I lived through the years when these cars raced road courses on the West Coast of America in the 1960s and 1970s. Mustangs, Falcons, and Comets all use about the same running gear so they are extremely popular today for vintage racing. They all run first gen Ford small blocks, top loader 4 speeds and 9" Ford rear ends. I love sedan racing.

That weekend was such a blast ! ! ! 🏁🏁🏁

Thank you so much for sharing!

The Falcon is one of the all time greats...veteran driver Frank Gardner won the British touring car championships in the 1960s...After racing a GT 40 at Le Mans...

More passing in the first turn than in the last 50 years of F1.

Marvlous, thanks 😀

The Cortina’s are awesome.

Gracias gran carrera 👌👏

FALCONS not Galaxies (though a single Galaxie is in race) … and yes, the Falcons were homologated with fiberglass fenders by Holman Moody in 1964.

45:16 I was on the exit of copse, one of the best saves I've ever seen. He was about 10cm from the barrier but still kept so much speed

Neil Buxton Howard from south Africa Port Elizabeth says old school 60s racing still the best keep it up

IH WOW VERY COOL

Why do the cortina’s run the exhaust out the back of the car and not out the side

Such a shame about the Hart's Alfa Romeo. Did not see it again after Pit Window. Does anyone have any info about the car? At the beginning it really put on a show and was passed over , for a while, by the commentators as they were more interested in talking up the Cortinas.

It would be interesting if the evolution of car technology, much like how Gundam returned to close-combat due to Minovsky particles, leads to the resurgence of drift driving in racing.

In the States, Falcons had nowhere to race that the public, at large, knew of. Grand National (Galaxie-sized) cars got all the headlines. In 1960, a race for compact cars was tried by NASCAR, the governing body of stock car racing, but it was a blowout for Chrysler Valiants, which had an enormous horsepower edge over the Falcons and Corvairs, as there were not yet V-8 engines in compacts, and the series was abandoned. Valiants came home 1st through 7th, I believe.

The Falcons stayed and raced as they were run in the Monte Carlo rally by Alan Mann racing. The Galaxies in the UK,63 and 64 were replaced by the 64 ex Tour de France Mustangs, the Falcons although older were replacing the Mustangs as the rules were more relaxed and allowed the Falcons better performance. Camaros came across the pond as well, 67/68 versions then the 1970 versions, always made for an interesting mix. Think in the early seventies there was even a 1970 hemi Cuda .

Who was the mad lad that went flying thru the runoff in the 1st 3 corners? the black ford 😂

Thinking about going this year, was it any good?

Always! But then we're biased 😆

who are the commentators ? Both are brilliant but one sounds like Jeremy Vine ? he does Goodwood too

The Mustang is a re-bodied Falcon.

They should do as nascar does and throw a safety caution where everyone comes in at the same time 48 ninety second pitstop, and then proceeds in the order they came in.

Correct! The commentators are unaware that the Mustang used the identical platform, originally created for the Falcon. Perhaps there's a different weight bias. I owned a '67 Mustang with the 4.7 V-8, and it was quite tail happy.

Mustangs I think have a 1200kg homologated weight the falcons thanks to the work of Holman moody has lots of trick bits homologated and have a much lower weight they can run at. Although I seem to think Mustangs can run fatter tyres than the falcons. Both run 400hp plus engines some probably have. Questionable engines too

A Mustang is a Falcon with bucket seats
