Hi All,
Long time lurker but first time poster (be gentle lol)
Before I dive in with my bike related questions I wanted to enlighten some of you to the world of Pedal Car Racing. For many years I've been racing in the British Pedal Car Championship and on a ride over the weekend got talking to a chap about it who advised I should try and enlighten people on this forum.
Here are some youtube links:

Pedal Car Racing (www.pedalcarracing.info) is a fast, friendly and competitive sport generally raced in teams. Teams of 4 drivers share the car in most events (more for junior classes) with 6 allowed for the gruelling challenge of the annual 24hr race at Shenington (this year's race is in June)
Fitness, tactics and teamwork all play a big part in finishing at the sharp end of the race.
I was just curious wanted to gauge if people knew what it was, if it existed and if they wanted to find out more. I spoke to a few of the teams at the first race a few weekends ago and there are some cars available for sale and hire for specific races.
Wondering if this may spark off a discussion and some interest.....
Cheers all
Rob
