The first five laps of the 2018 Kinrara Trophy will surely go down as some of the most exciting action the Goodwood Circuit has ever seen! #GoodwoodRevival
This should be an official World Championship throughout the year! It's so entertaining to watch. So much style, so much balls running hard those classics!
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any help you can give me
@Benton Joseph i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
E-Types are mega-cool, and 250s are many millions of dollars, but a 250 Breadvan made by a Count who served in Mussolini's cabinet and who commissioned the car specifically to spite Enzo Ferrari at LeMans? That is the kind of car that doesn't have a price....you bet it can race, though!
When I am a spectator at classic car races, the only type of racing I attend these days, I am in one place for a length of time. And what does that mean? I get to see the whole field go past me, not just the usual head for or five places that TV cameras provide. Being there, you see more of these beauties, at home I will never get tired of the Bread Van.
This means nothing. You have to consider that the 250 GTO (the Breadvan was its derivate) where built in early 60s to compete in specific racing class (Group 3), not the highest at that time. So they had to be limited to stay within the class regulation. The E-Type had its own racing version to compete in the same class, so we are comparing two similar cars. If we follow your logic, any racing car should be faster of any road car. So a Renault Clio Cup should be faster than a McLaren P1...
Watching this just brings Jeremy Clarkson's words to mind. "These cars don't grip, they handle" is what he said when racing the AM DB4GT against Hammond's Jag XKSS in season 2 of The Grand Tour.
That breadvan is a bar brawler, always up for a fight. Had the pleasure of helping it relieve itself at the Hungaroring, where it proved no slouch either. Though from what I was told, it did get bruised up pretty badly now and then, thougj nothing that couldnt be fixed.
Could you please upload the full races? I'd love to be able to see all of the action from the 2018 FOS. 🙂 Thank you for all of the great uploads just the same.
The 250 GTO may have been damaged early on and retired, but it came back the next year with a vengeance. In the 2019 running of this race, the same GTO (with the same driver pairing as this one) took pole, and led almost the whole 1 hour of racing, the only time it didn't lead the race is when it came into the pits for the mandatory driver change.
I knew the E type is an incredible road car, but I never really realized it was an awesome race car as well. Goodwood is so great, shame my 1972 Puma GTE is not old enough to enter a race (after invitation ofcourse)
that blue mouth Etype is always hitting... I've seen it covered with tape on an other occasion, they had brought dozens of blue tape roll "just in case"
Would this scenario ever have played out like this in the '60s w/the E-Type & the Breadvan? Are modern tires the reason the XK-E could keep up with it?
Question for the experts out there - How many times has the one and only Breadvan been crashed and repaired? I do recall one particularly nasty bingle..
Oh boy that 250 GTO! At least it was being driven how it should. As far as I'm aware, there's no insurance if you're on a track? That's would've been an expensive fix!
This is actually beautiful. All those cars being driven how they are supposed to be instead of sitting in some rich guys garage for entirely just so he can sell it for more money later.
I agree but at the same time the E Type was right behind him and the Ferrari screwed up his launch, These men are here to play hard and they know the consequences of not being 100% on it. It's unfortunate he took out the 250 GTO but If anything I'm sure it'll teach him not to mess the launch up again. The E Type didn't really have anywhere to go and he wanted to get moving and preserve his momentum because he did have a good launch. You can also see he tried to swerve right but just couldn't miss it, he also had the Aston on his right. We should just applaud the 250 GTO owner for even taking it to the track to race seeing as most people that owned a 250 GTO would never even drive it, much less race it..
Richard Mines didn't have to rear-end the Ferrari GTO, but why not go ahead and do it, it's not like you get that chance very often - incredible that he seized the opportunity to slam a GTO for fun and cause at least $200k in damage.
Thankfully I believe it is a replica (I've been through www.barchetta.cc and no GTO is owned by Pearson or Smith, or has that colour scheme. Gary Pearson was one of the drivers of 3451GT in the 2000 Goodwood though). I am surprised though that Goodwood allows replicas ... ? ... although the Bramford 64 GTO that was raced and crashed at Goodwood last year is commonly thought to be a replica, while their real one stays safely at home. Here is a photo of the Pearson car, I believe: www.digitalslrphotos.co.uk/2017/silverstone-classic-media-day/dsc_2378_gary-pearson_1963-ferrari-250-gto-recreation_2017-march-23/ But hopefully easily fixed, real or not :-)
