‘Give it plenty of clutch - it’s the one on the left.’ Brilliant!

"theEEE ammmauuuuunt of cooling in that car, you could fit a family of four in that." Alex really is a chip off the old block. Lovely video.

You can see Alex having to try really hard to exert the physical force required to drive an analogue car. Martin’s got old school core strength, even at his age. Big fan of these 2 guys

Don't forget the Aston Martin AMR1s in 89, by Sunday morning they were getting as big a cheer from the Jag supporters as the XJRs. And at the start of group C you also had the Ferrari engined, Martini Lancia's, the AM Nimrods, and the Group 44 XJR5s. Toyota's, Nissan's, wish we could go back to then, much better than LMP. At least that's better than F1.

p jay I never implied Brundle was on the same level as Schumi or Lauda, just that his particular injuries are pretty detrimental to being fast in a racing car. Those two champs were clearly in the highest level of driver, but guys like Brundle were still quick and capable. It’s a well known fact that Brundle could no longer left foot brake after that accident. Similarly Johnny Herbert had a horrific accident in f3000 where he broke both ankles so badly, one foot was practically hanging off by a thread and he was never the same despite a handful of wins in F1. Point being, both could’ve been faster if not for having their feet smashed to bits.

Martin called in sick for the last F1 broadcast, Alex replaces him, and no-one noticed. What a sweet car, love it. Awesome vid, love it. Loved Martin's little dig, "Give it plenty of clutch, you know, it's the one on the left."

All Group C cars are iconic. The series was legendary

Alex you sound like your father in every way. In the use of words, and descriptions. The commentary is safe well into the future.

How amazing. Both father and son Le Mans specialists. Martin won both the world championship, and Le Mans. Alex came second in the world championship, and came second at Le Mans. I love the way that he said both around trophies are side by side in the cabinet which is really sweet. But yeah, what a car that was. I'd give anything to drive that. Insane era.

Great to see father and son take this incredible car out. I was at Le Mans in 1990 when Martin and the Jaguar team won.. Brilliant to see.

Lucky enough to say I saw these cars fighting the Mercedes, at Silverstone, Donington, and I was also at Le Mans in 1990, great days!!!!

I’ve always loved Jaguar’s racing cars and the XJR-12 is my favorite. Love the sound of that beautiful V-12.

Damn beautiful car that was during its day. I miss the big Jag's roaring around the track chased by Porche 962's

He's a lovely young bloke - I hope he gets into broadcasting too - he has a real authenticity that cuts well to camera. Funny watching Brundle junior wrestling, you can see the effort and the G's managing that brute of a racecar - but the old boy was perfectly relaxed as he cheerfully hustled one of the most intimidating engines of all time through the lunacy that is La Sarthe. Beautiful.

I could watch a regular channel from the Brundles! Love Martin and his son Alex who basically sounds so alike

That is a thing of beauty. I loved the XJR Jags of this time

Thanks a bundle both you Brundles!!👀👍

What a great show. Really well put together.

It’s crazy how much he looks and sounds like his father 🤯

Gotta love the car, a special day For father and son 👍

Nice looking car. By Martin's admission, he felt more at home in cars like this one compared to F1 cars.

Delighted to see this. Dad is my favourite driver and commentator, Alex has clearly got the same no nonsense character, which is and will make him great.

Wow...Alex sounds SOOO much like his Dad....I had never heard him speak before.

"Goes like a cut cat" gets a different meaning with this one!

Wow! Stuff of dreams guys, great vid!

That exhaust note, brutally exquisite!!

Wow...looks and sounds like a racing car. Even has a clutch!!!

Such a pretty piece of kit

What a great Dad.

Martin can be proud of his son. Terrific guy

This is a really well done video.

Gorgeous car.

Beautiful.

Lovely video of my favourite Group C car.

Lucky to see the XJR -12 win at Le Mans in 1990. At the campsite afterwards, even the French were cheering “Shaggwaaahh, shaggwaaahh!”

He sounds just like his old man don’t he - - and Martin is a lovely fella ! Thanks for the pic in Monza chap.

Amazing car!
