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

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

[@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!

[@heklyr3370]

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

[@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

[@colehara]

"redline of about 8" had me laughing! 👍

[@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!

[@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?

[@oldcarfan80]

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

Formula old would sound better lol

[@thetreblerebel]

Goodwood looks like a very beautiful race track

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@jimbos3421]

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

[@Timescratch1]

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

[@GoodwoodRR]

Who needs grip eh? Here's part 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y32WgWeqn92Lpbc

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

[@K1lostream]

[@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

[@primeguy9855]

I found my new fav thing to watch

[@trob1731]

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.

[@HardToCatchTwice]

THAT is REAL racing!!!

[@mottee]

This is absolutely crazy in so many ways. Kudos for all the barking mad maniacs who risk their health and these invaluable relics to keep the heritage alive and provide us this wonderful entertainment.

[@jody024]

5 Laps of pure excitement up front!

[@MiguelEMG]

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

[@dozer1642]

[@hughjass5156]

This is awesome. These guys are actually racing!

[@nikolaivillitz6026]

Wow, that was exciting and wholesome! #9 (the guy who came in 4th) was smiling nearly the whole time.

[@jcgabriel1569]

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...

[@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.

[@leucetius8351]

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

[@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.

[@crippledcrusader1321]

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

[@thetreblerebel]

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

[@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!

[@soulfoodspiritualnutrition]

Phwoar! Love it. Thanks Goodwood!

[@johnnybullseye3622]

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

[@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.

[@felipeferbarr]

[@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.

[@skipstalforce]

My God, This is GREAT!!!! Where the heck are they hiding the fans?!!!

[@pauln1557]

Fantastic, awesome cars and some very brave drivers! I' can't objectively say if it's better than Formula 1, but that's only because I stopped watching F1 about 20 years ago because it became so dull....

[@daedalus_20v]

Certainly more drama and lead changes than pretty much any 5 laps of any F1 race for quite some time!

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! :-)
