American(NASCAR Fan) Reacts to Goodwood FOS! F1, V8 Supercars, NASCAR, Touring Cars, Classics 

Here in Australia there are companies like Rare Spares that do nothing else but make modern retro spare parts, if you get my meaning, to keep classic cars like these running. It's a whole cottage industry these days. Engines may be of varying levels of originality; Dick Johnson's 1984 Falcon, for example, is a time capsule that has never been touched since the day it finished its last race - even the oil stains are authentic. For a lot of cars, though, they're only "the car" in the sense that it's the original bodyshell and they've been re-created to some specific era or race. Some might even be replicas. 3:57 Looks like the Ferrari Breadvan. 6:45 is an Arrows A10, an F1 car from 1987. Engine was the BMW turbo that famously produced so much power the dyno couldn't measure it, rebuilt for the team by Megatron. Unfortunatey by 1987 pop-off valves had arrived, so the engine's only real advantage was gone. 7:54 is a Tyrrell 012, another F1 car from 1983. Stuck with a Cosworth V8, just about the only non-turbo engine on the grid by that point, they tried to make the car super-light to compete. They got caught cheating in 1984, but that's a long and rather sordid story. 8:20 Looks like an Aussie S5000 car, a modern reboot of classic Formula 5000 from the 1970s, powered by a 5-litre Ford Coyote V8. Good cars, fun to watch, they usually pair up with TCR events here in Straya. Might be wrong though, it could be a Formula 2 car or something. 8:58 is an Embassy Hill, a mid-1970s F1 car from the great Graham Hill's own team. It does sound awesome, Cosworth DFVs always do! 10:44 Looks like a Maserati 4CLT, the F1 ride of choice for the amateur enthusiast in the early 1950s. 11:05 Is some sort of Indy roadster, early 1960s. 11:38 Is an Alfa Romeo 155 touring car from what looks like the 1995 BTCC. 12:55 Is another BTCC car, a Renault Laguna from the late 90's. 13:04 Is a Rover SD1 from around 1984. 14:20 Is a Lotus 77, I think, from 1976 - just before the team brought in ground effects and changed the game forever. 14:44 Ah yes, the famous Tyrrell P34 from 1976 and '77. The idea was to remove the drag of big front wheels rotating in the airflow, then make up for the lost front-end grip by having more wheels. It worked to a degree, as the lost drag was calculated to be worth an extra 40hp from their DFV engine, and they won a race (the '76 Swedish GP at Anderstorp, if memory serves). But performance fell off as Goodyear stopped bothering to develop the special front tyres, and eventually they just gave up and went back to a normal layout. 15:14 Lotus 49 from 1968. The first F1 car to carry commercial sponsorship. Jim Clark died early in the year so Graham Hill carried the team, ultimately winning the championship at the final round (I told you a DFV always sounds amazing!).

3:26 The new Aston Martin Valkyrie, it has a 6.5L V12 built by Cosworth 8:06 this is a Praga R1, it’s what sim-racing youtuber Jimmy Broadbent now races 9:02 this is a new Le Mans Hypercar the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG) 007. It’s made by an American team based in Sleepy Hollow, New York though these racing cars will be built by in Italy by Dallara. They also make road car versions of their race cars. 13:16 correct it is a McLaren, a McLaren 720 GTX to be exact. It’s basically a GT3 race car that they’ve modified to be even faster 13:30 another SCG, this one is a road car, the 004S. Comes with 3 choices of engine. A GM 5.0L LT4 twin turbo V8, a GM 6.2L Supercharged LT5 V8 or a Nissan 3.8L twin turbo VR38DETT V6. No electric powertrain available 15:50 this is a development car, it’s being used to develop hydrogen powered cars for racing, the chassis is a modified LMP3. The project is called ‘Mission H24’ and they hope to race a hydrogen powered car in the Le Mans 24 hour in 2024. They also have another car newer than this that uses an LMP2 chassis.

Fun fact: the track is a driveway. No exaggeration, it's Lord March's driveway. He hosts the whole festival in his front yard. Rad dude, right? :D You can see his house just after turn 2.

A lot of these car's are just retired from track duty's and are original.

4:02 is a Fiat S76 from 1910. They had a 28 litre (not a typo) 4 cylinder engine producing around 300hp. 15:01 is a Tyrrell P34 F1 car from the 1970s

8:48 is the easiest one of the lot, the most distinctive helmet in F1, 1996 F1 World Champion Damon Hill driving one of his late father Graham's Embassy-Hill cars from the early 1970s.

16:29 was a Hillman Imp. Think Corvair that shrunk in the wash. Engine at the back too. The difference is Imps really handled well and the engine was very advanced for the early 60s Alloy block & head, OHC, steel crank and good for 7000rpm which was just as well with only 875cc to play with. A full race one taken out to 998cc might make 110 bhp or more at 9000rpm

In 2011 Indianapolis speedway sent some of its original 100 year old bricks to Lord March and they now are a permanent marker for the start line of The Festival of speed.

8:50 Imagine the goosebumps, Damon Hill driving his father´s team prototype.

You're enthusiasm about car's is infectious, you are re-ignighting life into me, and making me want to watch more old rally programs like the circuit of Ireland.

The car that lost the wheel at 4:17, AKU 991 is a 1935 Aston Martin Ulster. 1.5 litre sports car made before tractor manufacturer David Brown rescued the company after WW2. Where the DB models came from.

The Old car at about 4:10 minutes in is the 1910 FIAT S76, ‘The Beast of Turin’. A four cylinder, 28.3 litre, (1730 cubic inch), monster capable of 132mph.

15:37 - mcmurtry spéirling, super machine bending the laws of physics

3:26 the Angry green car is an Aston Martin The tall old red car is Fiat’s “Beast of Turin” S76 300HP The culprit is a four-cylinder engine that has a displacement of 28.5-liters, (1739.17 cubic inches)which developed around 300 HP, at just 1.900 rpm. 6:15 Rover SD1 9:20 MK 2 Lotus Cortina 10:50 ERA 14:15 F1 John Player Special J.P.S. Lotus 72D 14:30 1976 F1 Tyrell P34 6 wheeler 15:36{the little thing} Aussie racing car series (basically a Go kart with a scaled down saloon body)www.google.com/url?q=en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aussie_Racing_Cars&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjWoq_H4MD3AhVCgOYKHTRXCUIQFnoECAEQAg&usg=AOvVaw3VrQh1R0BgUdlLZm7X7ZJe 16:15 Hillman imp

Having been to the show about 10 times I can say that about 95% of these classics are fully original and preserved specifically for these events. However a very select few have had newer parts fitted

The Goodwood events are great. Goodwood also provide a huge amount of coverage where they explain more about the cars running and the times they set against each other. Always learning something new from the coverage. Earliest this year may be the 1903 Mercedes race car being pushed hard. So near 120 years old. Duke of Richmond's driveway. Wikipedia has some of the amazing story of the Duke or Lord March.

14:49 This is the Tyrrell P34 F1 Car from 1976. The Tyrrell P34 F1 car had six wheels primarily to improve aerodynamic efficiency and increase grip. By using smaller front wheels, it reduced drag and improved airflow to the rear wing. Additionally, the four front wheels increased the contact patch with the track, providing more traction and better cornering grip. However, the design proved to be complex and difficult to optimize, leading to its eventual abandonment in favor of traditional four-wheel setups.

At 10:35 ish That is a Cheetah, they were built by Bill Thomas. The engines ranged from 327 small block Chevys, to 427 BBC/ dual quads. The Driver/Pilot sat over the rear axle.

The final Jaguar F-Pace was bee driven by Terry Grant. He's a master of car stuntwork. He actually drove the entire length of the hill climb on 2 wheels in a Range Rover

You should check out the Leadfoot Festival. It's New Zealands version of the Goodwood FOS.

The very old tall skinny fire-breathing open wheel race car near the beginning is a FIAT S76 racer from 1911. Nicknamed the "Beast of Turin", it has a 28.4 liter 4 cylinder engine. It was lovingly restored over many years and began 'racing' in vintage events a few years ago. And you thought FIAT only built tiny engined cars. :) You asked about rebuilding old race cars to new. Formula, prototype, NASCAR, and Indy cars, like AA fuel and Funny Car dragsters, are rebuilt entirely after each race. Vintage race cars are generally rebuilt after a season of racing, unless they require attention more often. Most classes of serious racers must meet safety requirements; fuel cells, roll bars, racing harnesses, etc. Some old vintage race car classes do not require safety ungrades and may run as built in days of yore.

8:10 That’s a Praga. Jimmy broadbent (a summer racing RU-vidr) is now a driver for them in britcar

The corvette at 15:22 is a special corvette made by arrows if i'm correct for Sam Schmidt a quadriplegic. (He crashed in januari 2000 testing for the next indy car season) he steers with his eyes and use the brakes and gas with pipes he blows in (I heard the commentators talk about it during the live stream)

14:40 i an old prototype of an F1 to make the max traction in the torns Exist even a prototype that have 4 wheels in the back for max power on the ground

Car at 9:17 is the British Ford Lotus Cortina mk 2 from 1966 to 1970. Double overhead cam Lotus head used so still fast today. In Australia the more basic earlier GT and GT 500 Cortinas with pushrod engines won the first three Bathurst 500 events in 1963 64 and 65. Australian built first race specials Beating V8 Studebaker and Dodge Phoenix cars with crap brakes and high fuel consumption needing many pit stops. Even the EH Holden six cylinder cars lost out to the Ford Cortinas. Took the bigger engined Morris mini Cooper S to beat them in 1966 once the race special GT500 big fuel tank race special Cortinas were banned and the minis had their problems sorted out. The Cooper S then took the first nine places in 1966. The small blue car was the later Clubman version of the Mini. Nothing to do with the recent BMW mini, just using a highly regarded name.

Definitely on the bucket list to go there

Hey there, @IWrocker, About the 6 wheel, 6x2 F1 specimen on timestamp: 14:34 - 14:51 - this is a true F1 car, before the limitations of FIA. An excellent Turbo Era specimen. The 4 smaller wheels in the front provide better stability of the front end, by spreading the forces between 4 wheels instead of two, allows the front to take more aggressive driving without losing its balance. Cheers dude.

The car starting at 9:18 Are a 69-70 Ford Cortina. Mk2. They basically had the same engines as the Ford Escorts. Mk1-Mk2. So they were easy to tune. And get great amount of effect from.

I had quite a few of these older, classic cars. Including the 6 wheeler. Yep. I owned every one of them. Of course, I was a kid, and they were scalextric (slot cars), haha!

14:45 I may be wrong but I think it's a Tyrrell F1 from the mid 1970's. It only raced one season I think.

Great video! Loved your comments and enthusiasm. I've been to this event every year for 25 years. You have to go one day. Meeting the mechanics that spannered the cars when they competed is great with all their stories. I've met so many of my hero drivers over the years too and many of the cars that appear you will never see anywhere else. Keep up the good work!

4:29 - That is a real, historical car. Not a replica. To loose a tire is probably worth.... I don't know but surely more than I can afford.

That massive car at 4:04 is a 20,000 cc Alfa Romeo top speed car with a tiny supercharger

The gold and blue prototype looking thing is a Prags R1 Only racing series I know it competes it in britcar

14:35 It was a real F1 car actualy. They had regulated the wingspann for the frontwing, (thats why you see all those F1 carrs with those tiny frontwheels from this Era) and your wheels had to fit inside this wideness, they did get smaler and smaler wheels, and didnt had that much downforce anymore. Untill someone came up with this solution 🤣

That tiny black batmobile is a McMurtry electric fan car. At standstill, it creates 2000 lbs of downforce, just with the fan. 1000 kg of weight, 1000 horsepower. This year it broke the Goodwood hillclimb record, it's the fastest thing they've ever had there.

1:50 I believe Mercedes liked using big fat V8s aswell you know the most american engine in a german race car 😅

The grey thing at 15:44 holds the course record. It’s a fan car. It actually sucks itself to the track for huge downforce.

4:44 it's a old f1 from the time that Sena still drove

10:26 - 10:42 That's a Chevy Cheetah. It was an American sports car designed and engineered entirely with American components, and built between 1963 and 1966 by Chevy performance tuner, Bill Thomas. It was designed to be Cobra killer, but the rules have changed, and the Cheetah never raced again. Under the hood, is a 327 cu in Small-Block V8 engine from the C2 Corvette.

Red car at 11:00 is a 1954 Kurtis Kraft Offenhauser Indy car. Did a good time for a two speed gearbox.

At 13:00 , yes a Rover. Made lots of sedans for mainly right hand drive markets. The big success for left hand drive markets was the Range Rover and Land Rovers. Likely the first SUV that now infest our roads pressuring cars out of existence.

7:30 meet the mustang Mach e

You have a much better knowledge of cars from around the globe than you give yourself credit for. Top job!!

Mini was a clubman don't think they had a cooper in that series. Other little blue buz box was a Hillman Imp a French car from the Rootes group later sold to Chrysler. Rovers ran a aluminum V8 originally from Buick. Hope I'm not pissing in anyone's pocket ..

Check out the brm v16, its fucking mental! 1.5l v16 yes really, with a supercharger running upto 5 bars of boost! Nearly 500 hp from a 1.5l engine in the late 40s!! It sounds INCREDIBLE too

11:30 unfortunately, he met the bales just before the line

The older looking open-wheelers are F1, including the 6-wheel Tyrrell, which was banned after only 1 race (which it won).

Don't know if you realized, but that Hoonigan car at 8:36 is Travis Pastrana

Gold and blue car was a Praga. Orange car was a rover SD1, the Alfa and Renault were BTCC cars from the 90s. The 6 wheel F1 car was a Tyrrell P34 which was banned. Short squat car was a Hillman Imp. The small batmobile was the McMurtry fan car. A lot of cars are original however overhaulled engine, gearboxes and brakes but to original spec. (As a lot continue to race in certain series) You wanna watch the hillclimb competition from Sunday 2022...the winner was a McMurtry electric fan car and was mental! Also check out the Goodwood revival seeing these cars race side by side!

If you have any interest in motorsport history then the Goodwood Festival Of Speed is a must. The range of cars (and drivers) is amazing, and you can wander round the paddock and get really close to the cars. OK, they don't all race up the hill, some just demo, but they're still great to see. What you didn't see in this video is the flint wall, a massive wall the cars have to shimmie round at full speed partway up the hill! Check out also the Goodwood Revival meeting where the historics race around the Goodwood circuit rather than going up the hill.

3:00 - my guess is a 917 Porsche - long-tail?. The car that sheared the axle and lost the wheel (I've done it in a slightly more modern car, just like that) was a 1935 Aston Martin Ulster. Yes, the Valkyrie has a rather awesome engine sound! This is it in engine testing - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o-URmHqQcZk.html This is the car - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-shYtE33Z9Z4.html and testing - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oNY7cC8SyRI.html 9:30 English Ford Cortina. It was available with a Lotus twin cam' engine, but that was rev'ing like a full race BDA... and as that colour and trim was specific to one very well know race team of the era (whose name completely escapes my right now). My dad has a four door "E"-type with the "sporty" 1600 pushrod engine.

The Goodwood hillclimb is totally scary....

13:10 Rover SD1. 3.5 V8 my 1st car. 😁

Goodwood is an amazing festival, been a couple times. You're right that this is just a slither of the attractions, they have all kinds of stuff going on. There's even a rally section where you can go and watch all eras of rally cars powering through a mini rally route. Then you can go into the paddocks and watch them working on any car you can imagine.

Goodwood FOS is an amazing event. The variety of vehicles is astounding and to see and hear them in motion is just fantastic.

15:56 is an prototype Le Mans hydrogene car

the number 60 car is a ford cortina

Gold and Blue car is a Praga R1

Car at 9.20 looks like a Mk 2 Ford Cortina.

It's a Tyrell and it won 1 Grand Prix driven by Jody Schekter

The Rover was an SD1 and the Mini was a 1275 GT with the Clubman body shell.

At 9:35 that is the American Bill Thomas Cheetah race car. Chevrolet 327 engine but a primitive mid sixties US design of suspension meant it made more noise than race actual race wins. Beaten by Cobras, Corvettes and most other racing sports cars of the time. Described as evil handling mostly.

1:21 That's a 2022 WRC-car. This year WRC switched from production chassis to silhouette cars due to the introduction of a mandatory hybrid system.

check out FOS shoot out....worth watching cos they are racing against the clock

The Subaru at 8.45 is driven by Travis Pastrana. He came second in the shoot out this year. The big old red fire breather is a Fiat S76 a.k.a. “The Beast of Turin.” Built for land speed record. 1910s I think. 28.4 litre 4 cylinder!!! 10.30 looks Shelby but it's a chev cheetah by Bill Thomas in the 60s to compete against the Shelbys. Unfortunately the Mello Yello NASCAR crashed into the hay bales and spun this year. Most of the body was wrecked.

@2:53 is a Group C 1982 Porsche 956 that raced at the 24 hour Le Mans. The car @9:17 is a 1966 to1970 Mark 2 Ford Cortina

Damn I love your reactions to the crazy stuff..

17:03 that toyota is from the BTCC, which is a very popular racing series over here in the UK

The Red sportscar at 9:55 are Chevrolet's answer to the AC-Cobra. The Chevrolet Cheetah.

3:31 thats the new aston martin valkyrie, actually designed for next year Le Mans, but cancelled because the CEO want to focus on F1 team. 8:05 is a Praga, from Britcar Endurance 9:07 yes that is a Glickenhaus SCG 007,

I had that elf 6 wheel car for my old AFX track. Car was unbeatable!

3.31 I believe is the new Aston Martin Valkyrie. 6.5 litre naturally aspirated V12. No flywheel. I think around 10,000 rpm?

14:49 - the legenday P34. Interesting concept, didn't worked bad either. But was banned. F1.

yep 5:41 thats 1978-1981 m1

For a Nascar Fan. This guy actually knows a lot about euro cars.

i can't encourage you enough to watch the full 2021goodwood timed shootout, they have their own youtube channel, and it comes with commentary, so you dont miss a thing about any car, plus you even learn a story or two about them

Check out the "Nürburgring 24h", it's an infamous endurance-race on the Nürburgring and the attached famous "Nordschleife". 24h with everything from (barely) converted roadcars to GT3 race cars, GIANT starting field, and a ton of mixed weather.

That first of the old racers, the big red one spitting fire, is called the Beast of Turin. It’s a Fiat, with a 28.5 litre engine. I believe the chassis was found in the Australian outback and Fiat agreed to help with the engine and box etc.

16:55. Rover SG1. Ubiquitous police cars in 1982 during my year abroad in England.

09:18 min. Late 60s Lotus Cortina MK II. Nice, little Ford UK family car gone wild. It runs a watercooled straight-4 of 1560cc / 95.17ci popping out 109 hp to move a weight of 2009 lb (912 kg).

The 6 wheel formula 1 car was a Tyrrell P34, when they first came into the formula 1 race series nothing could beat it on the track, any track because of it's stability around corners & ability to accelerate out of corners where other cars had to wait to straighten up before accelerating.

You should watch Oliver Solberg's Citroen DS3 WRX in 2019

the 6 wheel f1 car (Tyrell) - The idea was to reduce drag from the tire and not disrupt the airflow over the rear wing, I think the principle was sound but it never really caught on (that car 75-76)

The cars - and often engines - are usually original and just incredibly well-kept. Goodwood FOS hosts the hillclimb track (which is the organizers literal private driveway) and it also hosts tons of classic racing events, e.g. the Members' Meeting, at the dedicated Goodwood Circuit (A track from the 50s I believe, that hasn't ever really seen any modifications besides a chicane being added & is still FIA Grade 3 certified for those events, but hosted F1 back in the day). The Goodwood track is also still used for testing sessions sometimes. It sadly is the place where Bruce McLaren, founder of McLaren, died in a crash, as he was testing a Can Am car that went on to win the championship. The rear bodywork came lose and he had a sudden loss of downforce at high speeds on the back straight and swerved into a marshal's bunker just before the final corner. Good wood circuit, like Silverstone, is a WW2 airfield's outer road. It's basically mor like classic silverstone before and infields or new sections were added: A narrow, high-speed circuit with little runoff areas and hard to navigate turns... Or more so, unbanked kinks. The "WTF was that" car was a McMurtry Speirling (irish boutique hyper/racing car manufacturer) - this exact thing has the record for the Goodwood Hillclimb. It uses a rear exhaust fan and venturi tunnels.to suck itself to the ground and creat upwards of 2.5 metric tons of downforce in standstill. It's also all-electric, so it has basically instant torque off the line.

Some of the 50s and 60s cars are original and only bought out for this event and some of the early 1900s cars are worth 10s of millions of dollars each with only 1 or 2 in existence.

11.50 The Toll HRT Holden Commodore V8 Supercar was driven by Garth Tander

4:55 its An Aston Martin but i dont know The model.

The 6 wheeler? The Tyrrell P34 F1 car. A good, brief video on it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Pg9A6t3K3ig.htmlsi=ylsUBTHAkrGa7w-3

The car the wheel fell off of is a 1936 Aston Martin 1.5-litre. The Mini is a 70s 1275 GT. The Renault sedan is a Laguna Mk1 facelift from around the late 90s.

10:27 min. 1960s Cheetah running a Chevy small-block tuned up to 520 hp. Was meant to beat AC Cobras on race tracks but less than 30 were made in total.

The Mercedes at the beginning was definitely in one of the early Gran Turismo games

8:04 This is the Praga R1 EVO, it's from the Czech Republic and they also make civilian cars like the Praga R1R and Praga Bohema. 15:35 This is the Mcmurtry Speirling from the Great Britain.

9.18 is a Allan Mann racing mk2 Ford lotus cortina driven in the 60s by Graham Hill And Jackie Ickx

The Six wheeler formula one was a Tyrell. The little car “”squatting down” was a Hillman Imp and a NASCAR turning right!!!!! Now I’ve seen everything. Lol.

Oh buddy that's the JOS JOHN PLAYER SPECIAL f1 car the one with huge back tires and small fronta

8:49 - F5000 from the early seventies - probably a Lola Chev T300/330 9:19 - Ford Lotus Cortina (1966?) with 1600cc Lotus Twin Cam engine. 14:25 - Tyrrell F1 car from 1976

4:04 Fiat 4cyl 300HP. 4 cylinders inline (4R) huge engine 30 litres 300 HP from year 1911. Each of those 4 cyl is big like hole modern american V8 engine 11:35 Alfa Romeo 155 from 90`s. 2.5 liter V6 300HP European Touring Cars Championchip 12:43 Renault Laguna ETCC from the 90`s 13:00 Rover SD1 / 800 14:26 Renault P34 (6 weeler) made by TYRELL an old Formula 1 champion team in late 70`a and early 80`s 16:06 Jaguar E-Type 16:24 SImca ( French car maker, non existing anymore)

I've actually worked some of these shows. The event is 4 odd days long!! A lot of retired drivers take part in FOS races (and revival races), loads of rare supercars are showcased as well (though not all of them are driven). most of the classic cars ARE originals as far as possible, many are from people's personal collections (often old team managers or retired racers own a number of vintage origanls - you see more of them at Goodwoods Revival festival), it means a lot of them play up on the start line because they aren't good at idling and end up overheating ( you can see it in the back of the shots how many white overalls are running around)

Check out Julian Majzub’s run of the hillclimb in the Bugatti type 35. You will not be disappointed.
