THIS is grass-karting and it's one of the CHEAPEST motorsports in the world. These are 60-horsepower karts racing on a tight dirt track in the middle of a field.
We’ll be racing in slower karts in separate races to see who performs the best. The winner gets a go in one of the ‘scary’ karts.
These karts are MENTAL, running CBR 125 Honda four-stroke engines, five-speed sequential gearboxes and almost no weight!

Guys, we need an update to all the projects you guys had taken up, what happened to the BMW? The Subaru? The Porches? 500 pound challenge cars?
Yeah
The more fast series (the Subaru) have ended, the BMW was destroyed and the porches were probably included in only one video
@@ThePigeon358 WHAT!? WHEN DID THE BMW GET DESTROYED D:?
@@CodysCarConundrumI mean that the BMW was in terrible condition
@@ThePigeon358 Very true very true, just had my hopes up they'd somehow actually put it back together
You could definitely show more of the racing. I feel like we missed out on some good overtakes by Callum as he worked his way up in his second race. Remember that we are not scared of longer videos!
I agree.
Right is like you got the footage so a 20-30 min video is fine. Back in the day 5-10min was a decent video as this was basically a longer version of tik tok. Now days this is people main form of entertainment even over televison which we were used to watching 30 to hour long shows.
@@mech0p yeah i remember 20 minutes was a normal video length- god please take me baackkk
I am living for these Overdrive videos at the moment!

Don't worry y'all, things will get better and an internet video won't be the best thing in your life forever
5:47 How to fix a puncture: take the wheel off, turn it around and put it back on LOL
I want to see Callum in his Race!🎉🎉🎉
Link in description!
@@OVERDRIVE.studios Why is it unlisted? It's great content.
@@jekanyika tell that to the yt stats
@@jekanyika wondering the same, if it wasn't for Seb's comment I would have totally missed that video which I just finished and is simply amazing! Entertaining from start to finish with super close racing from everyone
@@agoniavr yeah, that was a spectacular vid
The way Will lifted both hands off the wheel when he crossed the line in the first race looked too much like Bowser.
I used to race at Bourne Kart Club, was loads of fun. Glad to see it getting some recognition online!
I used to race at Wisbech kart club many years ago. Great fun
@@trevor4382 they're still on the go.
Didn’t know that. Raced in 175 class
@Trevor I did as well 23yrs ago
@@Team_Extreme_Grass_Cutting must be about 25-26 years ago for me.
Cool! I was racing a Suzuki RM250, 2 stroke kart for many years in New Zealand. It was an older motor, but still had around 45Hp. A tricky electronic ignition with a flat shift gear linkage ensured it was very quick through the 'box. Our karts and family values were the same as UK and I KNOW how much fun this sport is. Glad you guys enjoyed it!
0:35 That wheelspin had me dying! 😂😂🤣🤣
man, really makes me wish i had this kind of thing near me!
Lewis Hamilton should become a lawnmower racer too
he's already driving the mercedes man
No. It's Bottas
@@xingxing2650 Bottas already did once in Austria 2020 quali.
@@shr2000 true. That's why we need him and Kimi in this. We need the big boy😂
@@xingxing2650 add Seb to the grid as well (Canada 2019)
Love the content lads! So varied and always interesting. Keep smashing it boy's
fun fact: a ford ka has 60 hp. a ford ka weights like 800 kg. Those karts are beasts
nice, around the world, dirt karts are the cheapest option to start in racing. cheers from Argentina
THE BIG BASS SOUNDTRACK!!
Calum's video is unlisted on youtube? No wonder I missed it. Thanks for the link to it in the description though!
UK gets all the best racing stuff. Trying to find something similar to this, the lawnmowers, caterham, in the US/Canada is a nightmare. If there is anything its much more expensive and requires A LOT of travel :(
Well, for something like this, all you really need are go-karts, a field, and a date.
And also one of those liability waivers for people to sign.
Athough, buying a go-kart isn't super cheap. Considering how much places with a track charge for rentals. The cost reduction for just doing it in a field would probably be significant.
If you live in a small town, setting something like this up probably wouldn't be too hard.
theres no way its easier to do this in the uk than in the north america, you could buy a couple acres somewhere for 10k and even make your own dirt track, in the uk it would be a fortune.
I've seen some folks in Canada that just rally street cars in a field. You just probably need some good Waivers and to own the land... I wonder what neighbors would think, so more remote the better
You guys should try the 24-hours of lemons you take a $500 and under car and race it. It s an American sport though you would probably have to get a car and ship it to the US or get a car in the US and build it there the only non $500 parts are the safety components like roll cages seats and other things the car itself including mechanical modifications and physical modifications again not including safety is $500 and under. It's a pretty fun sport if you have two days and a cheap car also the car can be anything except motorcycles and go-karts you can have a pickup truck a hatchback, station wagon a convertible literally you can have anyting that has four wheels
Hot Chick and drives carts - awesome! 😂
That looks like so much fun. Some more footage of the racing and Scott's last run would be better imo. It could even be a standalone upload for people who like watching wheels and engines go in circles.
you guys are rolling out so many videos it’s anazing
It was fun to race with you guys
2:35 had me chuckling. that looks like good fun and it's only just started.
I love seeing events with proper setup. There are so many things that should have medical aid on site that just skip over it. Good on the event management.
Don't think I've ever been that excited watching any race, that seemed class
Callum rocking the Kevin Harvick hat heck ya
OMG that looks fun and Coningsby is just up the road too!
Karting is great fun. Good practice for technique
I've decided that on every one of these videos where they try other types of motorsport, I will suggest they look at BriSCA F1/F2 or National 2L Saloon stock cars. I'd love to see them have a shot at them
those certainly turn it up a notch. lol I'd love to see it though
Really put a smile on my face today seeing this. Thanks guys. Hopefully I get back out for rally cross
Next idea, build your own one and compete
would you guys ever consider uploading callum's racing?
This looks epic fun on grass. Last time I raced karts competitively was about 14 years ago
That fast kart was actually wild
you guys were really good, well done! (Scott you´re amazing;) )
Next video : "flying world's cheapest jet to area 51
Great video guys look like a lot of fun! Could this be a alternative for my track days lol
Great video thanks for this. Looks amazing
this channel is for me like TopGear US. I loved the show and cast. 2 crazy guy's and one crazy pro driver. Like here. And also like here the crazy and funny challenges. love it.
except these guys are way better
That was stellar. You guys put on the best programs!
i would love to see more of this please this was grate to watch
15:37 - Oh hey there's a Caterham in the background, I wonder who was driving that!
I've had more fun kart racing than in a 600hp Porsche. The tighter the margins the more competitive, the more fun.
This looks more fun then normal gokarting. The layout could also be changed about pretty easily!
Ferrari vibes from callum
Epic! keep up the fun content
You guys should give us an Overdrive garage tour considering how many things you’ve collected for videos at this point
Great video as per usual. It’d be great to see you guys try autograss at some point
Done that. Ex Class 4 club champion 2 years in a row.
Callum in a busch light hat? With that garb if i ran into him here in Iowa I'd think he's a local!
Even more proof that you don’t have to spend mega bucks do you have a blast in a vehicle
Great video as always!
its just come out how can you say that before theres even been enough time to watch lmao
Totally into the background music.
we need this ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!!
GREAT FUN!!!!!
Subscribed 👍
I just love this channel
I’m surprised that there is a league for this but at the same time I’m not. Motorsport is crazy 😂
The pasture vanised as the video went on😂😅...
Great times Ol Sons!!
There needs to be a race of the top 10 Formula 1 racers on those 60hp carts!
My back hurts just from watching ^^. A bit of suspension would be good.
This seems like the better version of American Lawn Mower racing... God everything everywhere else is better.
that looks so unreasonably fun. i wish i had one of those
Callum does properly look like an American farmer.
Callum looks like someone from kentucky in his Busch Light hat 😂
You should do an enduro cart vid
Having horsepower is one thing, getting it on the ground is something else entirely. Just ask the 500HP street drag racers that beat 800HP cars in bumpy public roads.
Fun video again. Thanks.
Calum drove the Caterham there?
On the way back from Cadwell 😂 Callum
@@OVERDRIVE.studios Right on!
Grass karting is so fun :)
I would love to have your riced pt cruiser because you have truly made it one of a kind even though I hate pt cruisers
Seems like proper fun.
Dude this looks like a blast!
In nz they can have 650 cc and the tracks are really big
Yep they do. Had the field not been soaked we would have had a bigger track. Unfortunately field was water logged which was a shame but hey ho.
We all had fun that's the main thing.
That still feels like a lot of fun!
This is heaps of fun 👌
I really wanna see what the next size up from this would look like. Stuff with full suspension and ATV-sized wheels and tires, but close to the same footprint.
So cool to see Scott's racing experience on the field
yo beo great video bruv
so much dirt flying lol
That loks so fun!!!
That looked great fun
60 HORSEPOWER IN A CAR THE SIZE OF A BATHTUB?? now thats crazy
0:07 “these are 60 hp karts”
0:25 “I heard one of them has 60 hp”
60 HP is high but not impossible out of a 250 2 stroke, would require very agressive porting that would make it all top end however. Also depends if you count crank or wheel horsepower i suppose, before transmission losses 60hp is pretty reasonable.
damn scott is one hell of a driver !
Amazing fun 😂
The Banger racing of karting 😢 is this where all the old 2 stroke rotax engines and Tony Kart chassis’s go to die . 😂😜😵💫. No matter how cheap you think karting is just add £500 to a grand a weekend and you won’t be far off ( from experience) .
For road racing, yes. I'm 32 miles away from the field and budget £50 for a meeting all in.
This looks like pretty good fun
Sounds like a lot of fun, i wanna do that to
as an American I appreciate Callum's Kevin Harvick hat! haha!
I've wanted to try my hand at racing and for that kinda price. I already have a van so that's sorted and I've just looked up my nearest course and it's this exact one, 30 minutes from me
I think the 75. There's a lot of modern electronics in there that will fail and will be awkward to fix. Plus it's good money to help fix one of your others.
Love seeing the Kevin Harvick DGAF tour represented!
12:40 that was awesome.
I think it probably is the cheapest, it’s definitely the cheapest motorsport I’ve done by an absolute mile. I bought by kart (cbr125) for £700 I think fully built ready to race , used it for 3 seasons at all 3 clubs ,sold it for £300. And it had won plenty of races. I really don’t know why it’s not a bigger sport . Took my daughter to Wisbech last week to watch the c70s she wants ago , thought they could start at 5 tho not 7 😆.
I think this will be the newest addition to iRacing in the future. Would be awesome though wouldn't it?
funnily enough the lower class of this is cheaper than a year in Iracing
@@miguelelgueta5830 got that realistic price for a kart and all the other bits
you guys should do an actual karting race
15:20 makes such a great picture
