No downforce cigar racecars are the pinnacle of our sport. Imo.

Skinny cross ply tyres and limited power also make for a different challenge to big power high downforce cars with massive super sticky radial tyres. I can't agree its the pinnacle, but it is really exciting to watch.

​@@JakobusVdLit's the pinnacle of car racing, by far. Don't confuse car speed with car racing

Best type of bug to be bitten by. I still race at Killarney Cape Town every month at the age now of seventy and still don't have any intention of stopping. The adrenaline bug.🤣🤣

I had to watch the whole race twice. Every time I see these cars I’m a little boy again. Thanks again, Goodwood!

That's a bummer for 32

I love the unique body on number 32. It looks home built in someone's garage.

Absolutely beautiful.

Now this brings back memories. Very cool

I miss the comments of top 3 that were a part of these in years past.

If you know your Mallock history it was Chapman copying Mallock in the early 50's.. The car is a Mallock U2 mk2 ford created by Rays Dad Arthur, I think to this day there is a mk 37 which came out recently.. The U2 concept was racing for the everyman, "U2 can have a race car like mine" early advertising. Basically Arthur made the chassis specialist components and you went to the junk yard and picked up the rest of the car on a tight budget post ww2. Having raced a mk27 and mk30 its a great formula called Clubmans racing where 90% of the field are Mallocks.

@@mallockracerYup, a history check needed there. Mallock cars were very thoughtfully designed - eg, 10% narrower than the rest, meaning that the track was, effectively, 10% wider for a Mallock driver! Lovely race, great driving by the lead pair. Sorry for Ray on last lap, but that’s racing..

@@leslieaustin151 Mallock taught chapman the race starts as soon as the rule book arrived, The book the lone furrow has some great stories of Arther. for example a fellow racer noticed Arthurs race car did not have a dynamo fitted to the engine, Mallock had one fitted it was a bicycle dynamo bolted into the glove box, the rule never stated the location and make of the dynamo, also that the car had to carry a spare wheel, so most would bolt them on to the boot of the car, not Arthur, he removed the tyre and bolted to to the underside of the car to save weight and lower the c of g. The rule book just said wheel, not wheel and tyre and stated you had to carry a spare wheel, not where you had to carry it. Needless to say the rule book got thicker and thicker...

Ah, that hurts. But you have to wonder why Roach started losing pace the last few laps. I wish there was some follow up to assuage my curiosity.

Is number 32 a Qualcast?

32 was playing with 12

Mario Kart IRL

Looked like a mis-judgement after passing the 42 car. Possibly too fast into the turn. Not all was lost, after all, 2nd place is also a great boast.

What is the no 32 car

As soon as that lead developed, why didn’t Mallock slow down?!?

@wraitheful - Just my thoughts: I suppose if this race was a round of a championship, they'd be more inclined to concentrate on maximising points? But these guys are out there to 'race' these classics hard in an actual race - not just conduct a fast parade.
