Grant Williams: Racing Jaguars is what my family does Mk1 Jaguar Racecar BUY 1 Goodwood Revival S8E4

We're joined by Grant Williams this week, a third generation classic Jaguar racer who is a crowd favourite out on track.

Starting from pole position in his first race, to winning the championship in the first year, to wowing the fans at Goodwood events going sideways at every opportunity.

It’s fair to say racing is in his blood. It started with his Grandfather, who with a few friends used to all race on the same license, keeping a bucket of water on the paddock to cool the drum brakes between races!

He regularly races BUY 1 which was first bought by his Grandfather from the factory team as it had disc brakes and kept beating him! Grant has also recently bought back his father's Mk2 Jaguar wide body 'lightweight' project which will be powered by 700hp V12 race engine, and features 19” wide rear wheels from an F1 car!



You can follow the whole project on YouTube.
