We Tried the Worlds CHEAPEST Motorsport!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
THIS is Lawn Mower Racing. A bunch of MANIACS get together in a field to do some of the craziest racing you’ve ever seen on 50mph lawn mowers. For some reason, we’re giving it a go.
🚜 Thanks to the BLMRA for having us! If you want to go racing - check them out 👉 blmra.co.uk 👈
We should probably explain how we got to this point. Since we took three cheap cars to a track day, the obvious next step was to take on the world of motorsport.
There’s one big problem, motorsport is EXPENSIVE. A season of Formula 2 would cost you about £2,000,000, a year of GT racing would cost you £400,000, but Lawn Mower racing costs LESS than £2000 for a full season (and that includes the mower!).
So to give Lawn Mower Racing a go, we’re going to do some practice on the fastest class of lawnmowers before doing a 20 minute race with 35 mowers on track - we’ve been thrown well and truly in the deep end.
So we headed to Dorking for the final round in the British Lawnmower Racing Championship, where Callum had a confession to make. Why has this one got your name on it?
Scott and I were just trying to get our heads around the mowers when we were interrupted by an important announcement.

Lawnmower racing has always looked like loads of fun but As I get older, I can literally feel the pain just thinking about trying to drive these with pace. You guys should try doing a rally Cross race next.

The difference in attitude to this from you guys compared to when The Skid Factory and Benny gave it a go is a hilarious contrast between British mindsets and the Aussie mindset. I love the combination of fear and competitiveness that Scott jumped in with - definitely a good sport. Great video!
Callum put an MX-5 into a bush and came out the other side on a lawn mower. Will looks like he's straight out of the 1950's with that helmet and goggles.
that's kinda how they felt at the formula 1 back in the 50's, I don't see much difference between those lawn mowers and the old cars, perhaps the lawn mowers are safer!

United States Lawn Mower Racing Association is the NASCAR of lawn mower racing here in the states, but if you just want to get involved for the fun of it, inquire if your local area or state has a club or events held. I live in Maine, and they have multiple outlets for lawn mower racing: Andover's Olde Home Days, and Saco Pathfinder's (a snow mobile club) also host lawn mower racing year round (including racing on frozen lakes and ponds in the winter!).

There's also rototiller racing. It's like drag racing but you run behind a tiller powering down a freshly tilled strip of dirt with the tines just catching into the top of the ground. I first saw this on the Lucas Oil On the Edge show on Speed channel. One couple competed in two classes, stock and unlimited. She ran a stock tiller and decided to have a go with her husband's unlimited. IIRC she made it about 4 steps before she couldn't keep up. Never let go of the handles while it dragged her down the rest of the track. Must have long legs and be able to run fast for the unlimited class. There's an organization for drag racing snowmobiles on grass. Or if you want a more sedate sport there are two professional cornhole leagues, with thousands of $ in prize money at stake.
You should try backwards racing or caravan racing. Used to be a thing in the Netherlands. Verstappen and Tsunoda did a small promotional run at Zandvoort
Absolutly brillant, such good vibes between these guys! Keep on doing great! Cheers from France

The fact the races are held in Dorking is a bit on the nose... but also super appropriate. Looks like a blast, but isn't going to attract the beautiful people! 😁
I enjoyed this a lot. Might beef up my lawnmower 🤣
Amazing content, keep it up guys!
More please! I would like to see you all build your own budget mowers from hardware store bits!

Hah, that was a lot of fun to watch. Good vibes! I've done motocross and enduro, but I'd never get on one of these machines, way too dangerous 🤣

My Village did a yearly lawnmower race. Our races track was an oval street fenced off with straw bails. The drivers who didn't bring helmets got ones from the fire brigade. Ancient, ancient helmets
this explains the Race lawnmower engines i keep seeing for sale in various shops.
I remember 24h racing on lawnmowers. It was great fun. No blade of grass was saved.
Sidecar racing! Thats something id love to see!
Even better, the track improves over time the more it gets raced on thanks to the mowers
I love that lawnmower racing is also a thing across the pond, we're not so different you and I A most excellent video to discover your channel 👏
That 7 time champ has a real physical advantage with his light weight. It has to make a TON of difference with those small engines. Good luck to any normal sized man that comes against him, no matter how skilled.
This looks so much fun. Plus this is miles better than the modern Top Gear.
This was comical😁😂, great fun though I'd have a go at it!😜✌️
lawnmower racing is SOOOOO much fun.
All motorized vehicles are band on the island of Sark (you even need a doctor's note to ride an electric bicycle) so they race their mowers up the hill, but they put big motorbike engines in theirs! It's crazy! There are some KZread vids of them to check out
