While not a car enthusiast, I do gain enjoyment and somewhat of a relaxation watching these and other videos of nostalgia racing. The footage is always inspiring creatively. The enthusiasm of racers and  spectators is a little infectious. The filming weaves quite a story along the way.

Are there other interesting races or clubs on Youbtunbe or elsewhere?

I follow the Vintage Sports Car Club (been to one or two of their local track meets, when we could go out without catching plague...).  This is one of their hill climb weekends a few years ago.

Persons intending to travel by open carriage should select a seat with their backs to the engine, by which means they will avoid the ashes emitted therefrom, that in travelling generally, but particularly through the tunnels, prove a great annoyance; the carriage farthest from the engine will in consequence be found the most desirable.

Those are daring men in their jaunty jalopies. A great time had by all. It must be H E hockeysticks being stuck in the mud like that. I was expecting Toad, Ratty and Bertie Badger to make a showing

Thanks for sharing

Was that Betty Royal on the motor bike near the end here ?

Here is another interesting vintage motor vehicle  organisation. Their Facebook page has videos of nostalgia and recent races of retro and vintage vehicles. Sports, cars and bikes included.

We would really like to go to the Goodwood Revival, which happens in September every (non covid) year, but it's a bit pricey and there seems to be so much to see that I don't know if I've got the stamina ...
You have to tread a fine line between avant-garde surrealism and getting yourself sectioned...

  It does look enticing on the Website and FB videos.  In the current covid environment though, it might best observed from a big screen TV  via  device hook up. How does one recreate the petrol, road dust and feathers on the lounge at home?
