Jim Morris has a future in rallycross.

[@rofufoja]

Thanks Goodwood for putting up these full races so fast after the weekend! I missed most of the event and love looking these races back. I hope I get the opportunity to watch them all back over time. Such amazing events 😎🤗

[@SwiftuneEngineering]

We could do this over and over again. What a weekend.

[@Nick-Emery]

Holy crap that last lap was exciting… I LOVE that Patrick Motorsport Mini, even more so with Nick Swift behind the wheel

[@SwiftuneEngineering]

On board coming soon...

[@christycullen2355]

This was an incredible race. Many thanks for posting this for free 🙏

[@nickrudd2568]

You have to give it up for the little Patrick Motorsport Mini professionally enjoyed by Nick Swift, That thing flys in the face of reality. Well done to all.

[@Saintbow]

The VW Scirocco is such a great looking car.

[@MLC...]

Every time I see one I love it even more.

[@zebop917]

I had one for 13 years and I absolutely loved it. After I replaced it, a guy at work,said “Blimey, I thought we were going to bury you in that.”

[@scottross617]

What an amazing race!! I love this channel!

[@jareknowak8712]

I miss 2 door hatchbacks.

[@leefletcher1983]

Awesome racing from the golf and the mini!! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@motoflyte]

FINALLY...a hot hatch race ! I have two sciroccos and an 83 audi coupe, and a few other cars too.

[@roywinchel3620]

Oh oh oh ... that was great the greatest finish ever !!! Swifty drove his heart out !!! The whole race through the field raced hard.

[@Ptracer1]

EPIC Nick Swift!!

[@OG_MuttDog]

Great race every car in this race are beautiful...

[@arnepielhoff8073]

[@MadeInGreatBritain]

What a race!

[@gekolizzard]

This is perfect..love the Minis

[@antman8467]

Yeah the Golf!

[@MarosPlavka]

What a Race!!!! Thanx for upload.

[@RyanSymancek]

That was one of the best last few lap battles I’ve seen in a while!! Thanks for posting this!

[@SwiftuneEngineering]

Absolutely mega race if we say so ourselves

[@roywinchel3620]

That was the absolute best race so far this season!!! Nick Swift had it in the bag but gave him five feet to much at the end of the long straight...

[@sparkplug964]

What a race,.

[@BokorRider]

brilliant race

[@VampyrMygg]

For some reason through growing up, I always knew the Mini as a Mini Morris, so it felt almost strange seeing someone named Morris in a Golf racing against Minis. :P

[@03mar333]

This is proper racing. Makes F1 look very boring

[@ernesto003plus]

Well, it would have been even more proper racing if the man with the flag had finished his coffee break in time and flagged the race off when it was really over - and not one lap later... 🙄

[@LYNX_FRoSTY99]

For one it sounds much better 🤣 and there’s actually over taking

[@jonnystorer5473]

I went to school with Jim Morris. Lovely bloke. I think he is racing his dad’s Golf here which was campaigned in BTCC in the 80’s. Great to see him doing so well.

[@maxinnn1]

"its not rally mate" morris: "oh forgot"

[@carltwidle9046]

That was a close race between the VW Golf and the Mini Clubman. I remember going to a production saloon car race in 1975. There was Golf entered in the race. It came in last. Different story here.

[@Mexxx65]

we all feel for the lone Scirocco :(

[@satanswolf]

Great racing!

[@McFearless80]

A beautiful swarm of bees.

[@seandezart8294]

What a race ! :-)

[@a.j.carter8975]

❤. I've driven most of them. On a B road... Always choose a mini. Just remember, once you commit, never lift off. . It'll be right

[@moviebod]

Fantastic

[@SUMONiNJA]

Awesome finish!

[@Sharpened_Spoon]

Noooo poor Mazda. Hugely entertaining race!

[@Commander-McBragg]

Wow!

[@renebarun1904]

The golf switch Nos at the last lap

[@Saintbow]

Nos is for frat boys, these are Gentlemen racers.

[@codym2108]

​@@Saintbow *ahem* "POWAAAAAAAAA!!" We all know that's how he did it.

[@andypfeiffer8298]

An Alfa Sud!! Then as a racing car! I thought they had all made the brown plague aka rust extinct! The last one I saw was in 1978, I think 😁

[@RandomDuude]

Golf MK1 is one of the very few cars that can outcorner a Mini with the proper setup.

[@jeancharlesrabaux5658]

Ha la golf gti 1 la seul et unique gti j adore la 1 c est tout et elle sont introuvable

[@multa765]

A Mini Clubman Estate?!

[@zeljkoherceg2307]

what is the difference between scirocco and golf which engines do they have

[@andreas1963ap]

Who needs formula one ?

[@diethersantos6404]

No!

[@diethersantos6404]

This FIA WEC and IMSA 😍

[@SwiftuneEngineering]

Not us

[@brankojerbic6040]

Looks like the 63 Escort wrecked the Sciroccos race..

[@OggaDugga]

Thank the Motorsport gods for this during the F1 “spring” break. With that said, this is still more enjoyable than F1 lol

[@RisitasKEKW]

GO NICK SWIFT

[@Juggernaut30]

A Morris driving a Volkswagen and a Swift driving a Mini......Strange!🙃😂

[@santosh911]

I know it's not very competitive, but GO COROLLA SR5!!! It looks like a car at the early stages of being developed for racing. Had a couple of them, and they were excellent cars.

[@ashaaribloodgood3048]

NICK SWIFT IS A G.O.A.T

[@maso2466]

👏👏👏👍

[@elvispresley6392]

Swift got robbed

[@maverick4177]

He didn’t, he got Mk1 Golf Gti’d 😎🤣👍🏻

[@elvispresley6392]

@@maverick4177 If you go back to the (last) lap, before the chekered flag. At 0:00, the timer is still showing on screen, they were side-by-side. In fact, Swift had a slight lead and momentum on his side. Then say the count down out loud, to youself. You'll find that not only did Swift have a three car lead at the line, but the race has been over for 3 seconds. Or start when Morris went off-track . . . 3-2-1-0-1-2-3 So unless they have some kind of "grace period" for the end of the race . . . Swift got robbed . . . ✌😎

[@SwiftuneEngineering]

@@elvispresley6392 Check the results, we got the win and pole for the final on Sunday!

[@elvispresley6392]

@@SwiftuneEngineering Oh right on. Very cool. I just finished watching the final. Always fun to watch. Man that Jake Hill can get up on that wheel. Granted, the red flag helped, but he is definitely a driver. All you guys are really. I didn't start watching these until recently, about a year ago. I think it was a Mini vs Galaxy battle that caught my attention. Had no idea this was going on. I had a lefthand '59 myself, in my late teens. Suprised a lot of guys in that thing. Especially through the twisties. It took a lot of car to best me. Not braggin', just sayin'. These cars are a blast. Anyway, congradulations for the win. You were just out muscled in the final. Big fun all around . . . ✌😎

[@elvispresley6392]

@@maverick4177 Ahem . . . I think apologies are in order . . . Just kidding. Regaurdless of who wins the race, I'm sure having the machine & the venue to race these beautiful examples is a win, even for the last car across the line . . . ✌😎

[@pedermyrne2876]

Who needs Formula 1?

[@satanswolf]

Morris beats a Mini... lol

[@RisitasKEKW]

I have a mini jcw can I join 😂
