Children compete in adorable pedalfest race at Goodwood Revival

The Goodwood Revival is an annual three-day event held each September in England, in which drivers race cars from the mid-20th century while the spectators watch on wearing period clothes.

Part of the event is the Settrington Cup, with children ranging from 5 to 9 years old competing in two races - one on Saturday and one on Sunday - in Austin J40s.

Saturday's race this year was held in dreary conditions. Forty-six cars lined up for a Le Mans start, with the grid being determined via a random draw.

Harry Dark got an incredible launch at the start from seventh position and took over the early lead.

Dark continued to huff and puff and build up his lead, as he pedaled his No. 3 machine down the straight to where Sir Stirling Moss was standing with the checkered flag. When all was said and done, his margin of victory was an incredible 10 seconds!

Don't be surprised if this isn't the last we hear of Harry Dark.
