Rowan Atkinson's first ever podium | 2022 Sopwith Cup highlights | 79MM

[@williambenstead1925]

I'm impressed. It seems Rowan Atkinson is just a genius actor and comedic sensation. He's a pretty good race-car driver too! Who would have thought it?

[@theothertonydutch]

He's bean at it for years.

@@theothertonydutch Well, I was told he owns a pretty impressive car collection, and I guess that would explain why.

Another 30 secs on the end could have given the results and Rowan's podium. Very mean of you!

it's about the "cars"....not the "stars"....:-)

[@delukxy]

@@stratman9449 For Goodwood, the combination of cars and stars has always been important. It a big part of why visitors pay LOTS of money to attend. You can also mingle with said stars in the paddocks and elsewhere at no extra cost. You can become part of the scene. It's almost a unique atmosphere.

How do you define "actual race cars"?

[@calbackk]

@@trueaussie9230 I was thinking on formula 1 etc cars.

[@trueaussie9230]

@@calbackk You do understand that the cars in this video are 'Historic' race cars, built and tuned for track racing and to a higher standard and achieving better times than those racing in their era?! They're not just 'some old banger'.taken on the track for a laugh. Where does Jack Brabham's 1959 Formula One winner fit in your definition? What falls within your all encompassing "Formula 1 etc cars" category? Do you know the meaning of the word / phrase 'etcetera' / 'et cetera' ('etc')?! What race cars are 'similar to' 'Formula 1 cars'?!

[@calbackk]

@@trueaussie9230 , You seem to bent on quarrelling with me. First Aussie I had that experience with, and I have visited several times. Yes I do know all the things you are pointing out. A real race car to me is a car that is both designed and built for racing only, and I don’t mind if you don’t agree. Of course there are many road cars used for racing which are completely rebuilt for that purpose. These are of course also race cars, but not in the true sense that I mentioned. NB this is my opinion. Greetings from Sweden

[@Australia-ky7kx]

I couldn't believe my eyes. On the grid was a Standard Vanguard Six, a car so rare now as to be unknown by even British car fans. I still can't believe what I just witnessed, a grid of cars one never sees racing but happy to accept the bliss.
