  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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 🙂

      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

    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.......

    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.
