My dad and I were fortunate to own a 1963 Jaguar XKE OTS for over 44 years. As an immature 16 year old with a new license I was able to drive this car in all manner of conditions and see 147 mph on that beautiful Smiths speedometer. Speeds above 100 mph in the wet were frightening: tires were not as good as modern tires and the narrow track combined with the narrow section stock tires and factory limited slip differential made for very little warning before a terrifying snap spin would occur. Fortunately I never damaged the car, but these experiences gave me a tremendous respect for the expert driving seen in this video. In dry conditions the jag could be drifted in a controlled manner, but the big torquey six could easily spin you around in second gear up to 75 mph or so. Third was good for 115. Lots of fun on Saturday night.

Beautiful cars from a wonderful era. At 71 these were the cars I dreamed about in my youth.

Un film fantastique comme seul Goodwood sait en faire. Un reportage magnifique pour revivre une tres belle course sur le mouillé sur la type E de 1962 de Fisken. Chapeau une fois encore au coup de volant de Mister Kristensen!

Whatever happened to motor racing? Watching these Goodwood races is just fantastic, I can't get enough of them. Nothing like we see now with the over regulated, make-them-all-the-same-so-it's-fair cars of today. Why don't we have a stock body series that is this entertaining? NASCAR is done in my mind. The Aussie V8s come close to this kind of action but that is about it.

Beautiful race cars... lots of variety... makes watching so much fun. One of my favs is the interior view inside a GTO racing (maybe not this video) and the keys in the ignition swinging back and forth. For real .. for sure!!

Typical Tom K to be apologizing for not winning, but praising the car, his co-driver (who basically threw away the lead...) and the team. He is such a gentleman, a magnificent racing driver and a great personality 👌👌👌

No mention of Tom Kristensen´s grat drive, despite Fisken´s minor effort. Had Tom been British, I guess the hysteria would be there.

how does one become a driver in racing of any kind of car class? In Nascar it seems to be family/friends/who you know. Then you have stuff like this, GT, F1, etc..

@philcopson3900 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheAslakVind What I can afford or own, doesn't come into it: I go to Goodwood every year because I love the cars, and I comment on things because it's irritating when people who should know better, get basic stuff wrong. (Example - every book you ever read about Jaguars, claims that the D-type has it's engine canted over by 7 or 8 degrees "to lower the bonnet line": Anyone with an atom of common-sense would realise that it you tilt a rectangle by a few degrees, it gets TALLER not lower. Like any car made in the past 40 years or so, the D-type's engine is tilted to give more room on the intake side for ram-pipes/fuel injection/plenum chambers etc. The D-type's bonnet-line is lower because it has a shallow "dry sump" with the oil pumped to-and-from a separate oil-tank, btw) PS: When-and-if you get your own E-type - don't forget to ask me for one of my 5-speed conversions - if you can afford one?
