Was that race only for the Mk 1 or doesn't anybody race the Mk 2?

They are the best looking car, Mk1, that Ford ever built, although I did love the Zakspeed Capri.

Indeed!

​@gsd4me00 they did race the m2...but some of these races feature cars from certain years...or up to a certain year..

It's the Jim Clark trophy, Clark being very well known for his MK I Lotus Cortina racing. Hence the field of MK I's.

Agree!

Well, at least you can see what the drivers are doing. Plus they can actually OVERTAKE!!

Not F1 before the techies in the pits took over all control of the cars, and all the front seat passenger does now is to steer the things around the corner. Do you remember the way that Bruce McLaren drove in the 1968 Race of Champions at Brands Hatch? First time out in his new M7A, pole position at the record time, then, of 1:30 dead, and then a flag to flag victory. That was driving a car. And not forgetting his win in the Belgian GP, making him only the 2nd driver, ever, to win a GP in a car with his own name on it. Jack Brabham was the other one. Although Dan Gurney won a GP in his own car, and the Yanks claim he was the third, the car was not called a Gurney, it was an EAGLE, which Dan Gurney doesn't have for any of his names.

@@Demun1649 yeah, F1 is veeeery far from that glory.

Fact!

I empathise with your Dad! Tears and favourite cars go hand in hand!

You can be sure, the moment he sees that race he would grin from ear to ear.

Probably 5 times as many racing as left the factory.

Mee too man, watching these Goodwood races at home, on a sunday afternoon with a cup of hot coffee in my hand, what a treat!

@@crusader5989 what's your coffee of choice brother man, I'm a fellow pothead

@@OG_MuttDog it is called Moka express but the origin i think is arabica, quite roasted, i buy the whole grains and grind it myself. It is quite strong. I prepare it in my Bialetti Moka Express

It 'is' the Jim Clark Trophy - and he himself drove a Galaxie...

@@paulcaswell2813 And?? You were never at Brands Hatch to see Jim Clark take every corner on three wheels in his Lotus Cortina. The money was with the big Yankee trash land yachts with their truck engines of over 4.5 litres and up to 7 litres. Yanks have never made a 2 litre engine that competed worldwide. Yankeeland is trash.

@@Demun1649 I can't deny that!

@@Demun1649 They are too used to drags, long straights and 250 mph corners. Why would they feel the need to race small cars like Cortinas and Minis round twisty cornered tracks? Well, OK, some of the sane ones do.

@@phildavenport4150 Are you a Yenghi? Or just a spineless traitor?

Much like Morris Cooper Ss. Twice as many on the road as were actually manufactured.

What, six different shades of grey?

Are they all built to a certain regulation?

They will be on the best (probably control) tyre available. You won't see many wheels in the air when the tyres are doing most of the work, and helping ordinary drivers look better than they are.

⁠@@phildavenport4150 nope all on old(new) Dunlop M cross plys that are as hard as rocks. Tyre definitely isn’t doing most of the work.

That’s what colour they were in the 60’s .mostly white lotus cortina’s .red ones were usually GT’s
