Adrian Wilmott's Aston Martin DB4 GT's bold move ends in dramatic crash during the Kinrara Trophy. Share with a friend that loves Aston Martin #GoodwoodRevival
I like real racing .....slicing and dicing. Hard to find anymore. MotoGP is fun , I'm a fan , but this vintage stuff being driven flat out is spectacular!!
English muscle car, you say? There's an English muscle car somewhere? Does it only turn right? Does it have to pit at tea time? (Just a little ribbing from across the pond. The fire and fury was cool!)
This vintage races are far far far more entertaining than F1 these days. Lift off understeer, Throttle oversteer.... man those Jags are really on the limit!!!!
When you lift off the weight is shifted forward off of the rear tyres. Thus causing a loss of grip within the rear tyres due to a lesser amount of weight on the tyre. Causing lift off OVERSTEER.
@@bogdann1375 never driven a 70's Aussie car then. Ploughing understeer was the norm until you put the hammer down. So every time your belting round a corner really hard and you back off, the factory built understeer comes back to party. It's a typical nose heavy car trait, also a standard feature of front wheel drives when pushed.
Risk taker would be more appropriate. Once Mr. Bond locked up going too fast on an attempted inside overtake while not being inside enough, he should have dropped back and waited. That move only works passing slower stragglers.
Thank you to all the competitors and people at Goodwood for bring us these beautiful and amazing races to the world. I hate seeing these gorgeous machines crash but it would be a far worse fate if they sat in museums collecting dust as static pieces of art. These cars are meant to race!
Yeah, I was bemused by the shock damping. Or lack thereof. But, that's how they rolled (see what I did there?) back when those cars were built. The other thing that amazed me is the slip angles. I guess at least part of it is the tire's aspect ratio. If you drift that much on a modern low profile race tire, you'll turn it into grease in no time, and everyone else will be passing you.
Yes. I used to race Austin Healeys back in the day and i always thought I was quickest when the front anti-roll bar stiffened the front whilst the rear was soft. all of the cars moved about more then compared to today's machinery of course. Happy days!
@@americanAlienBoy It's the bias ply vs radial construction that makes them act like that. Also they're so soft cause there was no aero back then so mechanical grip was everything. Do that in an F1 car you'll bottom out at 60mph.
Did you see how the quarter panels were folded up, bowing out the wheel houses? Lol the whole ass end got scrunched up pretty good. I call that a crash haha
Glad there wasn't too much damage on such a beautiful car. Absolutely love the "grippy bouncing" (I assume that's the technical term?) as he makes his way to the wall.
This are not only classic racing cars but they also are real JEWELS on wheels!!!! See that awesome Aston Martin!!!....Thank you for sharing this race!!!
Thank you Lord March and all who help aid in putting these historic races together each year… It had been truly a pleasure to watch the events you post on RU-vid including the history bits. Hopefully I’ll be able to cross the big pond and watch an event in person in time. Truly appreciate all the hard work that goes into bring all the automakers, drivers, and owners to these events to continue making history
Holy hell! I didn't realize they raced the crap outta these cars, just as hard or harder than the guys running the old American iron, in the vintage races. I didn't think anything would compare to the old Trans Am cars, the GS Vettes, Shelby Daytona Coupes, etc., but these cars are right up there! I can't imagine the value of them either!
I get the frustration of seeing such a legendary car go towards tire walls but those machines dont belong in museums . This is the proper way to use them
So many people have these cars sit pristine in collections and never drive them. Then I look at Goodwood and they’re being driven like they just robbed a bank. I love it.
Yes it hurts seeing such a beautiful car crash, but I'm just glad that they are still driven as intended and don't just sit around in some garage without being moved an inch for years
This is far and away better than these cars sitting in a museum. I'd rather them be used as intended and rebuilt if needed, instead of being locked away in a room. This kind of racing just ads to the history of these vehicles. Outstanding.
This is so hard to watch. Even the thought of one of any of the cars in that race being destroyed is hard to think about. But in the end I am also happy that people are using these cars for what they were made to do.
I know someone who works with the race team that own the Aston , apparently the driver got his foot wedged between the throttle and brake peddle that's why he locked up
It's very sad yet good to see this. Bad cause the Aston Martin DB4 crashed but good because it shows that they really are racing not showing the races.
this is the only right way to drive these cars no matter the value. thank you owners and thank you drivers. it's nice to see the potential of these cars in 2019
I love/hate vintage racing: love to see the classics doing what they were built to do, and this was a good one, usually they baby them, but hate that one of these rare pieces could be lost for ever, but glad to see this db4 wasn't banged up too bad!👌🖒❤🏎🏍
Jaguar an Aston really give you that bit of British taste that I use to enjoy. Hope they'll not gonna lose it chasing acritically last trends. Even BMW, recently deceived me a bit in some occasions, that I find really over the ordinary. Usually I'm so tuned with their designing ideas...
