surprised they held up to being thrashed like that... for sure they are getting squirrely in corners not just due to tire sidewall rollover but those wire wheels are flexing too... not to mention the coachwork
I used to slide more old cars around on narrow tyres much more than I can now. My cars now have a lot more grip but when they do let go things happen too fast for me to deal with it.
@@Missed_Apex_GT well these cars go fast as well, losing control is not about speed. But the problem is in a car where everything is controlled electronically, the car doesn't even let you solve the problem. While in a pure mechanical beast you feel everything, and the car behaviour is 100% dependent on your input.
The problem is that modern tires have way more grip and if they loose it the sideway forces are big enough to surprise the driver. These old tires are constantly on and over the edge without much force needed, you can compare it to driving on snow.
There's a scene in Downton Abbey where these type of older cars are being "raced" and they looked very slow. I assumed they were taking it easy because they are so valuable and rare. These boys here are really tearing it up and it's amazing to watch!!
I'm unsure about the history of racing these kinds of cars, but i recently heard in a spanish soap opera set in the 1950s, a racer character mentioning they raced at 50Km/h, said as if it was a crazy speed to go at. So it might have been accurate that they set guidelines to not go over certain speeds because of safety concerns, perhaps.
These types of cars set land speed records that weren't broken by the average civilian style cars for several decades. While these types of cars were flying at 40-100+ mph the average civilian car was just putting along at 6-25mph.
@@probablynotdad6553 that's still true today, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport was the first road car to reach 300 mph in 2019, while that speed was first achieved by Malcolm Campbell in 1935
@@chrissss696 That car would have done 360mph with a few minor mods. Namely wheels and tires.... That thing had the inside wheels from a rear tandem axle truck...
I went to Revivial every years for 4-5 years back to back, the atmosphere is just so wonderfully addictive as well as being a great day out for the family too.
These guys are great!! I ride a 114 year old motorcycle to work, weather permitting, and I never come nowhere near pushing it as hard as these guys do! Bravo!
The best thing is that you can tell they're just having fun. So casual about shifting and sliding, you can almost see the huge grins in the helmets. Just cruising and showing off.
Yes! I love the Revival races. Some of the most entertaining driving to watch. I love the fact that they give these cars a real go. Brings a smile to my face, some gasps, and genuine laughs of joy!
I was there for the first clip, in the Woodcote grandstand. The Frazer Nash would just go more and more sideways each lap, as the driver felt how much grip he had. When he'd taken the lead he just did it for fun, it was astonishing the control he had over the car in the greasy conditions.
Those Fraser Nash cars have such a narrow rear track! My dad joined a couple of the famous Nash "raids" on the continent in the 70s, up mountain passes etc etc. They used to carry plenty of spare rear axles as the torque from negotiating hairpin bends sheared them frequently. They got used to changing an axle by the roadside!
This is awesome, the cars, the drifting, the holding on while bumping around on the grips, the commentors saying 'Oooh, that's a shame' like while they're enjoying their cup of tea. Love it!!
I was on the edge of my seat, for a video weeks old of racing before then, in cars my grandmother grew up with. That was racing. Magnificent driving. Far more entertaining than most of the stuff we get fed on TV. Goodwood delivers again. thank you!
There should be events like this everywhere. I don't care what kind of cars are racing, or how old they are. I just love watching cars going around a road course track like this.
This is what Goodwood is all about. Amazing fun! It's never enough to see true pilots drive this cars. It´s true racing and a non stop smile (and increased heart beat) all the way to the checkered flag.
nothing better than thin tyres on a wet tarmac. equalizes out much of the power difference, keeps everyone on the edge of traction, not too taxing on old brakes. it's not fast but it's a lot of fun. the modern obsession with fast leaves me very cold indeed
hi 5naxaloti have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
Seriously brave... especially considering the whole sans roll cage nature of this race. I couldn't bring myself to do this circuit. That's scary stuff.. but props for overcoming the fear!
it's always nice seeing those cars doing what they were built to do. Race. Never Change Goodwood, Never change. and bring us more of those beautifull machines.
I think that it is wonderful that people take their priceless cars out and thrash them for our entertainment. Old cars, trains, aircraft and the like, should definitely be heard and not just seen.
Beautiful!! Absolutely gorgeous cars driving a serious speeds, it definitely looks a combination of hard work and great skills to be able to do that...
I actually find old cars to be a much more pure driving experience, sure they aren't as fast but they feel so much more exciting to drive than anything modern.
It's just so great to see these cars being used in the way they were intended to be, being hammered around a track at wide open throttle instead of sitting in a museum! Cars are meant to be driven!
JDM & fast & furious followers take notes, this how real men drive... Oversteer, understeer oversteer again constant steering inputs keeping it pointing straight, & with a solid rear axle u gotta flick it in like that, absolute credit to the men that do We soooo need to just winde the clock back

Seeing this vehicle in the present scenario, not just as a vintage model but racing each other is a fine example of the marvelous and extraordinary engineering of that era. 😱🤯🤯🤯👍. Kudos to the people who maintain these vehicles and organize these events. The drifts 😱😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯🤯....
I feel like the thin tires are actually helpful. If they were wider, stickier rubber my guts tells me the rollover potential would be dramatically higher.

Timestamps of your favourite drift please 👇
03:24
10:13
10:14 - fully commited and on the edge. Excellent.
Not a drift but at 4:54 Owlet looks like the baddy from a horror film chasing us down.
10:10 has to be the winner for me, but 0:55 is nothing to be ashamed of either.
4:25 and 10:14 are a tie for me.
I can't help but grin from ear to ear while watching these cars race

@@zeroswings2 Given what they raced on back in the days, this is quite comfy for them.
drives a museum piece like a bloody rental, love it!
Dude me too!
Watch this all day long. Modern Gp … yawn 4:16
He's got more control of the old beast than most people have with a modern car
modern car controls you
I used to slide more old cars around on narrow tyres much more than I can now. My cars now have a lot more grip but when they do let go things happen too fast for me to deal with it.
Modern cars won’t allow this anyway…by the time you lose control you’re going so fast the outcome will be bad

These oldies are so hard to handle at these speeds it's a thrill to watch them performing at their mechanical limits.
This is such great stuff. More!
I had no idea these cars ripped like they do. Wow! Great driving too.
I too am amazed at how they’re ripping around the track.
Imagine back in the day. These things were practically flying
Old race cars sounds amazing, try serch on 50s indy car
4:23 was a work of art
Poetry in motion!
nice.....slide.....again
Who needs grip when you played tokyo drift for years
Yep! Pure art.
These guys are great!!
I ride a 114 year old motorcycle to work, weather permitting, and I never come nowhere near pushing it as hard as these guys do!
Bravo!
I really appreciate that Goodwood shares these races on UA-cam otherwise I'd never be able to enjoy👍
ditto
Seeing these lovely old machines absolutely pelting around the track is so improbable! I love it!
The best thing is that you can tell they're just having fun. So casual about shifting and sliding, you can almost see the huge grins in the helmets. Just cruising and showing off.
You could make a race series of just the Owlet racing round on its own. Who needs more. Thanks again Goodwood.Instant pick me up.

I kept wondering how the Owlet manages to stay upright. Well done gentlemen.
not enough grip to flip it
I really appreciate that this exists. Motor sport will all be vintage one day.
Wonderful, pure poetry, watching these drivers drift around the corners the way they do. Keep this coming absolutely loved watching it.
Te cambio estos 10 minutos por los últimos 20 años de formula 1. Que maestría de conducción
Pretty awesome car control here! And chain-drive at that. That last slide at 10:12 was the one.
Now this is racing! Watching a professional drift an old car, is like smooth melted butter to the eyes!
There should be events like this everywhere. I don't care what kind of cars are racing, or how old they are. I just love watching cars going around a road course track like this.
I love nothing more than cars that continue to do what cars do.
The guy in car 47 is a crowd-pleaser. Hands down, a truly talented driver.
I think so🎉 impressive 👍
His name is Eddie Williams...
That's real racing! Since F1 uses radio with the pit wall it's as thrilling as a long distance flight.
Вроде древность какая-то,а как захватывающе быстро все это выглядит! Великолепно!

That #47 from understeer to oversteer drifting, skills.
That was poetry in motion! 🤗 What beautiful crazy old machines! 🤩
It's always a delight to see such old machines still being appreciated and put to the limit on the road 🧡
Man seeing these old beasts getting sideways is epic love it mate 👌
I can't remember the last time I was that enthralled while watching F1.. probably back in the days of Nigel Mansell !
Never stop doing the century classics.
I love seeing them use the slip angle of these cars to its full potential.
I was absolutely sucked into this race between these two race leaders. It was amazing.
Went to school with Martin Stretton race driver his skill as kids was phenomenal
Beautiful cars and brilliant driving. What more can anyone want?

Diesen großartigen Motorsport gibt es nur in Großbritannien!
Crazy, insane, superb spectacle.
Those power slides were just gorgeous. Looks like he was just having a ball.😊
I wonder how different the race would have been without the sloppy conditions. Intense final laps to the finish. Great race.
Absolutely brilliant. Loved every second of it.
That was actually fun to watch, thanks for posting it.
Beautiful!!
Absolutely gorgeous cars driving a serious speeds, it definitely looks a combination of hard work and great skills to be able to do that...
I didn’t know these old cars could drift a little while cornering. These things have power that I was unaware of. Pretty impressive 😄👍
“We are vintage fun and games. Don’t get many takers…” 😂 What a line!!
Such beautiful cars!
This was a really cool race ,I couldn't stop watching ,and the sounds of those cars , beautiful

Are these cars tuned in a way that would be in keeping with the technology of the day? They seem very quick for pre-45!
They are equipped as built essentially. Fuel and oil technology is modern
Board track racers were clocking 140 in the 30s
JDM & fast & furious followers take notes, this how real men drive...
Oversteer, understeer oversteer again constant steering inputs keeping it pointing straight, & with a solid rear axle u gotta flick it in like that, absolute credit to the men that do
We soooo need to just winde the clock back
it takes guts to race these cars, for their value and for the skills required to control them!
nice job!
Fabulous!!!
Driftooooo! Oh man, I can't imagine the chassis dynamics of these vehicles.
More exiting than F1!!
I'm very impressed! Driving and control at it's very, very best! Awesome driver and driving skills!
Great to see 1980's British technology being raced so hard!
Lol
Lol you're not far from the truth with that comment. My Dad has a British bike from the 70s (BSA), it's awesome but honestly looks like something from the 1940s, especially when next to a Japanese bike of the same era.
Thank you so much for this memory of the origin of my world of sports car racing.

No. 37 is Nick Swift in Patrick Blakeney-Edwards' Frazer Nash Saloon "Owlet". No. 47 is Eddie Williams in Duncan Pittaway's Frazer Nash TT Replica

I’ll bet these cars are a blast to drive. There’s probably so much feeling in the pedals and wheel compared to a modern car.
Loved it, great to see the old FN's taking it to the rest of the field, made my day watching it.
I feel like the thin tires are actually helpful. If they were wider, stickier rubber my guts tells me the rollover potential would be dramatically higher.
It's such a joy to watch cars of this vintage going flat out, full send!
1:00 Mandou um Drift sensacional 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Those cars probably feel alive again in this race! It’s amazing 😻
Fabulous, skillful driving. It makes watching GPs boring.
Thanks UA-cam algorithm; and thanks Goodwood Road & Racing, that was just great!
i like seeing people use old cars for what they were meant to be used for, and not sitting in a collector’s garage for 5000 years

Better than any F1 race!!!
Amazing driving with courage overflowing! Exciting to see.
Real racing by Real men, Brilliant!
Real racing?🤣there going like 70mph tops
What a delight to see these magnificent cars dancing in style on the edge of their limits ❤️
I wish F1 would do something like this. Like bringing back cars from the 80's for a race or something.
They can't because they'd get more viewers in one race than an entire year with their current boring cars.
