Default old classic racing

if you enjoy old car/bike racing you are most likely already watching 2024 Goodwood revival https://youtu.be/3ar6gZPhLPU

Typical pommie summer weather and those drivers have more balls or less brain than I'll ever have but so enjoyable

Was watching the clip of an old Austin Healey hanging it out in the wet.

The comments! Some people are either clueless or just trolling. Or maybe just bots.

It's much easier to slide an old car around like that than drive a modern one. The reason is that the older car breaks free much more gradually, it tolerates and even encourages large slip angles that would be disastrous in a modern car and controlling it does not require the reflexes or precision required of a modern car.
