Yeah the Alfa 308C for me as well, but if there's a P3 in the grid, that will change in a heartbeat.

Riley. Something of an unknown name these days unless someone is in the know. I am biased as I am building a Brooklands replica though...

I would spend all day watching videos of the owners / drivers / mechanics talking about their cars (well, maybe not all day, but easily 20-min each).

Number 33 is a Beast. What a great race. Thank you Goodwood.

I remember historic races at Crystal Palace in the early 70s with loads of ERAs. The sound was absolutely frightening.

I would give anything to watch this live just once.

you had to muscle these cars around. looks like fun racing

Outstanding effort! Great camera work.

Nice to see front engine cars and look at those tires. That's racing.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Those were cars that you could call racing cars not the today hybrid V6 vacuum cleaners

What's wrong with them? I agree F1 is boring but Brundle is an experienced and successful driver himself...

Son, it's a loud over the top commentary, an understated one would be so much more satisfactory. nothing against the teams or drivers at all... but i would think people want to see and hear the growls of these legendary cars, a loud nonstop overkill analysis is not! it really is good visual coverage though, although some of the backmarkers were almost non existent... really wanted to hear the Talbot-Lago! i'm glad you agree with me F1 is boring now but don't remember saying that😀

100% agree, but I think some enjoy being spoonfed info. So there should be a way to opt out of the commentary stream. Eiffel F1 GP this year had the whole GP uncommented streamed live and it was a joy to sit and watch.

Gary Pearson and 'Remus'. Now, I really wasn't expecting THAT driver/car combination! With a bit more time in the car, who knows? Could he REALLY become as competitive in it as the Lindsays...?

Judging by the looks of it, he seems to have intermittent problems with it, probably the suspension/brakes, or engine, or all three, preventing him from driving more competitively, also coupled with his unfamiliarity with the car. I'm not really an ERA fan, I'm a lot more into the Alfa P3s and Maserati GP cars of the era, but I understood that Prince Bira's old ERAs were important to British historic racing enthusiasts. That's why I really also hope to see more of that car/driver combination in the future.

The fact that little #32 Riley can scrap with cars that have 2x the tire width certainly says something about something...

Thing is, I think the narrower tyres makes less rolling resistance than the wider tyres, that means if the driver's manages to keep his momentum at the corners, which he does, he won't lose a lot of time down the straights.

Also the car actually had an ERA engine, so it had the firepower necessary to fight those...

oh my god. did I see a Napier Ralton there?

No, those were Bentley Specials, the Barnato Hassan and the Pacey Hassan Specials. Both raced at Brooklands in period.

How fast do these cars go? Anyone know?

@jcgabriel1569

3 жыл бұрын

Down the back straights, those could easily do 140+mph. But if you're talking about how fast they could possibly go in a straight line, the Alfa Romeo 308C could do around 180mph.

Its like a HotDog car

Do these cars have a modern safety fuel tank?

Not sure, as they did not have roll-bars installed either.

@@barath4545 Yes, they take their chances without a roll-bar as this would destroy the period look, but a small modern safety tank, with internal bladder would be invisible inside the original tank, and a heck of a lot safer if there's ever a multi-car wreck.

@@raywest3834 Nope, they dont. They only allow strictly original cars, and thats what makes goodwood the best. The entire point of goodwood is be as close to period correct as possible. Plus, most of these cars are worth more than a couple million, so why would you modify them?

These were all Grand Prix, Voiturette (pre-war equivalent of Formula 2), and Formula Libre (free formula) racecars from before World War Two up until 1951.

All I see are Monopoly cars.
