Pre-war battle | 2020 S.F. Edge Trophy part 2 full race | Goodwood SpeedWeek 2020

[@GoodwoodRR]

Five laps of absolute wonder! What was the best bit?

[@barath4545]

The Darraq! ... I LOVE what Mark Walker does with that car!

[@wetlandweasel]

That the driving experience is 100% manual down to pumping the fuel pressure up plus everything else.

[@rockets4kids]

All of it! I look forward to this race more than F1!

[@andyglewv8]

The best bit for me is that this is proper racing. Where men were men.

[@thedoctor2102]

This here is motorcar racing should be. A floating scaffold of leaf spring a drive train and skinny tyres bolts or strapped to an overpowered aircraft (or battle tank) engine block. No need for power steering I really don’t think it would help at all anyway because there’s no traction control, ABS, nothing on these car augment the drivers skills, abilities and limits that I can see. Some look as though they handle like a Sherman tank but I’d bet a few of them would pull like a freight train while in top gear and still ask for another one or two.

[@huepix]

Kudos to the owners of these rare and very expensive works of art, for letting us see them do what they were designed to do. Race. Brilliant.

[@torstikinnunen3801]

Pre-war cars have more overtakes in five laps than modern F1 cars have over a race weekend.

Goodness me! Imagine the nerve required to race those in period, and then today, knowing all we do about how potentially dangerous those cars were, to go out and throw them around the track anyway. Truly magnificent.

[@MrStabby19812]

And some of those cars were on dirt tracks back then. Never mind nice new smooth tarmac.

[@MH3GL]

They weren't any less aware of the dangers then than we are now. They were just more willing to face the danger and take the risk.

[@boerebru]

Man this absolutely mimics scenes from wacky racers. Pumping gas in car while racing, the stretch with a fin. All they need is dragon power and Penelope Pitstop and you have it complete. Absolutely loved this!!!

[@sparkplug0000]

Love the Beast of Turin. I imagine passing it on the left is a dicey proposition, what with the flames out of that exhaust.

[@flamingfrancis]

It expect it would be commonplace to have one's marshmallows on the skewers ready to toast as one makes the passing move.

[@SpatialDragon]

Thanks to all of you keeping these great old cars running and racing after all these decades. Some people may not see the point to running these obsolete cars. I get it. Again thank you.

[@Shahacah51]

This is totally brilliant! Love this! No brakes no problem.. Sideways is always on order..

I'm surprised the cars can still drive with the extra weight of these drivers massive balls this is the absolute greatest thing I have ever seen in racing.

[@unwrought9757]

Absolutely marvellous! If only car races looked like this today!

[@Cherry_man1]

This was so exciting to watch as of late I haven't seen this kind of battles in IMSA or anything lately

[@NelsonMuntz1993]

I’m very fascinated by these pre war era races. I’m only 28 and I enjoy this more than any modern day racing but don’t get me wrong. I love all forms of motor sports

[@giuseppedagostaro5822]

There is more overtaking is this clip than a modern F1 race, superb !

[@EmberwolfXR]

this is real racing...i can watch this all day..

[@craigpennington1251]

It's slow but it's the best racing around and NOT a single wreck. Marvelous.

[@thomasconetsco361]

Fantastic! I can’t imagine what it was like back then,must of been exciting to race such autos.

[@petedraper5185]

I was at Julian Majzub's home one day when he was trying to recover parts of a Delarge (I think) from South America. His brother had come across the parts and Julian was rather excited. Not only do some of these guys build their own cars, they have the courage to race them. Coincidentally, Julian is driving a Sunbeam in this race and I currently live two miles from the old Sunbeam factory (now a block of flats).

[@donnyrover1]

Fantastic, they have some nerve these drivers , over 100 years old i think these cars , and here we are in 2023 watching (and they sound great too) .. you can see the effort needed too , absolutely brilliant to watch

[@raftermanhoward1883]

Goodwood has to be one of the top events in the world, every possible category included.

[@seandezart8294]

Wonderful to watch these cars AND being driven so enthusiastically - hats off to the drivers and owners ; so entertaining, thankyou so much :-)

[@rk9motorsport59]

The various sounds of these monstrous engines, along with zero safety for the drivers and no front brakes is a feast for the senses, incredible stuff and huge props to them for having balls the size of boulders to drive them this way.

[@IgorLapa]

The 200HP is the king. The car, which Louis Chevrolet personally drove to the land speed record back in December of 1905. Masterpiece. Mark Walker is the great owner of that monument of history.

[@grandudetonesnob7107]

Brave lads indeed!

[@musicauthority7828]

That Bob Walker is a wild man in the Darracq working that giant steering wheel. basically sitting out in open on a crate on a chassis without any body work. there's no doubt that dude is badass. I have driven race cars before but I'm sure if I could do what he does. the British I have to say know a thing or two about auto racing. the competition was incredible that out of those first five cars on the track. they were trading places so many times a person really couldn't say who was going to win the race until they were right at the finish line. but Bob Walker's kid ended up taking the win that was definitely some fantastic racing. I could watch much more auto racing like that for sure. these guys make NASCAR look like a bunch of slobs.

[@stranraerwal]

Music Authority: I'm not sure whether "you're sure or not sure that you could do what he does" Could you make up your mind, please?

[@Spidehman]

One day I'll try and build a car like these. Must be the most visceral and personal driving experience you could ever have.

[@dubsydubs5234]

That Darracq isn't a car it's a rolling chassis, not one piece of bodywork. 😁

[@bobuncle8704]

What a race. Could watch a match longer race, but I don’t know what the drivers would think of that. I tell ya. I wouldn’t want to run into the back of one of those pointed back ends

awesome cars, how fast are they in such a race?

[@JohnWalker-sn9fq]

What's the average speed per lap? About 80-90 m.p.h?

[@revelare_xvii6269]

The reason the cars were driving so slowly was because of the massive balls of the drivers weighing them down.
