[@nigelsears7191]

[@josephbarker5883]

Thanks Ivan and your wonderful team for another fantastic post 👍❤️

[@tomday7309]

Well done! Ivan ,"It's rainin' put the rain tire on!"

[@colinhead284]

Nice bit of back door frame notching on the sprinter to miss the " knock offs "

[@samrodian919]

I have just noticed that as well lol

[@retromechanicalengineer]

I do hope you can find a few extra horses for Tom, I think he'll put them to good use. Thanks Ivan, Suzie and John.

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

This is a load of fun to watch and that is one heck of a nice car for Tom to race in. My hat is off to you gentlemen for putting it together and Suzie for filming it.

[@peterwardle572]

It is a master piece, but more importantly it is driven as it should be, no trailer Queen this beast.

[@gazzafloss]

We could say..."one thing I remember about Goodwood, it were always rainin'!". Wonderful stuff Ivan, always great to spend time with the "Shed Racing" crew. Tom, I used to warm my hands on the exhaust of my motor bike, get some electric heated gloves 👍.

[@CarClassicTV]

Good idea, if the forecast looks the same I think I’ll invest! T

[@jesscourt9068]

Epic! I cannot believe the effort you all put in for this. Thank you, i cant wait for the next one.

[@malcolmpettett5957]

Another excellent shakedown video ❤

[@davidforeman8347]

Once again I'm not getting my own work done as I sit here in front of my computer watch this great racing and listening to the stories being told!! It all great for me! Best of luck in the next one!! (Alberta)

[@forsh3546]

I'll bet Tom was glad of the Anglesea "quick rack" adjustment when inspecting His Grace' lawn!

[@CarClassicTV]

100%!

[@lotus7even]

Natalie and I enjoyed meeting you both on Wednesday look forward to seeing the Hall and Scott racing at the Members Meeting. Be great to hear more from Ivan on his Escort and 2002 racing days in the 1970’’s

[@pashakdescilly7517]

On your latest video, you show the 54mm Miller carburettor that came with the car. It will give 33% more inlet area than the two 33mm carburettors on the car now.

[@jrnmller1551]

Exellent, thanks to all involved!

[@reglockhart8417]

What a great chap to watch can’t wait for next video 😊

[@Broadspeedturbo]

A pleasure to meet you and Suzy on Wednesday. Thanks for all the videos. John

[@chrissayers1384]

Thanks for sharing Ivan lets get a bit more BHP out of her great video 🇬🇧👍

[@SimonCaudwell-yo7xh]

So interesting to see your process of development. It appears to handle very well and Tom likes the wet. I look forward to watching the engine tweaks, i guess not an engine designed to rev much higher?

[@RobertGott-c3f]

Just amazing Thank you

[@mikesage9544]

Super sweet downchange from Tom at the corner before the chicane. Sometimes, I really miss ingerland and especially my home circuit Goodwood. Catch up soon Ivan. Take care all of yoos. Mike in the Forest of Blackness.

[@stevepeake433]

What a brilliant video. They are getting better and better and in this case the footage of the car going around Goodwood is tremendous. Looking forward to following the 'performance mods', more testing and then the actual races.

[@pauldrury9695]

Another great 1/2 hour of thrills and technical knowledge. Love it. Thanks to all and Happy Easter Weekend Cheers, Paul.

[@johnacton5417]

In absolute agreement with Ivan about Oulton Park circuit - 2.72 miles I seem to recall. I marshalled there in the late sixties to early seventies. Witnessing probably Ivan but also Jim Clark three wheeling a Lotus Cortina through Knicker Brook. Great video.

[@colinspittles9327]

I saw you out testing the Hall & Scott last Tuesday driving towards Worminghall. It looked and sounded great. If it gets much wetter around Ickford and Shabbington perhaps you should look into amphibious vehicles. It’s a bugger on a bike.

[@suziepilkington5600]

Agreed

[@forsh3546]

Love the fit in the Sprinter! - Snug as snug can be!

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

The Monarch is really twichy in the corners!

[@daviddjerassi]

Your 100% on the ball Ivan he needs a rear view mirror to stop him looking behind the H&S was flying loved the video Thank you all Team shed Racing.

[@CarClassicTV]

I do like showing off my owl skills though

[@stevebettany8778]

Comical that some people assume that because you talk in the videos John must be doing all the work.

[@glynluff2595]

Do tell us about the Alvis as it gave me great joy to see it race!

[@daleskidmore1685]

I've marshalled at Goodwood for the TWMC sprints a couple of times. When it rains, it rains horizontally. It is a lovely circuit. Looking forward to seeing Tom race, I will be rooting for him.

[@CarClassicTV]

👍

[@stan525]

testing and working out the bugs. here is hoping that Ivan can find more Revs for Goodwood!

[@shoominati23]

If I was you, I would do what a 'Garragista' would have done back in the 50s like Vanwall or ERA and up the compression to 8:1 by milling the heads or cylinder block, and box the sides of those conrods in (I saw that Ed Pink did that do the actual Peugeot Twincam engine that you modelled that special on btw) and I bet that heads could benefit from some porting for better gasflow. Sometimes just generally blueprinting an engine can make it come alive

[@lancerbiker5263]

It's hard not to like that Tom guy. (Heated motorcycle gloves?) I can relate to him preferring the wet as is much more fun. Clutch seems to be working a treat. Too bad tires selection is minimal, but is same for all I'm sure. I have an ongoing issue with my wife when I want to keep things I think will prove useful sometime. (Hoarder?) I envy the young guy/s that hang around your shop. Can't wait for the race. No onboard cameras I believe. Perhaps "the girls" can be posted around the track for phone recordings...😉

[@simes205]

I’m there for testing on Tuesday. See you at the members meeting!

[@shadetreemechanicracing22]

Reminds me of the time I was in my KIA Rio chasing a Pontiac Trans Am around the track. I would catch him in the corners, and he would pull away in the straights.

[@90FF1]

🤭🤭 🤭

[@mreckes9967]

I wonder how many of these outrageous old specials are still being driven on circuits and hillclimbs etc? Must be quite a few of them as you often see them in the background etc.

[@BerlietGBC]

Marvelous ❤

[@terence-eo1md]

Try the Barry Sheen trick with the washing up gloves to waterproof the hands & stop the freezing !.

[@CarClassicTV]

Great shout thanks

[@glynluff2595]

Reading about octane rating at WWI I note it was rated at 42 octane. In WWII it was octane 72 and 68 for lorries but 100 for aircraft. Today, E 10 is 95 and E 5 is 97.

[@CarClassicTV]

Yes it doesn’t come out in the video but I was asking him for the cheapest 💩 he had and 102 octane is the lowest on offer at Goodwood

[@philtucker1224]

If that Hall Scott was an inch wider it would be on the external trailer! Lovely to see Goodwood again, (will you go to the Revival or FoS Ivan?)

[@Lucky_Red_Fish]

When are we going to see Ivan's book of stories?

[@lanceneuman9528]

Thanks

[@chrishill5166]

Love the van back door mods. Johns doing?

[@burlatsdemontaigne6147]

'ASDA' petrol! lol

[@bodgitscarper5353]

Brilliant

[@HansFormerlyTraffer]

Does it ever NOT RAIN in England?

[@samrodian919]

Sometimes lol we have had quite a wet winter this year. Hopefully once the April showers have gone we get a reasonably dry spring. Summer it will probably piss down like it did last year lol

[@gazzafloss]

Maybe when it's snowing...

[@PhilONeill]

Better than an Easter egg :)

[@90FF1]

Does the car have a timing adjustment control inside the cockpit? Would the ability to tweak the timing on the go, be of any benefit? I hope the new rear view mirror doesn't block my front row seat vantage point. 🙂 Absolutely great videos.

[@gazzafloss]

I think it does have ignition timing adjust, being ex aero engine running magneto ignition.

[@CarClassicTV]

It does but with all the sideways I’ve not had much time to play with it

[@michaelmason5459]

Buy Tom some heated gloves, when your concentration on cold hands it's not fully on driving, a little bit of comfort goes a long way.

[@johnrebus1641]

So A "Hard Plug" plug is a colder one like NGK 7 or 8 & a "Soft Plug" is hotter one like 5 or 6. Is this correct. Makes nearly as much sense as Nearside & Offside !

[@erichlausch9886]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@asciimation]

When you run the carbs dry doesn't it end up running lean for a little while? Is that bad for it or is the time so short it doesn't matter?

[@shed_racing]

it doesn't matter...

[@simonvalente2187]

What about... An Ivan open day once a year?

[@stevewilliams2498]

Isn't it NGK ?

[@richvandervoort2950]

Since the engine is only 5 to 1 wouldn't an increase in compression be an easy route to more power?

[@shed_racing]

exactly what we're thinking about....

[@nigelroberson8911]

Ivan a Suzie, the Christian and Gerry of proper motor sport.

[@russellwhite7407]

👍🇦🇺

[@hpterrick]

Is that Asda racing fuel?😄

[@shed_racing]

Yes exactly....

[@rustynut9uk897]

Buy a modern fire stick extinguisher 10 times better.

[@jamest.5001]

Maybe HAULING SCOTT Is more fitting!!

[@Chunkychucky]

Another great video Ivan & Team! Would love a video on the old racing Grey Lady, I was at the Revival that year and loved seeing the car going so quickly! No idea what happened to it since it sold at auction years ago, seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth :(
