Racing at Goodwood for the first time since 1993 in my Jaguar Project 8. 2023 GRRC Spring Sprint

I’ve stopped mowing my lawn half way through to watch this Harry. The Mrs ain’t gonna be happy.

[@sjr999r]

Have you been shouted at?!

[@Resist_Oppression]

That's why you should have never gotten married

Is that what marriage is like? Sounds terrible

Lawn?? It’s March!

Such a lovely genuine guy is Harry, a joy to listen to. In a world of fantasy dinner party guests he’d be number 1.

[@BlueHopi144]

always loved his soft voice & incredible knowledge

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Hey, we'd probably all agree. To keep everyone honest, we'd then have to invite those two gentlemen from Bad Obsession Motorsports.

[@noelht1]

He is a lovely guy, but when it got to the bit about throwing your car keys into the bowl, he would throw in 100 sets of keys and win the sweepstake

[@kmungerma]

Agreed.

are you saying he's a hoarder ?

@@michaelfraser5723 of good stuff? Yes. And I’m glad he does.

[@cervelo9465]

Fully agreed :) ... Race suit, race boots, old photos, old papers, and its' all great. I think he ought to do a full sprint season :)

[@markwright3161]

@@michaelfraser5723 No, he's just a farmer. :)

[@MrDavezzzzzzzzzz]

I think the most impressive thing is being able to fit into your overalls after 30 years

[@Adriaaan]

EVO was later. He says it's just within date, which means it's under 10 years old.

[@cepheus7850]

Harry's Garage has been such a treat these past few months. Goodwood Sprinting, Fulvia restoration completion, Emira tour, Dakar special, what a channel. 👍👍👍

[@justinbrown6558]

Agreed. An extremely well rounded gentleman, which is reflected in his presentation style and content. In all of my KZbin subscriptions in diverse interests of food, bicycle road racing and training, art, architecture, music, etc, etc, Harry will always be one of my favourites. Harry brings happiness, contentment, enthusiasm and insightful knowledge all through the medium of automotive video journalism. He is a genuine, considerate, and kind individual. It’s hardly surprising he has such a following.

[@jimamizzi1]

@@justinbrown6558 and the nicest guy on YT, such a gentleman. Great video harry.

[@simonzero3815]

You took me out with you on the combine, and now you have taken me around in the P8. Thank you. What a great event.

[@strawman3059]

Not many youtubers offer that kind of diversity 👍🔥

[@soumarku]

Wooouuu you really pull out the power from the jag as well a jealous fun on doing it. Thanks for great vide

[@pirikaty]

Great job Harry. Big respect... I'm 63 and have thought I would like to get back into rallying... Think I will... Great inspiration, thank you!

[@harrysgarage]

You’re one year younger than me. There’s no downside to giving it a go. You and I know we don’t feel any different to when we were in our thirties. Just get out there while you can, you’ll love it and no one expects you to win, so it’s all about having a great time!

[@rossm9676]

​@@harrysgarage. That's a pretty good philosophy for life I reckon. I'm 64 and I've come back to motorcycles as my drug of choice for the last 5 years. I hoon about and tour on a KTM 890 duke, and ride about in a rather more leisurely way on a beautiful 2003 carbed Bonnie. Life is good.😁👍🏍️

[@aukanmeister]

You are ahead of some pretty serious kit here, Harry! The Caterhams can't be dealt with in a normal car with back seats and airbags I think. And those Skyline's probably took their godzilla pills that morning. You had the RS6! Wll done! I'm impressed!

[@verdict1163]

There's something about timed competition that makes it so much more exciting than a normal track day.

[@fastharri]

The 205 gti running only a second behind Harry on Run 2 must have been seriously gunning it.

[@nickalgar5473]

Great video of what Sprinting is about. Thanks for doing it, its been my sport for 20 years and you've captures the fun so well. Also the challenges to getting that perfect lap 👍

[@damienmills293]

For those who haven't driven at full attack, Harry's last lap is what it is really like. You're talking to yourself, guessing how late and how hard you can brake... you're urging the car on, assessing, assessing and obsessing every motion and corner, you no longer think; its just attack, adjust and look ahead and then... its over. The adrenaline makes you shake and feel giddy and you want to go again. You will note that on the last lap Harry was on and off the throttle, this is the "ragged edge" where the car begins to slide, on/off as you hover on the edge,... Brilliantly communicated Harry. That last lap...? I really felt I was there! Thankyou Sir!!

[@dremarcos]

There is always that feeling of being there with you - you have a distinct and unique ability to bring us wherever you go - from a Silverstone auction, to a meeting in London, tSprint day at Goodwood to across the globe on two wheel or four. Its a testimony to what can be done with this platform. When you were told to take the helmet camera down, momentarily my heart sank, but of course, no compromise to the footage - ever the professional, another incredible in-car shot (Love onboard content - nothing takes us along better). Automotive content doesn’t get better than this - we are spoilt with wonderful content, long may your desire to make it continue.

[@TheAslakVind]

Harry, I simply love everything about this. The diversity of cars, from a NSU Prince to your jag Project 8. Everybody trying to have fun, buut the horns tends to grow through the helmet.

[@jeffzhejiang]

That's 2 of your project 8 videos on my greatest youtube videos of all time list. Amazing that you were able to film such a fun video in the midst of all the other things you had going on. Thanks for this!

[@bobspeller2225]

What a lovely day racing and a great pleasure listening to you Harry you presentation make us feel that we are there just talking with, Thank you so much. Cheers Bob

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

That Jag😍😍 Colour, shape, sound, driver - everything is so beautifully well married together!

[@andyjohnson3389]

Great video absolutely caught what the day was like! We were there in our MINI R53, which is actually my partners day car, true grassroots stuff! I would urge anyone interested in doing motorsport to try sprints and hillclimbs. They are great fun and often, particularly in the case of hillclimbs, take place in historic and beautiful settings. The people who take part are friendly and will share their experiences and at the end of the day, there is beer to be had!

[@user-lt7xe2gt2k]

Great video Harry, thanks.

Thank you very much for taking us along, what a lovely video.

My favourite circuit, car marque and KZbin channel all rolled into 30mins of petrol head nirvana. How lucky we are to have Mr Metcalf (and his farm of course) pop up in our notifications every week. God bless you Harry, you're a national treasure.

[@solacemusic242]

That was awesome! thanks!

[@phils866]

Well, that was an enjoyable half hour! 🙂The more I watch Harry, and the more I find out about him, the higher my admiration of him becomes. A true petrol head.

[@TheAgwarn]

Blimey! That Project 8 never fails to amaze!

Fab to see, been there ten mins, and the winning, faster mentality kicks on, brill 🏁🏁🏁👍

[@phils2180]

Kudos to Harry for still fitting into his race overalls from 30yrs ago!👍 I wish my one piece leathers from the early 90's still fitted😂. As good as the Project 8 and modded GTR's are I'll bet there's still much fun to be had hustling a classic like an Elan round there with no ABS, no modes, no traction control etc....👍😃

[@krp6147]

Fantastic video Harry sprints and Hill climbs love to see more x 👍

[@WeLikeGoPro]

Have to say, watching the RS6 launch is an impressive sight. Noise. Speed. Awesome.

Well done on getting back to Goodwood after so long…I think I might have seen you back then but never tied up my memory with your films….you look so much younger now!!😃😃😃I just missed buying an F-Pace SVR 1988 last week…sold hours before I got there and £20,000 under list!

[@borinvlogs]

sounds incredible....

[@986am]

Did some sprinting in a manky old Celica 190 (when you could buy them for £500). Javelin sprint series - was absolutely brilliant, the people (helping each other out), banter, circuits…. . “Support / Tools” in a simple cheap tent each day - just fantastic fun 🏁 Had my leggy (175k) 996 C2 aligned at spires after seeing your video - Mat was superb and the car feels miles better, so thank you.

[@jimc793]

What a hoot! Thanks, Harry. I felt like I was there walking in the paddock looking at all the fun cars.

[@nigelday001]

Sorry ….. a little late to this party , I have to say ‘hats off to you Harry’ , what an awesome video. I’ve enjoyed this as much as you have partaking in this sprint .

It’s shocking how calm and sedate things seemed inside the car when in comfort mode during your morning runs. Incredible soundtrack from the outside shots. Hope you bring us along on more of these events.

Harry’s Garage has it all from restorations to auctions to reviews to track days. This KZbin channel is the best for automotive enthusiasts.

[@mikewood7040]

I remember that day well in 1993. I absolutely wrang the neck of my 309GTi. Then I tried taking St Mary's flat in 5th. Apexed it with the front wheels on the grass and the rears on the tarmac but still got it through the next left hander. Peter Sacree was less lucky and ended in the barriers

[@williamschoots4298]

Hi Harry, What cracker Vid, I love racing and do it myself in Australia, your jag project 8 sounds and looks really quick and the excitement to showed at end of the event made me want to get back on the track immediately 😂 Awesome mate! Hope you do more of these. Cheers

The best Corporate day I ever had was spent hooning around Goodwood in 5 different sports cars under tuition. Started off with Vectra SRi to learn the layout, braking points etc and finishing off with my dream LHD Porsche 911 Turbo. A cold, dry, sunny Winter's morning and a day I'll never forget.

AWESEOME!! Fantastic video and true appreciation for you and your love of all things automotive from an American bloke!

[@chinnyvision]

They still get arsey about cameras at Goodwood? Years ago I was offered a ride round. Snapped a few seconds of video on the way round (nobody had said anything) and then got a right telling off at the end from a marshal. Rather spoiled the day and since the marshal had seen me holding the camera on the start line I rather felt it was their mistake and not mine! No signs, no warnings. How am I as a newcomer supposed to know? Felt like an old boys club where you are just expected to know these things! Still comes back to me when I see this footage of the place today!
