How can a Mini be THAT FAST ! - Mini Legend Nick Swift shows me how ! _ 4K

I'm God, how's that guys? You're always asking me for more mini content, and anyone who knows anything about minis will know the gentleman to my right, Nick Swift. To make I can't believe I'm sat in one of your cars at Goodwood and we're about to go for some hot laps. You might want to get out in a minute.

So, tell me about the car because it's okay. What we're in this morning is our 1275 GT Richard Longman replica, um, of 1978-79. Richard won the British saloon car Championship as it was then. Yeah, he won it overall as a championship winner because they split it into classes. And he obviously kept winning the class so he became the British Car Champion. So, sponsored by Patrick Motorsport and ICA fuels, etc., etc. So, a real iconic sort of mini well-known car from that period. Yeah, the real car does exist, and it's currently owned by BMW Classic, uh, and is in the car collection Museum in Munich. Yeah, um, state which they bought a couple of years back, bought it but a few noughts on the end of it. They want this one so yeah.

We're 1293, we're we're we're 1293 kilometers per hour, we're going to try and beat that top speed. We'll see how fast we can go. Okay, now we're approaching Saint Mary's. This is our first turn, and it looks like a bit of a challenge. The maximum speed limit here is 120 miles an hour, but I'm going for 125 miles an hour today.

As we approach the corner, I'm feeling the weight transfer onto the right rear of the car. It's a lot lighter on the left. But the limited slip diff is working it, pulling it into the corner. And the front wheel is almost unloaded, so I can just kiss the curb and not upset the balance of the car. This is how we make it work.

I've been around Google many times that was that was that was sensational. Yeah, when our professional friends all our Ollie Gavin and Darren Turner and then we go right through to um uh Alex Brundle blah blah blah or some absolutely made some fantastic friends from this. Karoon Chandok you know all the guys that have driven The Minis and they go rule book of how to drive a racing car. You know, run over like get that roll back together let's go and it's and it's and you drive it yeah aggressively you're driving like you're stolen. You know and it's the only way you can really pull the pull the speed out of it.

Thank you so much guys, I hope you enjoyed that. I think mini content doesn't get any better than that for me if you did make sure you give me a thumbs up.
