    It is stated that if You participate in a folkrace you have to sell your car after the race if anyone wants to buy it. It is a fixed, low, price ( i think it is around 600 pounds) and thats just so no one builds a monster to win every race. The aim is that every one should afford to race and the skill behind the wheel should be what matters.

    • @matseriksson8177
      @matseriksson8177 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The fixed price is 8000 SEK ~730 EUR ~620 BGP.
      ANYONE (randomly selected) 15 years or older, including Guy, are allowed to buy ANY car that has participated in a race day.
      ALL partcipants, including Guy, are OBLIGED to sell their cars after a race day, if ANYONE (over 15) is willing to pay the 730 EUR.
      (Edit: Apparently you are allowed buy our own car IF you happen to be randomly selected as a buyer for your own car.)

    I went through 4 Volvo 240 as a kid loved them, crashed one at 70kmh into a wall and we all hoped out no problems had a 740 and thought it would be smart to put 10 bottles of octane booster in it, ended up having to take of the heads in the rain and take them to a machine shop, got some funny looks from the bus driver but aye when your young and dumb, long live the Volvo!!

    Love the old Volvo Guy has when you think 800 H P , no wonder it keeps blowing up , but style wise love it , watched his first ( Guy Garage ) and can't wait for the next episode, incidentally I drive a Volvo estate had it over six years and love the look of them I've done over sixty thousand miles in it but in total it's done 146000 and it's still as smooth as ever and very reliable its only a modest 1.6 Diesel eco but I've towed a trailer with motorbikes on it for my son to track days to Mallory park and Anglesey did the job I would like the bigger one though , love estates.

    In translation you would say "peoplesracing". All made as cheap as possible so anyone can effort it. This by simple rools. If anyone want to buy the car after the race, you have to sell. The price is fixed, and you only allowed to keep your personal equippement like belts and seat. This keep the price down and the cars at least somewhat equal made.
