What do you get when you combine a current Formula One driver with a lumbering American classic? Plenty of onboard sideways action is the answer, and it’s coming to the Goodwood Revival 2014.
Here we go again! Goodwood Revival 2014 is this weekend, and we can’t wait. It’s an event which always delivers, and this video from Goodwood Road and Racing has got us even more excited.
What you’re about to watch is current Formula One Marussia team driver Max Chilton behind the wheel of an 1965 Alan Mann Ford Mustang in preparation for the upcoming event. He’s testing the Mustang and pushing it to the limit in the process!
Watch as Chilton rows through the gears and hustles this big, right hand drive Mustang around the track. It’s a considerably different car in every conceivable way to the Marussia he’s used to, the Mustang of course has no grip, and even less braking. More often than not he’s having to point the front wheels in the opposite direction to that which the cars is traveling mid corner – a sure sign of a good time!
