Ppl don't realize you can draft at pretty low speeds with the correct shape of the body of the race vehicle. I have drafted on mini cup cars which is half scale Nascar's literally on huge half mile asphalt oval tracks and have drafted on dirt oval track go karts and full sized asphalt race ars as well drafting and aero dynamics is a factor in alot of forms of racing noatte the speeds
The Ecuadorians race somewhat similar Caretta's. No suspension and slightly larger tires. Speeds up to 75 + and usually the whole bunch leaves at once. Search "Coches de Madera"
That’s awesome. That people somewhere in this world still race like that. I haven’t seen this kind of racing anywhere in our area anymore and it used to be big back in the 70s.
I ran a Soap Box Derby in 1963....this brought back great memories!! Congratulations from Atlanta on a great race, great drafting by both cars and a handshake at the end!!!!!!!! just AWESOME!!!!!!!!
A full size Pinewood Derby! In theory, if each car is perfect and driven perfectly, they should finish at exactly the same time. Incredibly small differences in engineering and driving must make the difference. Looks like fun.
That's not correct since both cars cannot occupy the same space therefore competition for the best line must be a factor as well as timing of the slipstream moves and the effect of the uneven road surface on each car.
@@TWW-zk9gw That's why I said if the cars are driven perfectly, which in the real world is not likely to happen. And in a perfect world, the track would not favor either side, which again is unlikely. The keys to success appear to be minimize friction and best use the available acceleration, which, in the theory, should be exactly the same for each car.
Can you imagine this down the back side of Big Bear down into Palm Springs. You could hit unbelievable speeds and some of the corners will surely get your attention. This is awesome!
That was exceptionally close! Loved it.. Couldn't hurt to learn drafting in those open wheel "pinewood derby" carts.... I'd actually like to know the specs and rules.. Big difference in wheel size and body profile... Either way... I've never seen this before... Thanks!
I was waiting for one of them to lose control and hit one of them big cactus. Then I realized that I put it on 2x speed. Although that was still not too much faster.
What a quiet and great race. Nobody could complain about this type of racing... Because it has Zero emissions..but l suspect that Europe would find something to say and produce a law outlawing it .... It's polluting..the atmosphere..😅😅 Maybe new FIA laws on F1 cars too🤔😅😅
very equal cars, the one in the rear could draft,very cool , I did soap box derby in the 60’s so i wish i could get in on this but i think it is not in usa👍
Used to have similar races in Bisbee, AZ years ago. Entrants would come from all over North America to achieve the fastest time past Castle Rock and right down Main St.! Good times!
As a person who has raced just about ever asphalt and dirt oval race car there is for some reason this looks like it would be a blast and i would love the challenge of this cause you jave nk motor to tely on if you make a mistake its detrimental to the rrst pf ypur race
Ah! El susto que se llevó mi compa cuando vió la GoPro apuntando para arriba @6:35: "No! No mames, se movió!" Ya pensaba que no había grabado nada bueno.
The race was great however in my opinion the steering is too fast or two twitchy every time you twitch you are actually scrubbing speed slowing you down slow down that steering you should go faster through the corners and of course if and when you get behind them stay behind him stay in his draft to then slingshot pass hopefully right before the finish line....... Great race I enjoyed watching it cheers from California USA 😁👍👍👍
Agree, twitchy steering reduces speed, albeit a very, very small amount. However in this race - what speed? A blind, asthmatic snail, carrying a heavy bag of shopping could have hopped down that road quicker than those karts.
To me it looks like the small steering input is reaction to the tiny wheels twitching on the surface rather than twitching cart because of the steering input. The loss of speed whatever causing the slight sideways movement must be minutely small tho.
They don't seem to have great (or any?) brakes judging by how they stop after the finish line so staying behind for a longer period may not be possible.
The front end on the non-camera car is probably either toed out or doesn't have enough caster - rolling the caster back a few degrees will make that twitchiness will go away. Too much caster and when turning you'll be mechanically over loading the rear wheel opposite of the direction of the turn and bind up the chassis, scrubbing speed. An 1/8" of toe-in will help stabilize the steering input. Is there any info online about this race such as rules.? I'd be interested in knowing what's allowed and what isn't.
It does make a difference when you take aerodynamic drag into account. But if they're smart, they adjust all the cars with drivers and ballast to weigh the same.
Good race and the guy on the left almost pulled it out. Maybe next year his slip shot is right behind AND NEXT to the guy as he gets the extra inch. Also next time shave that styrofoam sticking up on the right. Airstream wise it might have been that extra inch. I really enjoyed watching this gravity race... I'm not even sure why but it was actually exciting. Next year maybe they'll have a drone following right behind videotaping in 360 circles around has it travels down the hill. Lol
The slipstream was insanely powerful
Right? He zoomed past him so fast 😂
I was thinking the same thing. As soon as one of the cars drafted the other they got a boost. Very cool.
Right, same way geese fly, but when you work the breaking spot, it will wiggle it, then it's over, and you gotta swallow that fear of crashing!

LOL theyre unpowered. aka cant be powerfull... wait..in fact they rely on friction and weight, so its easy to win
I’m watching this instead of the F1 finale and I’m confident with that decision.
A year late, but I'm skipping the current F1 for this as well.
Exactly my thoughts
More inspiring than Monaco 24
It's an actual race, not an absurdly expensive procession.
No commentary and no stupid music. Thank you.
Would be good with ozzyman commenting 😂
Amen! 😂
How much you wanna bet that their right foot was pushing hard against the floor ! 😄
Lol 😆 for Real
Adding more gravitational force 😆
and their thumb trying to push the nitro button they don't have. lol
Would be very interesting with 5 or 6 of them racing at the same time
Search for corrida de rolimã, here in Brazil this is really common, up to 20 drivers on one race

Slipstream mayhem
It's funny how slow they are but how intense they are to drive at the same time
i doubt it feels very slow when you are inside them...
@@hjuugoo4416 yeah, like driving slow cars fast
Like rental karts. At least if you've never experienced proper racing karts.
(I imagine. Never driven a racing kart).
Crowding might be an issue.
@@joewoodchuck3824 definitely lmao
One guy spins and the whole race over
Great race and wonderful display of sportsmanship afterwards. Cub cars grown up version
What an excellent race! Applause from South Carolina USA!
M 58 .............you get hooked on these down hill racers ????
@@dannycalley7777 oh yeah. It looks like a blast.
Photo finish for sure. Nice clean race.
so close
That’s awesome. That people somewhere in this world still race like that. I haven’t seen this kind of racing anywhere in our area anymore and it used to be big back in the 70s.
It was all down hill, from the very beginning 😁
I ran a Soap Box Derby in 1963....this brought back great memories!! Congratulations from Atlanta on a great race, great drafting by both cars and a handshake at the end!!!!!!!! just AWESOME!!!!!!!!
At these speeds the slightest steering adjustment will slow you down enough to count for milliseconds at the finish.
that was a fun watch! i think i got more excited over lead changes then any Indy race ive ever seen
Do any of these competitors realize the GRAVITY of the situation?
Do we really have to go DOWN that road?
I'm surprised this hasn't gathered more MOMENTUM.
Thankfully no one has stepped up to put a stop to this as it RACES rapidly down.
That's heavy doc
Your on a roll
Always love seeing good sportsmanship
The starter needs better reaction time. It was too long between them actually starting and he waving the flag 😁
...............
It looked more like the starter was swatting flies than trying to start a race.

Science beef about to breakout….🍿🍿🍿🍿. 🃏👍🏁🎭🍿🍿🍿
@@ChangeIsEverywhere Heh heh!
From what I seen i would stick behind the other guy until close to the end and use the draft to win. Oh, that is what the guy did, haha!
👍 I love the sportsmanship at the end of the race.
Looks like a lot of fun.
Yeah.. but it's a slippery slope
Can you imagine this down the back side of Big Bear down into Palm Springs. You could hit unbelievable speeds and some of the corners will surely get your attention. This is awesome!
Wow that was awesome. Great race by both drivers!!!
Absolutely awesome great racing hope the sport get more popular 👍😊
Love it. You have to be a smart driver to achieve the best performance here. Even smarter than engine powered car drivers.

And when you can work that drag out, then in and out, you'll slow them down, nerves too!
Boy...that guy with the green flag had *such* a crucial role to play!
he was new at his job you got to "start" somewhere
Sería interesante saber qué velocidad alcanzaron.
Supongo que a mas de 50 no andan pienso yo
En qué lugar será??
@@oscarperez-qq3cp nu se pero se ve lindo igual le faltaria mas pronunciadas las bajadas esas al lugar seria epico mas velocidad
Mucho tread on tires, I was waiting for an off road section to the race. Skinny slicks would increase speed, still a cool race👍
No doubt about it .. the camera-car jumped the start.
And poetical lost by a nose so it didn’t matter….
Great race though…. 👍🏻🍻😎
My guess is that Cuu won.
I love how you can hear the wind noise change when getting into the draft of the other car
These races teach you how to win when you are not the faster and when you are not alone in a race, when they are not chrono competitions
I was half expecting him to whip out a book and start reading 😅
Where did this take place? Great video, thank you!!
This looks like so much fun. Watch both drivers daft each other was really cool.
This is so cool 😎 Who would have thought drafting worked at such slow speeds!
What was the noise coming from the video car? Sounds like something was loose. Great competition!
How long is the course and what speeds are we looking at?
I dont exactly the length but usually its around 5km AND speeds are somewhere around 100-110 km/hr
Great race! Where was this run?
Saltillo Mexico
Luv the pool floatie driver protection!

they would complain about the rubber tires.
@@sprolyborn2554....yup not to EU standards 😂😂😂
Never seen this before...EXCELLENT!!! Got to watch some more!! Thanks from the UK.
Where was this race held?
Its like when I put GT7 on manual for my grandson and he crawls around in first gear. Quite proud of himself.
Never has lying down on the job been more appreciated than here.
Riveting, I’d put it right between watching paint dry and laying on the beach! 😂
Very funny comment🎉
Laying on the beach is way too dangerous.
That's harsh. At those speeds, if anything went wrong someone could easily bruise an elbow!
Enthralling to watch and amazing how after all that it was such a close finish. SUPER.
En qué lugar es la carrera?
Exciting race , enjoyed that.
Great race~! A lot of room for improvement in the aerodynamics department, wheels and hubs too. Now I want to try it!
@@rinkydinkfretboard8737Unless the rules say otherwise
Too much fun. We race skate carts down mountain roads in WV in the 60’s
Nice to watch this but two questions - who won? And what were their top speeds - I'm guessing 70mph but don't know...
One of the strangest ways to sneak drugs into the U.S.
That looks like fun!
*Damn I didn’t know they made Angry Birds GO into a sport*
very equal cars, the one in the rear could draft,very cool , I did soap box derby in the 60’s so i wish i could get in on this but i think it is not in usa👍
what are those gloves for?
Do they use the Flintstone braking system?
Where did this take place? Because I see Joshua Trees, so it can't be too far from where I live. 😁
where is this?
Is this Arizona or Northern Mexico. Very similar terrain.
México
Used to have similar races in Bisbee, AZ years ago. Entrants would come from all over North America to achieve the fastest time past Castle Rock and right down Main St.! Good times!
Where I live on a quite steep hill , I could get one these to go down to sea in about 5 minutes.
As a person who has raced just about ever asphalt and dirt oval race car there is for some reason this looks like it would be a blast and i would love the challenge of this cause you jave nk motor to tely on if you make a mistake its detrimental to the rrst pf ypur race
Great sportsmanship.
🎇Felicitacions!🎇
Where was this race at? I see Joshua trees and hear Spanish. I am guessing northern Mexico?
Man that was exciting! Now, to go watch paint dry.
Ah! El susto que se llevó mi compa cuando vió la GoPro apuntando para arriba @6:35: "No! No mames, se movió!" Ya pensaba que no había grabado nada bueno.
Such a close finish!
Anyone know where this is?

Excellent finish! Great 🏁

Where can you get rules for running these type carts? It would be fun to have competition for older scouts and of course adults.
What was the time difference
between you 2?
Looks like good wholesome fun. Whole ride I’m thinking about how to make them faster. It’s all in the aero and tires.
If only the world worked like this; to the victor belongs the duty.
How fast were they going?
Ok now thats a race!
Orale weis que chingones no manchen 👌😱👍🇲🇽🌽
Would be nice to know just how fast they were going at times
Had a problem at the start and it was all down hill from there!
Grew up in the coastal plains but I do remember my dad pushing me around in a cart.
I love the pov, really makes the video feel immersive
Dónde es? Se ve chingón!
the only race where the winner eats 5 big mac's before competing.wins the race & is sick the rest of the day.

Weight doesn't affect gravitational acceleration
It does make a difference when you take aerodynamic drag into account. But if they're smart, they adjust all the cars with drivers and ballast to weigh the same.
Weight affects the rolling resistance, which just about matches drag at the speed they're going
This video cured my insomnia
Good race and the guy on the left almost pulled it out. Maybe next year his slip shot is right behind AND NEXT to the guy as he gets the extra inch.
Also next time shave that styrofoam sticking up on the right. Airstream wise it might have been that extra inch. I really enjoyed watching this gravity race...

I don't cate what type of racing it is, THAT was a close finish! 😎 Well done.
Wow...by a wheel length. What a good race. That looks so fun. :)
what speed is reached?
This Norwegian invention is so fun - please enjoy!
Aww this is a good stuff... Amazing race! :D
My God, this looks like a blast!!
How many G's that thing have?
Do a Split screen with the other driver's camera, Mariokart style!!
Who won. Camera guy or the other one? And question: Are there no brakes?
