And then you have the "owners" who buy cars like these only for making more money. Jesus, this car is worth millions and here it is driven how it MUST be driven.
Automobiles MUST be driven in a safe and legal manner. However, since Goodwood is a racing venue, you are permitted to travel slightly faster. Plus, since these are well-qualified and experienced drivers, NOT Internet counch-laden Wankers, they do so in a safe manner.
I was thinking the same that the cars are worth millions but then I thought so are modern exotic cars. The value is more in its rarity than its monetary value.
I filmed this GTO a couple of times at Zandvoort. And I want to talk to one of the mechanics from Roelofs Engineering at Zandvoort for more information about this GTO and the build. However checking the license plate it's a 1963 250 GT. And there was a little story in a Dutch car magazine here: amt.nl.s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/app/uploads/2015/04/attachment-001_2006_1_36_reportage.pdf. So I was wondering myself how could a "recreation" or whatever it is be taking part in a Goodwood event?
Exactly right Mark. It is equipped with a "quick change" rear end. The rear gears can be swapped out in a matter of minutes. The driver attends the testing phase, and relays info to the crew, who decide on the best ratio for the track. Then re-test to confirm. Im guessing the 4:11 to 4:56 range for this short course. Perhaps as low as 5:10's. Longer courses would use higher gears like a 3:73 or 3:30's.
@Enzo 1965 Racing cars back then were, as far as I know, fitted with a quick change rear end, or some other similar means. It certainly would take untold ages to change gears in the gearbox, especially if you're trying to qualify the car for a race back then, time is your biggest enemy. Also, what if the team mechanics ended up fitting the wrong gear ratios, or even worse forgot to put in some important bits in a hurry to put the driver back on the road again. The only time the mechanics might have a look into the gearboxes would be when there were gear shifting problems in the practice/qualifying sessions.
I feel sorry for the generations far in the future who will never hear these glorious sounds of Ferrari power when there is no more petrol to be had! This is as good as any Mozart symphony :-)
Kind of reminds me of my great-grandfather who said "I feel sorry for the generations far in the future who will never hear the glorious sounds of my traction engine when there is no more coal to be had". I have a more positive view of the future, where people who enjoy motorsport will invent new, better ways to drive stupidly fast.
@@johnbidwell2393 I agree with you--in motorsport, they always discover new ways of going faster, no doubt about that. But there's something romantic and deeply stirring about the sound of a powerful internal combustion engine unleashed. To me, that's even more important than going faster (a little bit more important, anyway). It's why songs were written about the Pontiac GTO, the AC Cobra, and the Corvette Sting Ray, but probably no similar song will ever be written about a Tesla 😉. Cheers!
No, the thumbs down must be from those owners who think these cars should be kept in some top-secret garage, where all they do is sit until the someone appraises it in a much higher amount...
It's always impressive watching the drivers keep it together on this track in the classic racers. It doesn't look like that challenging of a course, other than being very narrow and often crowded, but you can see how the slight elevation changes really have an effect on the handling on some of the exits. Lots of cheek-clenching moments.
Major major major gigantic over the top thumbs up. Love it. That’s what the car was made for, not to be siting still in a showroom somewhere. Congrats.
A racing owner of a GTO 250, said the reason he did not worry about racing it was because the only important part of the car was the serial number! Bravo, to him!
ive listened to this 10 days straight with my morning coffee and i just cant enough of this sound .its just intoxicating, the growl,burble and backfire!!!!aaarrgh i want one so bad
He'd be dead. Perfusion starts to decrease as your heart goes faster, because the chambers don't have enough time to fill up normally. This is why blood pressure drops so severely when heart rates climb. Though, racing drivers pretty much always have heart rates at the top end of the tolerable scale during a drive; 150 is not uncommon at all.
No , someone say him do u wanna drive ferrari in 10 days ? Wow oke i want ! When he se car is old he think its cost maybe 3000€, he still dont know this car is 66.666.666 milion xD
Wow that is something else, that is a lot of money on the line out there, just one bump and ouch. Lot of fun to watch and what a wonderful bunch of cars.
Yes, legendary 250 GTO racer one of the worlds rarest and greatest. What about the driver? That was spectacular, the man drove it like he was possessed with the spirit of Phil Hill! The chassis number may even have seen his patronage back in it’s heyday.
Well done ! The ol girl sounds a treat too . Looks like it has advantage on the top end , though corners well too. Thx for posting from such a magnificent automobile
With the factory lightweight E types, Aston Martins,the Bizzarrini, Ferrari 250 LM and this Ferrari among others, how much money must have been on this track? Lucky spectators to have seen this.
I remember marshalling at the Revival when they had all 11 of the remaining Lightweights out of the 12 that were built. That was destroyed by Roy Salvadori. He would have been killed when it hit an earth bank at Sebring (?) but he was saved when he was catapulted out of the back window.
I wish you had onboard footage of that little 250lm in front of him at the start, He was flying thru the field like there is no tomorrow at the beginning of the race
Oh yes yes yes !!!!! Sheer heaven. At one point the Italian legend was behind the British legend that is CUT7, but not for long... Wonderful wonderful wonderful and thank you
BEEYOOTIFUL card but man what a handful to drive. All that constant steering input has to tire you out. Imagine how tired you be after several hundred miles of muscling this beast around the track.
I’d love to know from someone who gave this a thumbs down why? Is it that you worried about the CO2 and global warming, you worried about the noise for the neighborhood, or is it that you dyslexic and put thumbs down when you meant thumbs up?
Much credit to this driver, Jackie Stewart, A.J. Foyt, Emerson Fittipaldi, Mario Andretti and all the great drivers of yesteryear! Our cars are so stable now! Back in the day, my Camaro LT, then later my WS6 Ram Air Trans Am had No Stability control at all and I never wrecked. I admit I get a little nervous when driving a sports car with satbility turned off, especially in the rain. I still have a high skill level, but I swear I was a better driver back then!
This was exhilarating and nail biting at the same time. The sound of that engine going was magnificent! The driver in that first green Jag needs to pick a line and stick to it. He was all over the place!
I kinda get teary eyed watching this, because the old girl still has if. A car I’ll probably never get to drive, in it’s natural habitat, being driven the way Enzo intended
Looks like a bit of a hand full. In period these drivers were brave. This driver had me on edge for the whole video - especially overtaking the Ginetta.
This guy appears to be a good driver with plenty of experience. Look at how hard he has to work the wheel to keep the car where he wants it on the track. Older cars are beautiful but much, much tougher to drive fast.
And then you have the "owners" who buy cars like these only for making more money. Jesus, this car is worth millions and here it is driven how it MUST be driven.
Automobiles MUST be driven in a safe and legal manner. However, since Goodwood is a racing venue, you are permitted to travel slightly faster. Plus, since these are well-qualified and experienced drivers, NOT Internet counch-laden Wankers, they do so in a safe manner.
Amen!
People who do this with their beautiful cars ARE the ones that can afford them! Absolutely awesome video!
I was thinking the same that the cars are worth millions but then I thought so are modern exotic cars. The value is more in its rarity than its monetary value.
They probably never told the driver how much the owner paid for it😱
Wow! I can't even imagine pushing that car like that, but that's what it was made for. Good driving!
Oh but, he was not pushing it! Ferrari's are built to race and win!
Is this a real Ferrari 250 GTO?? The 25millions euro Ferrari??? oh my...Big responsibility for the driver!!
Nope, build in The Netherlands by Roelofs Engineering.
Proof? A prestigious event like Goodwood would get ripped for allowing a fake to be entered.
Actually, Roelof's prepares authentic, original classic race cars for vintage racing. Built in Maranello, race-prepped in The Netherlands.
I filmed this GTO a couple of times at Zandvoort. And I want to talk to one of the mechanics from Roelofs Engineering at Zandvoort for more information about this GTO and the build. However checking the license plate it's a 1963 250 GT.

So I was wondering myself how could a "recreation" or whatever it is be taking part in a Goodwood event?
Yes, for example they prepared the 250 GT SWB that Tom Kristensen drove to victory last year at Goodwood Revival.
His rev matching is so perfect, absolutely no drama when he downshifts its like automatic!
I was JUST thinking the same thing. Absolutely flawless shifting. I was wondering if it had some kind of special trans or something. Dude is good.
@@Drektek Very responsive engine and short gear ratios in general should make it rather easy for an experienced driver.
It's geared almost perfect for this track
Exactly right Mark. It is equipped with a "quick change" rear end. The rear gears can be swapped out in a matter of minutes. The driver attends the testing phase, and relays info to the crew, who decide on the best ratio for the track. Then re-test to confirm. Im guessing the 4:11 to 4:56 range for this short course. Perhaps as low as 5:10's. Longer courses would use higher gears like a 3:73 or 3:30's.
I disagree. It seems to run out of revs before running out of straight.
Only slightly.
@Enzo 1965 IIRC the owner stated it was quick change.
@Enzo 1965 Racing cars back then were, as far as I know, fitted with a quick change rear end, or some other similar means. It certainly would take untold ages to change gears in the gearbox, especially if you're trying to qualify the car for a race back then, time is your biggest enemy.

what a symphony.. what a crazy car at the limit
5:50 you can just hear the joy of the engine reaching its top rev full throttle in a top gear.
This is what these cars were built for, and i hate to see these cars just locked away in some ultra rich guys garage.
Yes but no rich garage , no car to race nowdays .
I love to see those vintage cars racing. No electronic aides just pure driving skills.
I feel sorry for the generations far in the future who will never hear these glorious sounds of Ferrari power when there is no more petrol to be had! This is as good as any Mozart symphony :-)
galoon agreed!! ❤️
Isn’t that why there are videos like these lying around?
There's always going to be *some* petrol, especially for the posh people racing oldtimers at Goodwood.
Kind of reminds me of my great-grandfather who said "I feel sorry for the generations far in the future who will never hear the glorious sounds of my traction engine when there is no more coal to be had".

I much prefer watching these than todays F1 races
these cars will always have a very speacial place in my heart, I mean engine.
The thumbs down must be from the Jaguar driver.
LOLOL!!!!! Indeed
I'd point the finger at the Ginetta G10 driver. With 350bhp in just 900 kg, he should have trounced the Ferrari.
Because we don't get to see who wins?
No, the thumbs down must be from those owners who think these cars should be kept in some top-secret garage, where all they do is sit until the someone appraises it in a much higher amount...
This is true Ferrari.
250 GTO not only look beautiful but also awesome racer.

I was stiff the whole video! Thankyou for such raw motorsport footage!!!!!!
What a magnificent car. Amazing sounding engine. And ya gotta love that floating wiper blade speed indicator.
I really hate it when people own beautiful classics and treat them like statues, but on the other hand I'd be so nervous if this was my car
A racing owner of a GTO 250, said the reason he did not worry about racing it was because the only important part of the car was the serial number!
Bravo, to him!
The DRIVER is insane! Look at that steering wheel movement, that’s work baby!
ive listened to this 10 days straight with my morning coffee and i just cant enough of this sound .its just intoxicating, the growl,burble and backfire!!!!aaarrgh i want one so bad
Fantastic to watch you working that wheel. Great sound. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like alot of effort to drive that machine. Even if you came in last place it would still be worth it.
He is stabbing at the wheel even in a straight line, wrong car for the job and wrong driver. Bl**dy awful.
Awesome driving, classic car!
Man i love looking around all excited seeing all these cars being raced
Racing at its purest expression. Btw love the crackles on the overrun.
Damn- he drives it like he stole it! Love it!
Ok so whoever gave this vid thumbs down needs to be banished into a Prius for the rest of their life.
Chris Horner putting him in a prius would be too merciful, banish him in a G-wiz instead.
Probably would be happy there. They need to be banished into an Ariel Atom seasons be damned! lol
or a smart car, or even better a damn bicycle.
Too cruel a punishment.
@@arisgod2749 I'm a cyclist. They should be banished to monocycle for the rest of their lives
He must have a heart rate of 300 the whole time XD

D.E.B. B Jesus Christ, I’m pretty sure they meant it as a joke. Pre-medical student with something to prove?
my favorite version of the GTO
What a beast, the driver is fighting it every second of every lap, but boy when he gets the power down!
Really really scarily close quarter racing ! what an adrenaline rush. The Ginetta had a tremendous burst of acceleration but very tail happy.
One of the best videos on UA-cam!
Wow that is something else, that is a lot of money on the line out there, just one bump and ouch. Lot of fun to watch and what a wonderful bunch of cars.
Those crackles and pops when he's off throttle.. so good
mad respect for this including other people who are using their cars/bikes for what they made to do to be used.

@@stephenbrown4211 Roy Salvadori had that accident at Le Mans. Spun on oil thrown by the blown engine of Bruce McLaren's Aston Martin, I think
Love It, not just another Trailer Queen. Enzo is looking down and is darn proud...
Superb , what a sound
No point having these cars under a cover , it’s getting used as its maker intended !
Gotta love the willingness to let this virtually priceless horse stretch its legs. Still, I was puckering up several times... that start.... oofuh!
The pinnacle of machinery driven properly. Those cars become really alive driven not hard but determined.
Stunning drive and what a magnificent car
I wish you had onboard footage of that little 250lm in front of him at the start,

Oh yes yes yes !!!!! Sheer heaven. At one point the Italian legend was behind the British legend that is CUT7, but not for long... Wonderful wonderful wonderful and thank you
Mama Mia! This must be so good to experience....congrats!
I love on board racing videos.
When he finally got past that Jag and got a little squirrely - YIKES! Great driver.
Wow. That car is a handful! Nicely done.
Nice ride ... and nice to watch the work behind the wheel :-D great driving
What a thrill! The whole way I had one hand tightly holding onto my chair, and the other tightly holding onto my wallet...
Amazing, driving action and sound :)
Good racing Mr Pastorelli.
BEEYOOTIFUL card but man what a handful to drive. All that constant steering input has to tire you out. Imagine how tired you be after several hundred miles of muscling this beast around the track.

A Thoughtful and hilarious response lol
All of 'em
Virdi :D shouldn’t that be “all of me” then
Man this machine when its in rare form must be so difficult to drive! Look at this steering wheel work!
Tip of the hat to these drivers!
Being competitive with risks involved with these cars.
But i bet the rush they get is priceless
Really great view- never concerned about the car in front, rather focused on the view ahead
That keychain is a GForce sensor! ❤😅
The best sound in motorsports.
This is the dream i mean cars like this and a little racing!
Awesome driver. Tx for sharing
Man!!! Would I love to be THAT GUY driving that car. Sweet.

What a beautiful noise.👌

Wow, and you can drive it home after the race, gotta love it!
There are times when I wish I was in that tax bracket!
Greatest sports car ever!
WOW... what a great drive... LOVE this video...
Very cool, but I’m always amazed that people race cars of that value.
Thank you Enzo

Hard to overtake in that track. Great driving this guy is a pro
Damon Hill
@@korma9732this isnt damon hill.
incredible car, driven as it was meant to be, but props to the ginetta, that thing has some serious pulling power.

Sweet. That Car is like a Good Hunting Dog that Loves to Work!
30 years ago you could see 250 GTO's in the Monterey Historics. They weren't so crazy expensive as now but still millions.
That’s what racing should be. Period.
Brilliant. This is what Ferrari's were created to do. Not just look cool, but go bloody fast and get to the finish line first.
Absolutely Sublime!
I can't believe how well it pulls in fifth!
It pulls well in every gear
Sound of the gods
Genuine Motor history right there
Good to see the driver giving it hell!!! 🏁
Absolute HERO
wow that car is way too nice to still be racing, these people are crazy.
Wow, this is amazing!
Sound celestiale!
Notice the keychain moving through the corners, some nice g-force.
Fabulous !!!
That ginetta is rapid too.
