This video clip from 1964 shows great British Touring Car Championship racing at the now extinct Crystal Palace circuit. An array of cars is shown on the track but I especially enjoy the Lotus-Cortinas, Minis and the big Ford Galaxies. Jim Clark threw his Lotus into perfectly controlled four wheel drifts around the corners, he went on to win the race and ultimately the ’64 BSCC championship. But my favorite part is watching a Galaxie lead a pack of Cortinas, if you concentrate hard enough you can hear the Yakkity Sax. Press play for good times.

Wow, that’s some crazy Mini carnage.
