Heartbreak at the last | 2020 St Mary's Trophy part 1 full race | Goodwood SpeedWeek 2020

The first part of the 2020 St Mary's Trophy at Goodwood SpeedWeek presented by Mastercard was an awesome battle filled with the legends of the BTCC, Le Mans, WRC and more. The main battle at the head of the field was headlined by a pair of Ford Galaxies, driven by BTCC star Sam Tordoff and WRC champion Stig Blomqvist. Behind them were Cortinas (Andrew Jordan) Minis (Alex Brundle) and more fighting very hard. #gwspeedweek

Remember, America Stock-car, (Nascar) tracks were flat tight tracks somewhat similar to this. So the 1960-1966 Galaxies, Fairlanes were accustomed to these conditions, it was only a few years later with the "Super-speedways" when the tracks got very wide, high banked turns, very long with sweeping turns, it changed everything.

Studebaker was active in supporting teams in all types of racing. The Avanti drive train could be ordered in all of their body styles, so there were some fast Larks out there. The Pure Stock Drags At Mid Michigan drag strip feature some high performance Larks.

Surprised they don't run 1965 Galaxies, as front disc brakes were available and most likely std. equipment (almost sure of it) on 427 (R) Galaxie 500's. Not only that, the Galaxie stock suspension in 65' was changed entirely, and as such, way better. On the other hand, maybe FORD didn't race Galaxie's at Goodwood in 65' and 66'.

#32 car. Studabaker Lark. Wonder what he's running?

[@Howrider65]

Better then NASCAR racing..

[@crazyoilfieldmechanic3195]

It is an absolute miracle that Studebaker makes enough horsepower to be so competitive. Apparently it's only 268 cubic inches and the heads have intake valves that are only 1.87 inches !! The EXHAUST valve on those Ford 427s is 1.66 which I might add is also small for 427 cubic inches. The Studebaker engine stock at it's best was 195 hp. It would seem a miracle for even a highly modified engine to be over 325 and that hardly seems enough to pass a 427 Ford engine.

[@raisingarrett]

Not sure what engine was in this Studebaker but the last few years of Studebaker production in Canada did use the small block Chevy for power.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

I think you will find the Stude is a 283 Chev, 3 7/8 bore and probably 1.94 intakes.Stude engines were 259 or 289. [not Ford] Stude weighs less than the Galaxies, will be maybe a little easier on brakes and tyres.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@@EleanorPeterson I understand now - thanks for the clarification. I love the British racing of that time because they had such a variety of vehicle types - huge sedans like the Galaxie battling little Minis and Alfas, with a few Jaguar sedans thrown in. We never saw that extent of variety in the U.S. in one race, other than Historic Races. I think it's very cool to watch. How come you never see Chevy Impalas in these races? I'm a Ford fan so I didn't miss them!

He felt what his machine was doing every second and was able to translate those feelings into racing on the edge at all times.
