goodwood soapbox crash

[buellridrm2]

Holy crap, these soapbox racers are hauling ass!!! Well until....

[fbmjay]

Love the perfect 180 by the other guy. Ideal for getting the best view of your opponent crash and burn.

[Microglia1]

I mean...this has nothing to do with the car or the skills but with who has the balls to crash out the other guy...it's the chicken one that crashes...reminds me of track racing cycles.

[basicgroove]

0:53 looked like the H-Fighters from Star Wars xDDD

[mikeryry]

lmao...tears n all, brilliant!! would've loved to have been a fly on the wall in the cocpit, good clean full on fun

[chrisstefanetti1]

hahahahahah this absoloute gold

[cessna65423]

OMG the comments gave me a GREAT LAUGH. Actually i think the fat car was forced to the inside because he was overtaking the blue car, otherwise he would have rear ended him. If you watch the 1st race the fat car is further behind the blue car as they came to that turn, but if you compare his position in the 2nd race he was right on his tail and closing. This kind of racing is pretty exciting.

[slash4x4lipo]

what is the material he use for the window?

[thesunreport]

@slash4x4lipo ...perspex maybe??

[thealcoholeffect]

That blue one is like a coffin but with wheels. Awesomeness.

[john8teeen]

thats bad!

[YouAdamNazzkl0wn]

wow! that was fantastic...

drafting, passing AND crashes!!!

[nicky185]

Why was the driver swamped by half of Quantamano Bay?

[neverbeen2]

first race of the F1 season soon.oohhoonn tune in if your having trouble sleeping :)

[neverbeen2]

they must be dizzy after 4-5 hours of that.don't the audiance have anything better to do? i'm no great fan of f1 either but at least they have the brains to make tracks a bit more interesting,they got beyond the roundabout stage long ago.

[BRG124]

I concur with neverbeen2. But oohhoonn has some

valid points. Having raced both motorized and

non-motorized vehicles, I can say that the non-

motorized vehicle racing has more appeal.

Conservation of momentum becomes paramount in

your driving decisions.  I guess that holds

true for all racing, but the law of gravity is

the great equalizer. Most would feel naked

without their throttles.

[karter005]

bahahahhahahaha the blue thing is driving backwards this is very cool, i race karts and would like to do this sorta stuff when im not racing karts

[lindand]

Forget your kart. Soapboxraces are for REAL men ;-)

[neverbeen2]

could always drive round and round in circles like the yanks do  :( YAWN

[oohhoonn]

Or you could never pass like the europeans do :( Yawn

[neverbeen2]

turn 1 turn 2 turn...your going round and round there aint any turns you fools :(

[oohhoonn]

Why don't you strap into an 850HP stock car with hard tires and hardly any downforce and tell me how boring it is driving 200MPH inches away from a concrete wall and other cars.

[neverbeen2]

i'd be too scared i would get dizzy and fall asleep,or the boredom would make me nod off before that. yanks are easily amused :)

[oohhoonn]

Us "Yanks" are amused by hard, close racin, not a high speed parade of manufacturers in order of who spent the most money. :)

[neverbeen2]

i suppose if you don't keep going round and round the crowd would leave as they would have thought it must be over.short attention span,but eating and drinking non stop for hours keeps them entertained :) it's the crashes that they are there to watch,a bit sick really. it's just a glorified roundabout.

[oohhoonn]

Yanks have short attention span? Why are F1 races like 90 minutes when NASCAR races last 4 or 5 hours? If oval track racing is really so awful why are all the open wheel guys begging to get into it? It is more than just for money, any real racer wants the best competition in the world and a real oppurtunity to win. That is why JPM made the move, he was sick of not havin a shot at winning because he didn't drive for one of the top teams. A real shame what f1 has become, just a damn money parade.

[pasty123456789]

JPM would have been sacked from mclaren if he hadn't left, and he had nowhere better to go than nascar

[BRG124]

[mvfF1Fanatic]
