Thanks for uploading this. It reminds me of the historic meetings at Crystal Palace in the late 60s and early 70s. The sound of 2 or 3 supercharged ERA's screaming alongside each other around the corners with one rear wheel smoking like Dot Cotton was something I'll never forget :-)
It's really astonishing how much fun can be had out of the small quick cars with well tuned small displacement engines. There are some superchargers in the mix, helps with the audio variety. Beats NASCAR and F1 for entertainment, since both aforementioned platforms are like a package of Ore cookies, all the same and enforced conformity. These cars vary in a lot more than paint jobs and they all have their own charm and "carisma"!!
Wonderful...to see. Wonderful to hear.. Great day for all The nostalgia for these classics is far more appealing than the modern ones. (my humble opinion🤔) Although don't get me wrong..some of the modern stuff is great...just too much 'tech'..
What joy....noise ..superchargers ...single seaters ...v twins ...fabulous.. Maximum Respect ....these things must be a real handful Even over that short distance ,, would love to try it!.. Those Type 35B ? Bugattis keep up time at Goodwood Time trials with much newer machinery...he was a Genius ... Check out the Vids on RU-vid ...Mighty impressive for their time. 200 Kid .
The sounds are just a beautiful symphony!! And some of these cars look like a real handful! I'd give a left nut just to drive one, any one of them up the hill, even if I suck and only go 20 mph!!
It's for the steering. It is there in order for the contact patch of the tire to line up with the steering kingpin, to lighten the steering. No power steering at the time. Plus, it gives some understeer to counteract the tendency of live rear axle cars for oversteer.
@@jcgabriel1569 Cool - I guess later we learned to angle the kingpin or steer axis outward to intersect the contact patch and minimize the scrub radius.
@@mccanlessdesign on other cars, like 1930s Alfa Romeo and Maserati, they angled the steering kingpin as well. That way, they won't have to put on a lot of positive camber. But they still had to retain positive camber because of the narrow tires, and, the aforementioned inherent oversteer because of the live rear axle.
@@mccanlessdesign I was just like you a few years ago... Just dig into the internet for books and other resources, and you'll be able to understand, and even appreciate, how and why they did things back then...
Hi Duglet. Looks like the fastest Austin 7 was William Way, Car 19 (Austin 7 Ulster) at 49.77secs on his 2nd event run. I didn't get any footage but it would be worthy of inclusion. All the results can be found at resultsman.co.uk/LiveTiming/EventViewer.php?DB=Resultsman
