Mini goes overtake crazy passing bigger cars at Goodwood | 79MM

"Nick Swift's Mini exploits in his various Minis are famous in Goodwood circles. Not only is he the reigning champion of the Revival's all-Mini John Whitmore Trophy, and gave us one of the most entertaining Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard runs ever last year in his 1275GT, he also gives that Blue machine a good thrashing every year in the Gerry Marshall Trophy. Here he is in the Gerry Marshall Sprint, our reversed-grid battle for Group 1 touring cars at the 79th Goodwood Members' Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport. As he starts from close to the back there are plenty of competitors in his way to overtake, and most of them have much bigger engines to use. That has never put Swifty off though."

Awesome, I remember the Swifttune  when I helped with a Mini Se7en back in 1976. Loved to have see how Gerry Marshall would have driven at Goodwood
