WIN PERCY Sideways In A 'D' Type 

This is simply glorious! Win Percy's commentary is fantastic. Brilliant driving.

That was some serious wheel work there and a great race. Cars over 60 years old and doing 150 MPH, and sliding through every corner. Just brilliant to watch, the sounds were glorious and Win was perfect with his commentary.

I enjoyed the commentary as it gave one an insight as to what he was doing. Very interesting.

Amazing!

Wonderful, and very good sound engineering, it was nice to be able to hear both the commentary and the engine so clearly. Thanks for this.

Wonderful footage and great commentary from Win Percy, a true gentleman racer.

This is a masterclass in historic sports car driving. Win Percy so fully explains the thinking behind the racing. Thanks for posting this wonderful video.

Exciting! It reminds me of my one lap at Le Mans in a VW Beetle in 1965. It's amazing that those skinny tires had enough grip to stay on the track at speed.

Pure Gold.

what a feeling with the onboard camera ! I love it !!

Just love how they really had to drive those cars. It's constant steering correction all the time. Just marvelous...

Fantastic driving! If this video had been made 50 years ago with Jim Clark behind the wheel I don't think the driving would have been much different.

That was absolutely brilliant and exciting!, many years ago I spent nearly every penny I had on a Formula ford racing car and raced it for the 1982 season in Mondello, it was wonderful and watching this brings it all back!, how I would dearly love to do it again. Well done Win and Tony. Many thanks. Gérard lacey in Ireland. X.

What a great film! So nerve-wracking feeling the Ferrari breathing down the neck of the Jaguar. What a car! He is an excellent driver and it was eye opening to have the explanation. Nursing the tyres. Smoothing out the corners. All the tricks. Not making mistakes. Lovely.

Exciting race, great commentary and wonderful Jaguar in-line 6 sounds !

I'm 52, Win inspired me when I was young, he has just done so again! Thank you for posting. All those "exclusive"," attitude" competitors should take note, in all sports.

Timeless art on wheels, with a sound to please the gods! 👍👌👏😍

Wow! The entire race on board a beautifully pedigreed factory racer running in peak tune with a genuine modern day motor sport master at the controls and on the absolute limit the entire time. This little excursion was eye watering & there is no getting closer to the action than this. Sincere thanks and gratitude to all who toiled away to create this sublime "experience". Fabulous little D-Type with her sweet singing inline six & careful & capable Win Percy gently guiding her fit together like peaches and cream... Absolutely delicious!

Great stuff thanks for sharing 👍🏽

Absolutely epic race! Glorious cars and wonderful moments!

I was marshalling at St Mary's that year. It was the last one I did before I got married. This was always one of my favourite races with all the Listers, D-Types, DBR's and that Dino, spectacularly driven by Tony Dron . Great weekend, except for the Ferrari that got destroyed on the Sunday

Sensational….great driving and camera work…lump in the throat stuff, felt as though I was with you all the way…..

Win the winner!!!fabulous driver, and a gentleman!!!

This is borderline amazing.

Oh my goodness!!! This was sooo exciting!!! I wish I had been there!!

This is one of the most exciting, engaging, and educational motor racing videos I have ever seen. It is simply wonderful to see a driver of this caliber pushing a magnificent D jaguar to the limits of its adhesion, combined with a narrative that puts you right in the driver's head.

super explanatory commentary - thanks. amazing how you are always just on/over the absolute level of grip. like rally driving on tarmac.

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful.

Awesome race. incredible driving on the limit without making a mistake. Real Pro drivers!

Great racing, that’s what motorsports should look like! And Goodwood is just such an amazing place to race cars like that!

Great video & super driving, guess I'll just go out to my garage and enjoy the beauty of my '68 E Type OTS & get ready for this weekends drive.

That was special. I have net Percy twice. Australia and our motor racing history is so much richer for Win's time here. Thanks for posting. Cheers.

Thanks for your comment, you said it all, Win was good for the Australian Touring Car scene, and sure, a great bloke. We are glad to upload this for all to see, a real blast from the past.

Such a respected racer in Australia .

Thank you ever so much for sharing this wonderful experience!! Superb driving (I am jealous), wonderful footage, great car and very nice comments. Thank you sir!

Beautiful Jag Sir!!

Absolutely marvelous racing! I thoroughly enjoyed that from start to finish.

Brilliant commentary and edge of the seat racing.

Just my opinion but I think that the D Type Jaguar is the most beautiful car ever made - at any time.

That car's handling is positively evil. I heard that the D-type is a legendary car but it takes a special person to drive it. Win Percy, you have iron ore in your pants man. Gawd

Absolutely amazing skill at the wheel and pedals of the slightly lively D Type! And what a great insight into the race with his running commentary. It is superb to see and hear that most famous of Jaguars driven as it was intended, throttle barely off the floorpan! Sublime

Loving this.

At a glance WIN PERCY looks like an anagram of NO MERCY! Sure drives like it. BRAVO 🏆

Superb, thank you !

Amazinc run!

Wow, just wow...

Great footage!

Great race,love the d type'

Why does anyone watch Formula 1? It is tedious compared to this. A brilliant watch and makes me keen to pursue the lower levels of club motorsport myself. I'll never circuit race but autosolo, sprints and hillclimbs are within anyone's reach. Well inspired that man!

In period, that Birdcage Maserati would've blown the Lister and D Type into the weeds, but post-period "improvements to the breed" have made them MUCH faster than they were in their youth...

Maybe the best racing I've ever seen. To see the Jag struggling on the tires (can't imagine that the Ferrari did much better), however Percy went to the limits in each corner - and even on the straights - and in the end this (short) wheel-to-wheel fight... And all that with these wonderful cars. How boring is a modern DTM race compared to this.

thanks Niels

perfect

Fantastic just Fantastic . The Real deal !!!

The cars may have been Historic but man, some of the drivers were really Historic in 2021!.

Great driving

Rain-x needs to sponsor this guy.

Did anyone notice the hood coming up?

WOW a D Type in a race, excellent viewing experience! I was visualizing it as a sportbike track rider, and cringed along through the corners. Parts of that track were too unsafe for bikes.

So what you have is a race car, (one not long ago sold for 19.8 million dollars), going flat out and actually racing with the Ferrari Dino, (not sure it's worth but must be in the millions. The Ferrari of today is many times in the hands of people who have money but many cannot drive the car to its potential and many have very view miles. (a drivers car which is not driven, in other words) I have heard the talk for many years about how Ferrari is a complicated car , much of it hand made and that is the reason for its expense. These same people also excuse the maintenance costs and the need for expertise to work on the car. All excuses, IMO, and moving away from what Ferrari racing was about. Porsche and Ferrari had really great race records because of reliability. The older cars wining Lemans many times, a tough 24 hour race. Not engine swaps during the race if you have problems like in modern times. I worked for a guy while in high school who used to repair old english sports cars, Jaguar, Austin Healey, Aston Martin, Triumph, etc. I would stop by being a car nut and ask him about his cars on the lot and talk cars. (I would see DB5's, XKE's, TR 3's, a C Type Jag, a body and frame in the shop which I don't remember what it was but it was bare and looked like a Jag or Maserati race car. I remember him asking me since I stop all the time and talk cars why don't I help out. He threw me right into working on a TR 6. We took apart the seats and re-stuffed, reupholstered them with new leather stitched by hand, redid the interior and since it was fairly clean frame but just dirty/worn interior just did a engine dismantle, clean and redo, new top and repaint. Never had a upholster's needle in my hadn before or paint gun but he would show me and let me at it. My first door was not so good so he had me sand it down and redo ending up doing the complete car. The owner loved it. That same owner brought in a 62 250 GTE which he wanted to hot rod by installing 6 webers instead of the factory three. He wanted a GTO without the cost, although GTO's were not that outrageously expensive in the 1970's. We took apart the engine and rebuilt it. The guy I worked for had never done a Columbo engine but just took it as another machine and did so having me do much or the work . We ran it on a wooden frame hooked to a water can and radiator for cooling and adjusted the valves and carbs on it. This made me see these cars as they were, well built, sophisticated but also simple in design. These guys racing them seem to have that same love for the cars and what they are meant for. The Jag backending into the wall was worth several million dollars and he walked away like it was just another day not seemingly distraught. Back when racing they were crashed and rebuilt to race again. Considering this was some of the most dangerous racing with a 1 in 3 or 2 in 3 chance or actually dying if you raced more than 3 years, many of these cars were crashed and repaired. Now many are held as investments instead of the performance cars they are meant to be. God Bless these guys for keeping the cars alive and doing what they were meant to do regardless of their "worth".

Why is this racing more exciting that the modern stuff???

Crazy, almost all corner exit is power and counter steering a little.

There was a beautiful example in Melbourne not sure who owned it . It was an Aluminium colour ie not painted, was often at Sandbown Park.This car is beautiful.

Wise words... Use the torque

Proper car

C'mon Tiff!

I'm not too familiar with the average car value at Goodwood, but I wonder how much the wreck at 18:15 ended up costing. Yikes.

I imagine a "Millennial" person watching this and crying out "Oh no, they're S L I D I N G, they're about to crash!" Win Percy's hands weren't still for a second --- and the drivers were not cruising or taking the safe option. Breath-taking action.

Am I right that Win is/was in a wheelchair? If so he did a damn good job though he has always been a very good peddler

The hood looks like it's about to fly off the car!

Don't you have the no commentary edition of this race?I want to hear the sound, not the driver explaining to me what he had accomplished, with all due respect of course

Wrestling with a gorilla when the tyres get hot.

,

feels like the cars were funnier to drive before.

hoppefully they were racing with modern tires ! As we can see our Grand Pa pilote are much more working, i mean fighting with their car than the F1 pilote today... The Mister E circus is so boring !

Take a look at Mike Hawthorn driving this car. Smooth controlled and perfect compared to this struggle.and almost out of control style.

Isn't it faster if you don't drift around every corner?
