@@chocolatte6157 I've read what an owner of one expensive old racing car said in an interview, he basically said "If you're driving/racing one of these cars while scared stiff of its value, you're easily the most dangerous person on the track" and the word "dangerous" isn't used as a compliment.

Aw why didnt you guys include the finishing as well. If any driver is a safe bet to drive your car in a race for you, it's Tom. I will forever be a fan of Mr.LeMans!
Thank you to Tom Kristensen for showcasing and making me fall in love with the most beautiful Ferrari 250 of the lineup (my opinion lol; still the LM next then GTO in my book).
Don't mention the LM in the company of the cars in the video. Sticking a roof on a 250P does NOT make it a sports saloon! The FIA said 'NO', and Enzo went on a sulk... ;-)
They're probably even faster today, as these engines have been rebuilt using modern materials and machinery, with finer tolerances than could be achieved back in the 60s
I'm on my second e-type. I love them. They are seriously underrated by the typical enthusiast. So yeah I have a chip on my shoulder. But wow! This was a great race for that 250 SWB and brilliantly driven. Though I love the jag, that Ferrari is magnificent here. Hats off.
God! I’d be frightened to even blow a grain of sand off either the priceless 250 SWB or the DBR! Yet they look absolutely gorgeous at speed, this is where they are alive, it where they belong, poetry in motion. Even Ferrari’s infamous bread van looks a triumphant sight 😂
One time at the Revival, one owner of one of the original Shelby Daytona Coupes put Tom Kristensen _and_ Kenny Brack to drive it... Long story short, even rain didn't stop them from dominating the race, they just kept on, sliding the Daytona around the track...
I can't get over the Ferrari250SWB, with solid rear axle suspended with leaf springs corner's soo well? The Ferrari looks like it has a wider track than the British car's? The very modern E Type Jaguar looks somewhat dated while the F. 250SWB looks and seems to handle better in my opinion than Wonderful E Type Jaguar? WOW!! Thank You! Peter Brooks.
Racing at the revival is a better spectacle than most tin top racing today because of no downforce...get rid of downforce in touring cars and people will marvel at the driver skill, as the cars slide round our circuits.
I'm in awe, not only of the talent on display, but that so many are willing to push cars of such high value well beyond where any safe investor/enthusiast would go. Just wow. And holy #**[ that man can drive.
I never understood the idea of hating somebody because they earned more money than you. I can understand jealousy or envy, but why hate somebody because they made better choices or worked hard? I know the media likes to portray them as evil just cause they have money , but Unless you can prove they did it through some corrupt means (like most politicians), then you are just proving why they made it and you didn't.
@@LadyJesterSurfer Exactly, I agree with you. I will never understand people that hate the rich. They then come up with statements such as "tax the rich", "eat the rich", one day I even heard some lunatic saying we should guillotine billionaires, like how insane is that!? Somebody working extra hard, trying to make right choices is not your enemy, enemy is "you" pulling yourself back from succeeding.
@@LadyJesterSurfer I mean, the vast majority of rich people were born into their wealth, but you make sense. A single person never needs millions though, at that point it's just pure greed and there must be exploitation to create that wealth.
An incredible field of cars racing at speeds as quick if not faster than in period. All of which I am so familiar with through classic car and Motorsport magazine what an absolute priveledge to watch and hear them now as opposed to drooling over static photos of them as a kid all the way from Australia.
The 250 GT SWB is a GT too, not a sports racer. Ferrari had other cars to compete in the top category - SPORTS CARS - and those were the true racers indeed. The 250 GT SWB was released as a street car in 1959, but being a performance car it had track potential of course... just like the E-Type. It's just that this particular 250 GT SWB is obviously the competition version from 1961, while the E-Type is obviously the street version. So, they're in the same league - GT cars - just that this Ferrari is the competition spec. You can see the street version of the 250 GT SWB at 2:10 and is slower. But, of course, it matters who preps the car for competition too, it can become faster or slower with some seconds.
Then Jaguar started upgrading the 'E' little by little. Result - farewell SWB, hello GTO. The GTO "ate the almost standard 'E' for breakfast", but Coventry developed the 'E' into the true Lightweight, and brilliant, brilliant racing ensued (Graham Hill at his peak was unbeaten in the Lightweight, and some young unknown by the name of Jackie Stewart did brilliantly the year after...).
That's an old mod of the car, which is chassis number 2973 GT. The original owner of the car, Andre Simon, fitted wider rims and tires in 1962, which probably helped him win the Tour de France that year.
Great Drivers! Great Old Cars! Just having Tons of FUN! Wish ALL Men could relate to each other as well, as these men are Doing! Thank You All Very MUCH!!! Peter Brooks.
(Just wondering bc there's an old silver car in the barn behind my grandma's house that says Ferrari with a little horse sticker on it but the engine isn't in the front!)
If you're talking about the car driven by Kristensen, no. It's good ol'front engined V12 Ferrari. In fact, ALL of the cars in this race were front engined.
This is like watching Le Mans 24h during the '60s. Awesome racing! And the Ferrari 250 GT SWB is simply a masterpiece.
I only saw pictures in Magazines of that car racing, I missed a lot.
Never seen such a priceless car driven so hard. This is golden stuff here.
Forget the garage queens - this is the real deal!
I'm sure that, if these old ladies could talk, they would say "let's kick some asses"
Somehow I don't think that is very lady-like language, let alone queenly.....
God that Ferrari is so beautiful

Get one!
this is what racing is all about. Incredible action and driving.
Wow! The photographers really know how to capture the speed. Top notch!
Awesome bit of driving from TC. Just great to see a 250 SWB being absolutely flogged on the limit there.
TK* ;)
There are other videos of TC at Goodwood here. Lesser cars but still Tom makes it into the front. He drives flawlessly and consistently every time.

The glowing red hot breaks on the Ferrari at 4:46
Better view at 6:18
And a shower of sparks through the wire wheels of the Jaguar, begins at 6:42 So great to see these cars race so well.
Also at 2:37
Only winners here: cars, drivers and viewers. So much more fun to see and hear than modern race cars.

wow, TK's drive was great. But that 250 SWB Ferrari is gorgeous!
so glad I found this site. these, unlike formula one, are actual races👍
I'm in love with that Ferrari
It's amazing how fast these cars still are after 60 years.
They're probably even faster today, as these engines have been rebuilt using modern materials and machinery, with finer tolerances than could be achieved back in the 60s

Should have put a Lightweight 'E' in the fray. It would have least given Kristensson something to think about...
The E-Type's front twitching, the red disks of the 250GT, everyone skidding at the curve. Priceless moments
TK is a true champion spot on race and thanks for uploading.
The most beautiful era for automobiles.
My two favourite cars: E Type and Ferrari 250
Much better than F1
Heine Pedersen you cant really compare road car racing to the worlds fastest pieces of machinery. I would call it different.
Laurits Boe Sørensen Well, F1 technically is road racing :P
@@miy1925hassun he said road CAR racing. It's very different from F1.
@@Veeter99 "Road CAR racing" And what is F1 then? Trucks? lol
@@MDDeGrande1994 F1 cars are purpose built for racing. Road cars are built primarily for street use but can be modified for racing. Got it now?
I love watching Tom drive any car especially V8's lol
TheDunz I AGREE! TC has a gifted perceception of feel (as I had) to the handling of race cars!
This one's a V12 (by Colombo) though. He's a great driver
V12 Ferrari, Straight 6 Jag, Straight 6 Aston! No V8s 'til you get to the fourth place Cobra!!!
6:43 Sparks from E-types brakes!
Nice
It just might be backing plate to disc rotor. Great stuff.
Can Tom drive a car or what! :D
Driving museum pieces like they're stolen, quality video.
God! I’d be frightened to even blow a grain of sand off either the priceless 250 SWB or the DBR! Yet they look absolutely gorgeous at speed, this is where they are alive, it where they belong, poetry in motion. Even Ferrari’s infamous bread van looks a triumphant sight 😂
My style of horse racing. :)
That is some great racing. Thank you!
This is gold! I never knew these races exist today
SWB..... So Well Balanced
Well jeez what exactly do you expect from Kristensen one of the best ever. Incredible drive really.
One time at the Revival, one owner of one of the original Shelby Daytona Coupes put Tom Kristensen _and_ Kenny Brack to drive it...

The XKE had a very narrow track; look at one from the direct front and rear sometime. They're absolutely comical.
Tom is my damn hero
He's a good guy. Our tiny towns hero. Has a his own 'Tom Kristensen' road, where he of course build a nice house with a big garage.
tom has a road named after him in denmark? what town? i was once on the same plane as him from paris to copenhagen. seemed like a chill guy
erik bundersen Hobro - Denmark
Hopefully years from now they'll do the same type of racing with the older JDM cars.

Enzo Ferrari 'Hot Rod being driven at it's BEST! Peter Brooks.
Holy shit what an amazing race. I don't think it matters who wins, as long as its one of those beautiful cars.
this is absolute motoring pornography
04:47 - never have I ever thought I would see red hot brakes on a vintage Ferrari
Well, a bit later in the race at 6:42, the #73 Jaguar E Type's front brakes started to get red hot, and then some, sparks flying off it!
I'm in awe, not only of the talent on display, but that so many are willing to push cars of such high value well beyond where any safe investor/enthusiast would go. Just wow. And holy #**[ that man can drive.
you don't see brake sparks nowadays... great footage :D
thank you madame or sir!
just watch some rallying for brake sparks, or some F12 TDF videos :P
Is there anything finer and more decadent than driving millions of dollars of classic car balls out, full noise around Goodwood?
I think not.
The driver is so smooth Tom Christensen just saying

That Bread Van
Superb racing. Glowing red and sparking breaks on those historical beauties!
These beasts roaring down the straights, drifting through the corners.....speed isn't it. Formula one is such a boring one man show in comparison.
Unbelievable. Check out the video on my channel of when I got to ride a 250 SWB!
That’s was beautiful, it’s nice to see an SWB doing what it was designed and engineered to do. Exquisite
speechless :)
Sparks from the jag at @6:40! Just shows how hard they're pushing these absolute gems.
"Tom hunts down Kirstensen lead"
Terrible thumbnail
They truly are dog fights on the track we are watching brilliant
Amazing cars and drivers! Keeping me alive urging quarantine
Even the audience wears classic garments.
@6:17 hot
What do those 250 GTs run, $20 million? More?
operator0 yeah, 20-30 million depending. I believe some have sold for 30+. Absolute treasure seeing one on a track
These cars are driven the they are meant to, not sitting in a garage or showroom doing nothing
Tom Kristensen. The absolute master giving a masterclass. They didn't stand a chance. Just wonderful. There's nothing more need be said.
GREAT - love the F250 SWB
An incredible field of cars racing at speeds as quick if not faster than in period. All of which I am so familiar with through classic car and Motorsport magazine what an absolute priveledge to watch and hear them now as opposed to drooling over static photos of them as a kid all the way from Australia.
Wonderful!
This is mental.
Just an awesome racing episode! Thing that should be in every finest racing series of nowadays! I wish it was in modern F1)))
Another incomplete end with only a few minutes to go on the LAST Lap... Why?
The full race IS on UA-cam, Kinrara Trophy 2016, just look it up.
The 250 Berlinetta is Ferrari personified although the Astin Martin Zagato is design perfection
I didn't know these cars could go 5 laps without blowing oil all over the track!??! I'm somewhat impressed!? just sayin
The Mazda Cosmo looks like it would belong here. Too bad it's Dorito engine wasn't that good, yet.
QUIT UR YAPPING: LET THE CARS SAY IT ALL!!!
Love to see Jenson Button driving a Honda minivan with these guys. Any bets on the outcome?
Moral victory to the E Type...worth probably 1/8 the Ferrari and not even designed as a sports racer...

When you set AI difficulty to easy
Anyonr else see the hair that 73 cut in two with 18's bumper at 5:14?
I can't, it's too dark...
Looks like Ferrari has wider tires that the other racers.
That's an old mod of the car, which is chassis number 2973 GT. The original owner of the car, Andre Simon, fitted wider rims and tires in 1962, which probably helped him win the Tour de France that year.
You’ve either got it or you don’t got it.
Amazing handling cars considering the narrow rubber
See these guys talk Jung on a race track conservative of course
Perfect.
The Ferrari Breadvan V12 3.0 L is very fast
what is the 'breadvan' really called?
its fun to watch them race at dusk. you can even see the glow of the brake discs
You should see the full race then. You would even see flames spitting out of the exhausts of some cars!!!

Poor corvette 😢
pls dont crash the ferrari
6:19 YUP!
What is the top speed of these racing cars on this track?
Down the back straight (which isn't straight) they're doing around 140-150mph.
WOW that silver beauty
Great Drivers! Great Old Cars! Just having Tons of FUN! Wish ALL Men could relate to each other as well, as these men are Doing! Thank You All Very MUCH!!! Peter Brooks.
Great Stuff 👍👍
Great race !!
E-Type almost hitting the 250 GTO at 5:14 = sphincter-clench.
It's a 250 GT, not a GTO. Know your Ferraris.
know your Ferrari 's..... It is a 250 GTO. There is not something like a 250GT.
Know your Ferrari's elnouk, there is a 250GT, its leading the race, its called a 250GT SWB Berlinetta.
Use your eyes. The green car is a 250 GTO, the race leader is a 250 SWB. Not real difficult to see.
Finally someone who know's ;)
ffs, don't cut the end!!!
Was that silver Ferrari rear mounted engine?
(Just wondering bc there's an old silver car in the barn behind my grandma's house that says Ferrari with a little horse sticker on it but the engine isn't in the front!)
If you're talking about the car driven by Kristensen, no. It's good ol'front engined V12 Ferrari. In fact, ALL of the cars in this race were front engined.
Come on guys drive it carefully, these are very expensive cars, my heart is pounding in stress ;)
Consider this as one rare
occasion where rich share
something with us.
these car are original o just a replicas?
Original
They were originals. The car Tom Kristensen is driving is chassis 2973GT, a 1961 "Competition" model, won the Tour de France in 1962.
