Battle like it's 1909 | 2020 S.F. Edge Trophy part 1 full race | Goodwood SpeedWeek

The S.F. Edge Trophy for 2020 was split into two parts, changing from a single 20 minute race, to a pair of 5 lap sprints. This created two awesome hard fought sprints for victory from the Edwardian leviathans that make up the grid. Inside you'll find the Fiat S76 Beast of Turin, the Mercedes Benz GP, legendary Darracq 200hp land speed record car and more all racing at Goodwood SpeedWeek presented by Mastercard. #gwspeedweek

I'm so glad events like this exist, love seeing this old tech get used the way it was meant to!

[matthewpayne]

More action in one lap than a F1 race. Thrilling stuff.

[gryfandjane]

These guys must be utterly fearless, especially the gent on the Darracq. I’ve read about that car, and it’s about as primitive as you can get. Wonderful stuff!

[kmc]

The high chair on the Mercedes GV602 looks terrifying 😂

I dont know or watch alot about older racing cars, but that 28L 4 Cyl with a redline of about 8 absolutely puts a smile on my face

[heklyr]

This has to be one the most exciting races I’ve ever seen. Imagine trying to keep that leaderboard updated! lol

[stephen_unc]

Thin wheels, poor grip, high barycentre, positive cambers, that's tough men's racing

[eunoo]

Race cars driven like they should be, and not rotting in a garage.

[ryanprice]

Absolutely phenominal! Having grown up around Model T's and horseless carriages it is an absolute thrill to watch these old machines do what they were intended to do - RACE!

[barryphillips]

These old cars are almost hilarious too watch they are so basic almost crude, wonderful too see them out and about! The Fiat S 76, what a BEAST 28ltr 4 cylinder 300hp 128mph at 1000rpm, just unbelievable!

Respecting the very early History of Real Race "Cars" - and real Race Drivers, they are HERE just right now to see !!! THANK YOU, GOODWOOD ! AMAZING

[texleeger]

This IS the new formula. Formula 1. :)
PS I'm from the States, i.e., the sticks. You Brits knew it all along. Now me too. I just adore Goodwood.

That Darraq is my favorite pre ww1 vehicle of all time. I am saddened by the previous owner passing away, he was utterly ruthless when driving it, like he was almost reckelss! Drove it the way it was built to be driven. Hard to say if he would have been any more aggresive than the current driver was in this race though. Pretty damn impressive imo. Considering that car has basically 1 usable gear and a redline of like 1200 RPM.

Spent a day at Snetterton Vintage racing last year, the best racing ever, add to this that it was raining and watching these cars sliding around at slow speeds really showed the drivers' skills.

[thetreblerebel]

Goodwood looks like a very beautiful race track

[uprooy]

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful, The whole race and all of the cars, but my favorite is the Darracq V8. Man WHAT a romantic car that is.... FANTASTIC

[trainzguy]

I could have mistaken this for colorized film of the early 1900s if the drivers were wearing goggles and scarves!

[trob]

The Darracq is the wildest car out there. A chassis with an engine, wheels and a driver. As basic as it gets but surprisingly fast and agile.

[leucetius]

Crazy to think that the Darracq and the Beast of Turin both competed at the Saltburn Speed Trials

[VeraTheTabbynx]

Now that was an exciting show. Was personally rooting for the wacky bodiless Darraq V8 and the ridiculous Fiat S76 with its 28.4 litre I4. Glad to see the Darraq do so well, pity the S76 is so slow through turns.
