Thanks for coming along guys, was great to race with you all... Hopefully you had a good time shedding some light onto our amazing sport and helping to encourage new participants. Hopefully see you again some time 👍
Callum being excited for his win and spraying a champagne bottle in Wills face while Will barely stumbles off the tractor, completely unphased by the spray. That right there was the moment I had to pause for a cry-laugh 😂😂😂
It reminded me if the time Hammond won a off road race in a bowler against a a presenter on a German car motoring show and went straight up to his face to celebrate hahaha
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!
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.
I love the way this is scrambling Scott’s brain! This is Blokes that are out to have fun, regular guys having a blast. Love this. I was watching with a smile on my face. Sheer entertainment!
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!
Rewatched this episode three times because of how incredibly funny and crazy it is. Also love that they were all physically shaken from lawn mower racing
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.
The mowers are pretty light and with protective gear it's usually not too bad. Occasionally a broken bone or stitches but that's about the worst of it.
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
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.
In my town we had a realy big tradition in this kind of racing cince 2002 but it was cancelled because of to much costs, but Last year it got revived, there where over 10000 people all organized by one litlle village before it was cancelled there we're around 25000 people every year the race was like 24 hours. The event was called Thöne24
In the states, each mower is built by the racer. And can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be. Just a couple years ago, the regulating body for lawn mower racing, just allowed Chinese clone engines to be sanctioned. So no longer are racers limited to Briggs, Tecumseh, Kholer, Kawasaki, or Honda, they now have a much wider variety of engines to get now. Meaning it just got a lot cheaper to start out.
Just stumbled upon your channel and this video was the first I watched! Super fun theme, great videography and an enjoyable watch indeed! I hope your channel blows up even more than it already is! Definitely subscribed and can’t wait to see more content!
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 TH-cam vids of them to check out
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! 😁
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
Greetings from Chile. For me, u guys are the best entertaining car related channel on YT, keep the good work. If u ever need something from here just tell me.
When I was young I used to watch TNN in America and they broadcasted on live television lawnmower racing. Your next bet is to come to America and race the American lawnmower racers who have been doing it since the early 90s that I can recall.
Me and my buddies used to do this on a friends property, though not at 50 mph, maybe 30. The funny thing is when you take the blade off they wont run, the blade acts like a flywheel. We mounted barbell weights in their place lol. Great cheap fun! Much easier on your back then go carts in these conditions.
I have plans to pick up a 12hp craftsman that runs and drives once the owner gets back from vacation. Only $60! What a wonderful sport I can’t wait to rip it!
Probably. My first car was a Smart from 1998. One day I drove a fellow student somewhere, he weight about 150kg and the whole car felt different. The steering felt totally wrong.
Holy cow! I did not know our cousins across the pond did this as well. I used to run a Simplicity do they sell those in the UK? It's makes sense though. Most of the lawns in the US are imported English and European grasses.
Proper budget Top Gear vibes, well done lads
Imho budget Top Gear was often best Top Gear.
Between this channel and drivetribe, I feel they both help feel the void of top gear. Would love to see them colab one day
The only thing missing is the Stig and guys in white lab coat handing out challenges.
that context made me love this channel even more
it's a top gear season 2022 🤩
Literal grassroots racing. I love it!
lol
Couldn't of said it better myself.
Thanks for coming along guys, was great to race with you all... Hopefully you had a good time shedding some light onto our amazing sport and helping to encourage new participants. Hopefully see you again some time 👍
Sounds like you have been categorized as "very fast" lmao
This looks amazing. Wish it existed near me.
Cheers for having us Kenny! The thumbnail shot of you looks 👌
Is it permissible to remove the blades?
@@AmaroqStarwind lol
That actually looks like so much fun for not a lot of money.
Don’t forget to remove the mower blades for more performance.
@@AmaroqStarwind lmao, only for performance
@@laurentderrien It adds extra mass to the engine, and produces negative downforce. Also, it’s a safety hazard.
American hospitals are considerably more costly.
@@AmaroqStarwind it should produce more downforce, shouldn't it? It sucks you to the ground.

@@OVERDRIVE.studios lol. I don't think he could flinch 🤣

@@OVERDRIVE.studios try some mini bike drag racing. And some off road mini bike racing too. It'll blow your mind.
@@isaaclim4572 i remember that; such a classic. lmao
great racing, gents!
I think you guys should document callum's next lawnmower races
full F1 style coverage with commentating and aerial drone shots

Still remember the time Kimi Raikkonen did lawnmower racing. It is wild he actually agreed to do it.
The video of Kimi casually rocking up, hopping on one, and demolishing Brundle is an all time classic. The ice man never flinches!
Whatever Kimi drove he was always fast
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!
4:36 "my bones are falling out of my skin" holy shit, what a line!
8:40 Will the underdog...
11:50 "I think some of mine are on the track" hahaha.
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.
ain't it a bitch how our bones get loose as we age?
we need to invent a machine to revert aging already.
The farthest we could get is healthy lifestyle and resistance training for now
My spine is screaming looking at those bumps.
I do grass cutting some yards are so bumpy my back is done by the end of the day.
I love the way this is scrambling Scott’s brain! This is Blokes that are out to have fun, regular guys having a blast. Love this. I was watching with a smile on my face. Sheer entertainment!
a couple years ago i was at a lawnmover race where they used 4 cylinder bike engines.
that was mental to watch.
Yeah it's really alot of fun until the track is bad then it's just idiotic and just taking the guess every corner you don't roll or worse
That's like putting an LS in a Smart Car.
Lol my buddy was going to get into this till he tried it once and it literally shook the fillings out of his teeth (gotta love American dental care)
Jeremy, James and Hammond really changed, they look younger now.
I would love to see a video covering callum’s races!! Also loved this video was laughing out loud the whole time! Bravo!
Ditto!
👋 I’ve started doing this myself! In case you’re interested!
@@CallumRaces just subscribed! Thank you!! Awesome content!
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!
This is definitely safer than what F1 used to be
8:08, even though they are the only ones allowed on the track, Callum still checks for traffic! Race-discipline!
Rewatched this episode three times because of how incredibly funny and crazy it is. Also love that they were all physically shaken from lawn mower racing
"You or the mower?"
I immediately like the race marshal
if top gear was this interesting, i would actually watch it. Kuddos Boys
I was literally laughing the whole time you were all racing 😂 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.
Possibly your funniest video yet. Nothing forced about it, sarcasm on point, great topic. Good stuff
if there is a 24 hours race of lawnmowers, we should call it Le Mowers
Easily becoming my favourite car channel. Chuck in some reviews combined with this type of content and launch a full episode!
It seems being big and heavy puts the centre of mass higher, making you fall easier
But that also means you have more weight to use to lean into the curve, it just takes skill to make it work.
@@znail4675 he clearly didn't do that, i get wat you mean its just he didn't dod that
I’d be cool with an entire spin off series of lawn mower racing. This was hilariously entertaining!
Imagine accidentaly falling down and a guy behinds you runs you over 💀
"he died while mowing the lawn"
The mowers are pretty light and with protective gear it's usually not too bad. Occasionally a broken bone or stitches but that's about the worst of it.
@@glenmel78 it was a joke cuz stock carry razors under them thats why its called a lawn mawer
@@nachocheese6107 they obviously take those off for racing
@@GraveUypo "cuz stock"
Yup Top Gear before it became a supercar show vibes. Love it guys!!!
i think it would be absolutely hilarious if you guys did the red bull soapbox race
on racing mowers with the engines removed lol
I'm in the states and I'm honestly going to start looking to see if I can do that here. that looks terrifyingly amazing!
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one!😂

The title shouldn’t say cheap just coolest😂❤
Definitely need to do the 12hr lawn mower race!
bloody hell, that was funny as HAY-ull c'mon....🤣🤣🤣🤣
xvellent video boys, well done!!
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
"Sir why did you leave the blade on??"
"It's not a blade, it's a downforce fan..."
i love the idea of lawnmower racing, still too expensive for me atm. You should try sim racing
Definitely not the channel I'd pick to be uploading a video about this but that just makes it better!
I am waiting for the Poker Stars advert to finish thinking, "This is gonna be good!"
AWESOME! That was a gem boys. I so want to give that a go.
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.

Callum has great taste
This is so cool. A fun time that can be enjoyed by anybody. Every other Motorsport you need to have a bit of cash.
You guys are definitely the new Top Gear. Absolutely love your videos!
I know im 2 months late but i love the old school top gear feel. takes me back to the specials/challanges they use to do!
You need to do Soapbox racing!!!
Glad to see you back :) this is what I came here for
At 10:13 looks like Will is being overtaken by Blippi 😂
This looks so much fun. Plus this is miles better than the modern Top Gear.
Racing is racing!! Looks fun.
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! 😁
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
the crazy race I'd love to see is the 24h of lemons. getting t the race would be way more expensive than the racing itself, but it'd awesome!
I'm loving how this channel is slowly becoming like top gear
This is better than The Grand Tour! The BBC should hire these 3
I remember 24h racing on lawnmowers. It was great fun. No blade of grass was saved.
Lawnmower racing?
More like yeehaw karting
Greetings from Chile. For me, u guys are the best entertaining car related channel on YT, keep the good work. If u ever need something from here just tell me.
This gave me such a good laugh. More please!
This is like old top gear specials😂

This is the hobby I never knew I needed to get into asap
Looks fun
That was great fun. Keep weeing you!
Having once shared a campsite at le mans with BLRA's finest, I can attest that they are made of different stuff to normal human beings.
Sidecar racing! Thats something id love to see!
dude this looks freaken awesome. so much fun

Even better, the track improves over time the more it gets raced on thanks to the mowers
This was so funny 😂😅🎉
this is amazing and definately should be added into gran torismo
The best part about it, is they're in Britain filming this.
This is something I'd expect to only find in my homeland of Florida
Callum must be one of the worst winners of all time :D
Awesome sport!
That looks fun! Thanks
Awesome stuff lads! Gotta love this!
That looks like a blast!
lawnmower racing is SOOOOO much fun.
With race car this light, Will's weight penalty is probably too much.
Probably. My first car was a Smart from 1998. One day I drove a fellow student somewhere, he weight about 150kg and the whole car felt different. The steering felt totally wrong.
That fwd mower was crazy also I'm pretty sure Will had the slowest one there
That mower racing is awesome I want to participate!.....🤣
this explains the Race lawnmower engines i keep seeing for sale in various shops.
Wisborough Green 1984, Noel Edmunds, Derek Bell and Oliver Reed 💪🏻🇬🇧
This video was a pleasure!
That's looks like a hell of a lot of fun definitely would enjoy more crazy motorsports I love your guys is channel
Absolutely brilliant, loved this!
I enjoyed this a lot. Might beef up my lawnmower 🤣
Holy cow! I did not know our cousins across the pond did this as well.
I used to run a Simplicity do they sell those in the UK?
It's makes sense though. Most of the lawns in the US are imported English and European grasses.
Bro this is like the budget Version of Top Gear and I love it
You guys should do some pit-bike racing. It's like dirtbike racing, but using smaller bikes that kids would use. It's really fun to do!
Bucket racing not sure how prolific it is in the UK but it’s popular here in nz and Australia basically cheap bikes riding round a small go kart track
I watched the post roll ads just to help you guys make more awesome content like this!
Looks fun wanna try that and plus it’s cheap
That is super cool looks like fun!!
I’m not afraid to go 180mph on a street bike !
I’d be afraid to go 45 to 50 mph on a mower for sure
