- Jump onboard with Nick Swift as he sends the Swiftune Works car, Willow 3, around Goodwood at the 2022 Goodwood Revival, St Mary’s Trophy Part 2 race.
Battling against giant machinery such as the Ford Galaxie, Alfa Romeo GTA and Ford Lotus Cortina, our mighty Mini shows that outright power isn’t everything.
Swiftune had a total of six Mini’s on the grid this year. Jump onboard with Nick Swift as he storms Willow 3 to finish a very respectable sixth place.

In about 1994 or so I brought my 1989 mini in for a Swiftune 1380cc / Kent 286 / JKD 5sp SCCR gearbox… oh happy days. Should never have sold it.
Congrats on a truly magnificent drive, Nick.
I've been following Motorsport for over 35 years and I have never seen anyone as comfortably skilled as you are with a front-engined, front-wheel-drive car. The way you set it up so 'on the nose' and yet you can hang onto the little rascal! It's a joy to watch every time. Well done.
Thank you for the high praise.
Geez mate, if my mini was that clean, I would be afraid to take it out the garage lest a leaf drop on it. And there you are drifting yours at speed like it was meant to be driven. Good stuff.
Most excellent . Proves a mini is the most fun you can have with your trousers on .Bravo .
Congrats on a great drive. Came for for some tips on how to drive a mini fast around Goodwood, but stayed for the great battle with the Lotus Cortina, Galaxy and Alfas. I love watching the battle between the Galaxy and mini. Entertaining as always.
Great drive, Nick! I love the Mini's phenomenal cornering ability. That no. 68 Cortina was fishtailing like a mackerel on the hook.
Go nick. From a drag racer the states. I enjoy watching you. Class act. Funny too.
Videos like this help me get through the long Canadian winter. A new season just around the corner now. Thanks Swifty!
Great drive as always.
High rev and stable sounds proves it is very tough engine as well as strong gear box inside !
The king of the Mini Men,
Awesome!! What a fantastic drive. Excellent to be on board for that. Thankyou! Congratulations 👏🏻🎉
Trying to pass that red Galaxie must be like trying to pass an aircraft carrier, and he clearly wasn’t hesitating to use his size. Outstanding drive!
The only motorsport I watch: classics.
Tremendous stuff, lads. Cheers.
Got the self preservation society going through my head 😊
Lovely to watch this.. ✌️
This made my day and is the closest I can get now to driving one of your cars. Cheers!
Reminds me of Jason Plato. That ain't easy.
Brilliant drive
Cracking drive. What horsepower is the mini running at?
totaly awesome!
Amazing racing Nick, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If only they was allowed to run the minis on a slick or semi slick 🤯🤯🤯 these minis would be next level against the big v8s
swiftys the man 💪🏽💪🏽
Now there is a happy race driver, well steered.
Fantastic blast of cars from my teenage years. Thanks for sharing!
Great save!...Great drive
Thank you. Really enjoyed this one.
@@SwiftuneEngineering always a pleasure watching you carve through the field upsetting the bigger boys.
Ok what you need to do is just as the Cortina's are getting squirrelly at the apex a gentle push in the direction of travel ought to sort them 🙂
Jeeezus! Those Cortinas are tail happy under braking! 😯 I'd be scared to death being surrounded by them wagging their fintails all over the place.
Fantastic thanks for sharing 😜
You're most welcome. Thanks for watching.
Mini versus american 7lt aircraft carrier , huge fun to watch , if slightly unfair but ......who cares ,my nearest circuit is castle combe , only a few miles away from me and I've watched historic racing there , must go again 😊 broom broom .
Eccezionale bravissimo
Nice lift-off oversteer! (e.g. at 9:20) 👍 ... and the best laugh at 20:25
Quick change shifter would help ?
How on earth did you catch it at 9:44?
Floor it and correct, without over correcting into a tank slapper.
Easier said than done though, as the "oh shit" factor is in full effect
I Think Nick may have driven a Mini before !
Awesome! Awesome on the edge car control. Thank you for sharing.
Great driving. Center gauge (Tach?) does not seem to move? Then again my eyesight is not great... Needless to say I am a novice.
Impressive, if it only had 50 more hp
Now I see how your near side was dented.
Front and rear of that car are in different postcodes. Willow 3 is being repaired back to full glory as we speak.
So what position did Nick finish in?
Mini wanna eatem up Cortina...btw my first new car was a 1970 Cortina $72 month...proving "I could afford a Hanna Ford!" 😎
let's see the mini pass the fords on the outside
Needs more speed on the straights. Try magnesium pistons and magnesium conrods next. The lower the reciprocating weight the more power. If the "rules" allow it of course.......
so i short , Cortina outrun them Mini outbrake them.. end
Mini's Iron Age engine is less able than even the shite Ford Crossflow mit Goofy Lotus cyl head grafted onto on it.
This is when racing was at its best, nowadays it's becoming too uniformed and quite frankly a little boring, a combination of modern cars and even worse electric cars has made a deserter out of me, I love Goodwood my favourite is the hill climb, but mixed racing still excites me.
