5 best battles at Goodwood Revival 2019 

Don’t they do historical races at Daytona? I’m pretty sure they’re holding one this November.

A thousand times better than the nascar Hollywood nonsense

nonsense. watch Monterey every year.

Joe H knock and you can enter, the door will be opened

@@Nathan-bd6cq Sebring runs nostalgia race first week in March every year!Go on Friday for qualifying races !No crowd;hard racing and only cost 10 bucks for pits!

& look at the calibre of drivers who are racing them, top class racers who fancy a break from their high power, high grip, high technology machines.

Some of those toys are worth a pretty penny.

Yes my thoughts exactly. F1 has become a tech demo these days.

F1 is just too fast for some people to watch

Good wood is not cheap as chips

Vero spettacolo, poco denaro ,molta passione.

F1 is just a high speed, high cost parade.I would rather watch the loal car club at their track days.

I agree great racing I love it

I agree, more design variety here. It's pleasing to the eyes

Without A DOUBT

Cheap shot right. Considering these are pulling 1/5 the cornering and braking. Guess you’d also rather watch kids skate on a frozen lake than proper hockey. 🧐

If only there was a was you go way way faster then on that bicycle. Oh wait there is f1

Stefan 267 there are battles in every motorsport not just one.

Anthony W Lee All of them racing in a pack like that put a huge grin on my face!

Now you have it!

Then you kight like japanese racing series

Chunky Buster a very rich nutter

Someone who appreciates a car for its racing prowess rather than arbitrary money value. And can afford parts.

Lovely comment :-)

When you're lying on your deathbed reflecting on your life, "I owned a £6m Ferrari Dino" somehow pales next to "I raced a £6m Ferrari Dino around Goodwood".

Well, the owner of the 246S definitely would want to keep the car racing. That very car had won at the Revival more than any other car, apparently.

That Austing/Jag finish I nearly pissed myself so thrilling.

Hi Daryl, they are available now at www.goodwood.com/grr exclusively to GRRC Members and members of the GRRC Fellowship.

@Luffaman it was not ignorant being that I've been to numerous vintage events and almost none of them have been like the racing I had seen here. Plus I even race vintage 911 in vscca and you can tell who's really driving to win or who's just out there for fun. Your reply is ignorant lol

A lot, but - as always - it’s the power to weight ratio that makes all the difference. The reason that all of these wonderful historic racing categories at the annual Goodwood Revival are so exciting to watch, is that they involve so many different makes of car, driven by many highly accomplished drivers, the best of which know exactly what the strengths and weakness of their chosen cars and their principal rival’s cars are. Hence, you get so many of these amazingly improbable looking “DAVID & GOLIATH” battles, whereby small engined but very light and nimble cars out-corner big and heavy brutes who have the horsepower to catch them again on the straights... So the tussles continue, back and forth, lap after lap, with driver skill and finesse making all the difference in tipping the scales one way or the other, plus the additional skill of judging how best to exploit their car’s strengths, while not being so aggressive as to run short of brakes or tyre grip before the end of the race. The annual, 3 Day Goodwood Revival meeting is without a doubt the most exciting motor racing event held anywhere in the world, and once motoring enthusiasts witness it live, on TV, or on RU-vid, they suddenly wake up to what a colossal technology and electronics driven scam “Formula 1” is and how all of that technology and financial greed has done nothing but destroy a once great motor sport. Yes... despite the phenomenal speed, it’s much safer for the drivers themselves than it has ever been, but even the infinitely slower 1920’s and 1930’s era races at Goodwood are FAR more exciting than any Formula 1 race, and the variety of amazingly quirky and vastly dissimilar cars in every way, add yet another layer of wonderful appeal, that the blandly generic, electronically controlled, corner on rails, yawn inducing machines of Formula 1 can never match. When it comes to breathtaking excitement, honest to goodness racing, spectacular overtakes, and huge spectator appeal... the old adage that “Less is More” definitely applies here... and the fact that so many top racing drivers themselves admit that they hugely enjoy competing in Historic Racing events so much, emphasises how a colossal excess of technological aids has ruined the very essence of driving finesse and finely balanced car control that defines what competitive motor racing was always about... hardly any of which is central to “Formula 1” - where the vehicle engineers and the optimal pit stop strategy all too often decide the outcome of races that would hardly be affected if one swapped many of the drivers over and put them in each other’s cars... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great said!

The5th Musketeer 👏👏👏

Your 'avin a laugh . The great thing was, they were affordable. The A series was good for it's time

You need the length of the trumpets for the high rpm power.

You're correct...

This is their natural environment

Abused is the wrong word. Making a race car a garage queen is neglect. This is what the cars should be doing. Only hurts when they stop racing for whatever reason.

I'm certain somebody must be manufacturing and repairing parts for these cars.

That Jag must be stripped down. I had a 2.4l Sedan which was way over weight with all the fancy wood etc. Wish I had it back except it had an aversion to the winters here in Canada.
