Ed 😍

[@charlescrockett6208]

Ed gave his dad the ultimate tribute. I am so glad someone with such class and enthusiasm smashed it. I'd love to see him drive that Gurney Impala next year. I really enjoy your streams. class, class, class

[@GoodwoodRR]

Ed's Impala has driven at Goodwood before. But it is in road car spec, so would not be ready to race.

[@madhukarjonathanminj2772]

this was amazing race to watch live,and the most memorable one

You’re the man, Ed! Tremendous race, you held it all together for that win, not an easy task by any means. Loved the post race interview too, much respect! 👍🏼

[@ashleyweston5420]

Would he have won if Mark's car hadn't broken??

[@jcgabriel1569]

@Goodwood Road & Racing... You could've just named this "A win for our very own Ed Foster", but you named it "Utter chaos". I watched the livestream as you may have known, and that race is easily one of the best of the weekend for me. The rest of the commentating team ribbed him mercilessly when he made a mess of the first start. At the restart, the whole live chat rose in unison, cheering Ed Foster on. And when Mark Cole in the yellow MG B retired the commentators' reaction to Ed leading is priceless (35:35: "Oh my goodness. You can't write this nonsense...")... so does the whole live chat's reaction (I remember we all went wild for that last 3 minutes, urging Ed on to the finish), and eventually, Ed's reaction after winning the race. Simply priceless, I remember grinning and laughing that time...

[@herbbayer9099]

Thank you very much. What a race!

2022 is the 60th anniversary of the evergreen MGB so a lovely way to celebrate.

[@ericcriteser4001]

Super cool to watch. I have two MGBs but qouldnt ever dare do what these guys do with theirs. I did actually race another B on our local freeway once upon a time and did pull slightly ahead, but it was my '64 against a '77. We both topped out above 105 if I recall.

[@paulleggett9735]

Well done Ed, fantastic.

Thanks John! Come to Goodwood and we’ll have a pint!

[@the5thmusketeer215]

@@edfoster1447 HUGE congratulations to you, Ed. 👏😊 Starting on the front row was impressive enough… Then, keeping your cool after the restart, holding things together throughout the race & pressing on for THE WIN was the stuff of dreams… something that your infectiously EXUBERANT reaction, upon crossing the line, demonstrated so well! ⚡️✊🥳⚡️ That was simply one of THE BEST & most heartwarmingly honest reactions to winning a race, that I’ve ever seen… “Head & shoulders” above any other. But then, you’re used to being “head & shoulders” above everyone else! 😉 Speaking of which, my Stepson is 6’ 4” & was trying to buy a classic MGB a Month or two ago, but was finding it too tight a squeeze to fit his knees under the Steering Wheel... Could I please ask what adjustments were made for you in the cabin, to accommodate your height? Many Thanks & Sincere Congratulations to you, once again. ~ LOUIS C.

[@edfoster1447]

@@the5thmusketeer215 Thank you for the kind words. The win was very unexpected...! The best bet when you're tall in an MGB is to make sure the seat is pretty much on the floor, and then the key one is to go for a slightly smaller steering wheel. Too small and it's a nightmare to turn at low speeds, but you don't want one of those huge ones some of them have!

[@the5thmusketeer215]

@@edfoster1447 Thank you Ed; much appreciated. I’ll pass that on to my Stepson. We might even make it to Goodwood for the first time, next year. Have been wanting to attend for ages but something always gets in the way. 😣 Hopefully, next year, we’ll finally get there… 🤞😐 In the meantime, I’ll have to content myself with watching all of the splendid coverage on Channels like this.

Superb race !

[@plap.]

That many mgbs all still running that hard at the same time is amazing

[@redbarchetta8782]

I first thought you were making a joke. 'That many mgbs all still running' 😉 BTW, I own one as well. 👍

[@plap.]

@@redbarchetta8782 Sort of a double entendre there. That way its funnier more than offensive while expressing both thoughts that came to my mind. Spent many disappointing days as a kid waiting for Dad to get his '64 running so we could go for a ride. Usually because the exhaust ripped off the weekend prior. The car was only 6 or 7yo then. Older than I was so I always gave it some slack.

[@redbarchetta8782]

Awesome finish!

THAT is a happy guy!

[@lesshrubb203]

Ed, sometimes great things just happen. Well done mate!

Because of the amateurish start and first lap cockups, the best part of the MGB race coverage was the farming coverage 🐖🐄🤠✌️👍🏁🇺🇲 The eventual winner outcome was emotionally satisfying ✌️

[@teamangie2051]

Fantastic commentary.

[@ezequielmenchaca241]

Hermosa carrera complicada pero que gran festejo un verdadero logro ganar en Goodwood

[@ernesto003plus]

26:45 I don't know what the commentators looked at while talking: In fact, no. 9 was overtaking and had already occupied the racing line, what no. 67 either didn't recognise or didn't accept. So no. 67 pushed no. 9 from the track towards the grass. No. 9 even seems to slow down in order to avoid a collision. No. 67 isn't the innocent party here at all...

[@danielpeters9125]

Goodwood has stricter rules about overtaking - gentleman’s racing. Maybe something to do with that?

[@edfoster1447]

@@danielpeters9125 Stirling Moss was asked whether Goodwood was just "gentlemen racing" once and he replied: "Absolutely not, because I am not a gentleman!" There is no quarter given!

[@ashleyweston5420]

Couldn't agree more, and the commentators obviously think he's a hero too. Don't understand why??? Mark Cole deserved to win!

[@TheCerovec]

Exactly. When he was in the front row on the second start I just thought that's not right.

[@davidpengilly400]

I suppose in racing you take whatever luck comes your way but surely when three of the four front cars break down , your car is clearly faster than the fifth place and the car in 6th has an off which slows all the pursuing pack down it becomes a little bit of a pyrrhic victory. That plus all the damage has left me confused about the whole thing. Why would you move someone up from 20th place to the front row because of a red flag? What happened to race order after the first start? Wouldn’t you black flag a car with a tyre rubbing on a wheel and they start from the pit lane? How about one whose bonnet catch has failed??

[@edfoster1447]

To be fair David, I only dropped to 10th rather than 20th! It was classed as a start line accident so the race had to be restarted. I’ve had enough bad luck in my career to take this one without any bad feelings!

Could have been a battle for 2nd for all we know!!! While I'm bitchin...Similarly , just before what looks like a pass, the people in the booth break away to the pit just to look at someone?
