Epic little vs large fight | 2024 St Mary's Trophy Part 1 full race | Goodwood Revival

Always one of the most exciting races around, the St Mary's Trophy presented by #Motul is an amazing fight for some of the greatest touring cars in history. This year, we moved back to the cars of the 1960s, so Minis, Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAs, Ford Galaxies and Plymouth Barracudas went head-to-head for glory. Drivers involved included Romain Dumas, Jake Hill, Andrew Jordan, Alex Brundle, Jean-Eric Vergne, Rob Huff, Christian Horner, Jimmie Johnson, Matt Neal and many more.

Romain Dumas just living his best life.

[@TrojanRabbit521]

So glad the British still run these races and allow the public watch these valuable cars run like they are supposed to. In America the rich hoard their cars and most events are private or only rich can afford to attend. The small vs large races are my favorites. Reminds me of my childhood my town ran vintages car races

[@almarn]

Only in GB..it is the paradise if you like racing vintage cars. You need tons of money also. I like Goodwood and I like to see here drivers from Le Mans, ex F1 driver like Jenson Button..it is really a lot of good races not like F1 anymore.

[@tbd-1]

In America you couldn't run a race like this without everything getting smashed up.

[@3ducs]

@@tbd-1 The vintage racing I've see in the US has been very clean, no demolition derbies.

[@TougeSolo]

There are historic racing series in America, Goodwood covered the Monterey Car Week races at Laguna/Weather Tech. But to my knowledge, nobody else puts on such a weekend like this packed with crazy car, crazier racing, and awesome vintage atmosphere

[@Negleygent]

[@Gentleman...Driver]

Modern cars have too much aero. 😞 Back in the day they used every trick as well, but honestly, dirty air is significantly reducing other cars ability to get close to the car in front of them.

[@joeblow5037]

That was not only some great racing, that was some of the best video I have ever witnessed. Well done Goodwood!

[@stratman9449]

Amen to that....

[@dwartfarquart9590]

Dumas looked like he was really enjoying that. What a beast that Galaxie is.

[@richardmorgan9273]

The racing is always better with no aero and no fancy electronics - great old-school wheel-to-wheel battles all down the field!

[@paulroossien5322]

Dumas was on fire close finish for second what a drive

Love the mad difference between the titchy mini and the vast Yankee Land-yacht. A Jack Russell picking a fight with a Rottweiler

[@ald1144]

Is there any kind of racing that's more pure FUN to watch than old big and small-bore cars mixing it up? I don't think so. You know every driver was having an absolute blast too.

[@wraitheful]

Unbelievably beautiful racers, particularly the Barracuda and Galaxie 500’s. (all of them really)

[@ohar7237]

Heck of a race, I'll say. Awesome to see the match up between cars that are actually *different* compared to these days where that's not easy to find. And while I am a Plymouth boy through and through... they sure enough don't turn all that well compared to some things. 🤣

[@1240enzo]

You have to just love how the great handling little 1.6L Alfa Romeo GT Giulia can beat the muscle of big V8 yank cars. Top driving by Frank Stipler 👍

[@3ducs]

Love to see the Alfa victory! I'm negotiating on a 1971 GTV 1750, complete and straight but very rusty. Beautiful cars.

[@tobyholt4682]

@@3ducs I think you’d be better off negotiating on one with no rust (almost an impossibility with those) and a bit bent! 😀

[@3ducs]

@@tobyholt4682 Possibly, but the car is complete, I have worked with very rusty cars before, did rotisserie body restorations of three XK-Es, a couple of 750 series Alfas, and an Austin Healey 100M. I'm in New England, finding no rust cars of any stripe just isn't in the cards. The car I'm trying to buy is half an hour away but the owner is a hoarder who has 100 cars rusting away and sinking into the ground. Lots of 2002s, two 912s, it's a real shame seeing them that way.

[@EvilEndz]

Honestly this is the best racing of any series I can think of. Real seat of the pants wheel juggling pedal dancing driving!

[@ChrisSpriggs-rj2ys]

Beautiful cars😊 Alfa GTA is awesome

[@texleeger8973]

I rode in a friend's brand-new Sprint GT when I was in high school. He drove it as if it was live at Goodwood. Exhilarating. Exciting. Unforgetable. A near-death experience.

[@fankullah]

The GTA is, indeed, awesome. But that is a Giulia GT Sprint, which is not as fast as the GTA

[@Yocambio]

Very impressed by the great balance between aggressive driving and cautious close quarter racing. Drivers demonstrating terrific skill.

[@user-wz2qe2pv6r]

The touring car race at GW kills F1 dead in the water. Way more exciting, just way more of everything.

[@peterlorimer4865]

Outstanding St Mary's Trophy. Remember, Alfa 1.6 GTs had dual circuit, twin servo, four wheel disc brakes. Helped a lot, despite 1/3 of the power of the V8s. Max speed of a standard road car was only about 125 at 6,700rpm in 5th.

[@TassieLorenzo]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="840">14:00</a> Minis racing Ford Galaxies is just hilarious! The size difference almost seems like it can't be real. 😂

Awesome racing as always with Historics and Classics unlike the modern rubbish. The practice I watched yesterday with the Healy 3000 under full control even at 45 degrees was superb.

[@NBC_NCO]

These drivers are really having to work the steering and the 3 pedals with no driver aids. I'm glad people have preserved these cars for us to enjoy today.

One of the few races in this modern world that makes me giggle and laugh. It's out of time. Right out of my childhood when Impalas, Galaxies, Fairlanes, and Sport Furies ruled the road. PS From what twilight zone have these Goodwood Barrcudas materialized? Nice.

Brilliant illustration of the advantages of power vs weight. The Plymouth pulls away on the straight, the mini and the Alfa catch up every where else. Neither is “better” but it leads to amazing racing.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Who told the commentator that a 273 V8 is "four point Six liters" ?? (4.473 by numbers conversion calculators, but really 4.482cc)

[@Ziggy_Moonglow]

FIA Homologation number 1331 lists the 273 CID maximum bore as 1cm over stock, resulting in 4.5789 litres (279.421 CID). Easier to say "4.6" or "280" AND it *sounds* bigger! ;-)

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

@@Ziggy_Moonglow Then it's not a 273. It's a 360 with the 273 crank in it. Stock bore is 92mm, add a centimeter and it's 102mm. 273 stroke is 84mm. 5.6 liters. Now, if someones made a huge error somewhere, and it's a 1mm overbore on the 273 block, that'll be 4565cc's ( +/- rounding)

The 5 speed tranny and rear gear box were aluminum. 4 wheel disc brakes. Solid as as a rock. Very quick, agile and fast. It wanted to cruise at 110 mph. 😂
