un reportage magnifique pour revivre une tres belle course sur le mouillé sur la type E de 1962 de Fisken. Chapeau une fois encore au coup de volant de Mister Kristensen!

[@3ducs]

Beautiful cars from a wonderful era. At 71 these were the cars I dreamed about in my youth.

[@johnrinton5669]

Tom Kristensen + Goodwood Revival = Pure Gold

[@jesper1406]

Typical Tom K to be apologizing for not winning, but praising the car, his co-driver (who basically threw away the lead...) and the team. He is such a gentleman, a magnificent racing driver and a great personality 👌👌👌

[@mortenfrosthansen84]

Tom is a special breed of racing drivers... There is a handful of them who comes to compete at goodwood. Can take any type of car and go fast in it

[@georgejacob3162]

Absolutely bloody marvellous old chap!

[@fordknutt]

I was an infant when these cars originally raced. This is the best racing ever! Beautiful restored classics tearing up the track. Just love it!!

[@simonthomas5367]

Works of art thrashing around a track. Couldn't be better!

[@realMaverickBuckley]

Sent shivers through me. What a Car, what a driver, what an occasion.

[@hervespitfire1286]

Superbe film...et belle performance de Tom Kristensen le funambule sur la piste mouillée...

[@francoispetit2556]

Quel régal de voir rouler de "vraies voitures"

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

Makes you bloody proud to be Danish.

[@reelbass500]

So great video, more,more more!

[@Linken200]

Very pleasant video! Great work

[@TheKizzyfish]

First class film!

[@kernplace37]

Nice job on the edit chaps

[@TheAslakVind]

No mention of Tom Kristensen´s grat drive, despite Fisken´s minor effort. Had Tom been British, I guess the hysteria would be there.

[@gihangunasekara4943]

where can I watch the full race?

[@harrimat100]

A Toyota 2000GT would look great among all these old race cars.

[@jody024]

Would it be able to keep up though ?

[@harrimat100]

@@jody024 I don't see why it wouldn't. It did well in Japan and when Carroll Shelby raced them in the states.

[@jody024]

@@harrimat100 Maybe ye.

[@marshja56]

Do the owners pay TK to drive their cars?

[@mootsym]

how does one become a driver in racing of any kind of car class? In Nascar it seems to be family/friends/who you know. Then you have stuff like this, GT, F1, etc..

[@williamjolka4351]

thé E lightweight registered CUT 7 driven hard and winning. what à difficult and risky way for this True Van Gogh !! lightweight or low drag ? i forgot

[@jody024]

Tom got robbed by the early flag. He would've won that race for sure.

[@terryh5526]

Why the horribly loud music instead of the sound of the race?

[@ArtHotelRiposo]

full race pleaseeeeee

[@56Seeker]

Nice film. Music's too bloody loud though, as is so often the case. What's the point of including a narrative if it can't be heard through the music?. Annoying.

[@philcopson3900]

7.54: Fisken is burbling - the XK engine has a cast-iron block, not a "steel" block....

[@TheAslakVind]

As long as you can´t afford an E-Type it doesn´t really matter.

[@philcopson3900]

@@TheAslakVind What I can afford or own, doesn't come into it: I go to Goodwood every year because I love the cars, and I comment on things because it's irritating when people who should know better, get basic stuff wrong. (Example - every book you ever read about Jaguars, claims that the D-type has it's engine canted over by 7 or 8 degrees "to lower the bonnet line": Anyone with an atom of common-sense would realise that it you tilt a rectangle by a few degrees, it gets TALLER not lower. Like any car made in the past 40 years or so, the D-type's engine is tilted to give more room on the intake side for ram-pipes/fuel injection/plenum chambers etc. The D-type's bonnet-line is lower because it has a shallow "dry sump" with the oil pumped to-and-from a separate oil-tank, btw) PS: When-and-if you get your own E-type - don't forget to ask me for one of my 5-speed conversions - if you can afford one?

[@pacerodi]

Take a look at how many cars are sliding on the track. Someone dumped racing oil on the track.

[@d.e.b.b5788]

Any other drivers of equal caliber in this race? Oh, Jackie Icks maybe?

[@paulcaswell2813]

If the race was over 24 hours, it would be a hard-fought scrap. Kristensen vs Ickx in a real endurance race - especially in the wet (Ickx was a wet-weather maestro)...

[@mvmallinson]

Why oh why do we have to suffer this awful unnecessary music.........WHY??

[@paulhammersley4562]

not too keen on fisken,

[@matthewisaac6895]

Knows his stuff, but when you're talking motor-racing with a 9 x LeMans winner you should listen and not talk over the top of him..

[@paulcaswell2813]

However, there's probably nobody alive today who knows more about Jaguar, 'E' types, and the racing thereof than Fisken. He's in the pairing for a reason...

[@philcopson3900]

Can we just hear the engines please, and not the stagey sound-track ? I can't be alone in wanting to hear Aston /Jaguar straight-sixes, and Ferrari V12s going for it, and not some self-important film director's idea of what's good for us.....

[@mudemmeonick]

Video ruined with the crap music and "artistic" shots.
