They are based on the old Mini pick up body

[@japanesetoenglish]

My Dad races class seven autograss. He uses two Kawasaki ZX12 engines in the back of a pickup body. You can see some videos on my channel. The class eights are a lot like the 'Lightning Sprints' that you have in the states: a single 1300cc bike engine but with drive boxes instead of chain drive. The big differences are the tyres and the lack of stagger. We are restricted to sanctioned rally tyres, which have a much smaller surface area. And because we have straight-line starts, we are stuck with a more symmetrical setup. We knew very little about the short-track scene in the states until about a decade ago, and we are still trying to figure out what ideas are transferable.

One of my favourite racing series in the UK is the Scottish Legends Championship. All races at Knockhill. But it's absolutely brilliant. It's much more entertaining than any F1 race on TV

[@psilocyble3053]

Awesome, I've been hoping you'd get round to this!

[@russcattell955i]

Grass roots racing. When me & my then wife quit tarmac rallying, we formed an auto grass track team. with some help from the local service station & the girls employer (dairy deliveries) Mad Cow racing ! An all girl driver team. The girls had BBQ in the paddock & partied hard every sunday event. And they unsettled the tough boys from the scrapyard teams. The only rival immuned was the daughter of a local car breaker as she was playing the same psycological game. Fun days.

[@bobbybeattie4738]

By the end i legit thought i was reading a movie reviewf lol

[@grasschatracingvideos]

I run my own Facebook page and KZbin channel dedicated to National Autograss Racing. Happy to talk to you more about it.

[@Kanrinin01]

It's an austin mini base with pick-up mod. I saw one of them with two busa engines in the back on a drift event. it make a lot of wheelys between drifts

[@itszgrip4240]

Brisca F1 next my man, sprint car racing but slightly slower with full contact👌

[@andrewvivian6710]

Cheers for checking it out Ian It's always good to see other petrol heads that enjoy all sorts of motors and your content. The classes range from basic stock cars 4 cylinder 1000cc stripped and a cage to a full space frame twin motobike engined purpose built outfit, like in your reaction class 7 and 10. Age ranges I believe are from 14 year old in the junior sections to women and men races. Used to be a cheap sport but now some outfits are in the region of £20 k plus for factory supplied balanced engines etc. Worth a look is there crashes and spills. It was a great sport when I raced fast in the dry and sheer chaos in the wet.

[@sherisumners4509]

The juniors are from ages 10-15 from age 16 they hop into the “big boy” classes, also the women have a chance to race here! If you were interested in watching more follow the British Autograss Series on KZbin to catch up with recent events and watch upcoming events live

[@dannih3138]

My husband drives the M&M’s pick up in the video, he currently races with a different livery, and the current engine set up is an LS3 Chevy. He’s had a couple of different engine configurations though.

[@artodyfilms]

Please watch BriSCA F1 Stock Cars. Check out the 2023 world final at Northampton.

[@PhilBurns-oc2vg]

I had a go in a mate's f2 stock car, couldn't get the grin off my face for days afterwards.Awesome fun

[@robinv2758]

The class 7 cars are indeed powered by motorcycle engines, except with a little twist because they actually have 2 engines. If you pause the video at the right time you can see clearly that there's 2 separate engines in the back of those little cars

[@UncleJoeLITE]

Looks like a great fun series. Smaller race categories are much better than the huge, corporate racing scenes

[@KswapPip]

Yes!! Autograss is such a great motorsport! My partner and I race class 8 it’s so much fun!

[@scootsyrukracing8126]

That looks like a crazy modded mini

[@BurpleRX7]

Yes! Been recommending this for a while, you need to check out all the classes of autograss, they are all wild, my family race in it and it’s always amazing fun

[@joekacarevic8482]

I used to race autograss, the first clip is class 7 and second clip is class 10 these class’s are unlimited CC so the autograss guys and gals run twin bike engines or big V8’s!!!! So awesome to watch even better in person!

[@enzostabile550]

In the video about Skoda i Said that Pagani too he was rejected by Lamborghini to make the one that at the time It Will be the First Lamborghini with carbono Fiber in his body at the time

[@Thee_Snow_Wolf]

3:26, These are Class 7 autograss cars. And basically as long as it meets the safety requirements, is a production car silhouette and is 2wd, almost anything goes. I'm not sure what this car has in particualr, but it looks rear engined. I've also seen cars with LS engines, twin Hayabusa, a 2 litre Hayabusa engine and Hayabusa V8s

[@jakepearson2395]

Love the videos dude big fan from the UK. As a short oval fan you should definitely check out more of the UK oval scene it’s been around since the 50s and the pinnacle is the “brisca F1 Stockcar championship” it’s mega they look like the love child of a sprint car and a tank and it’s full contact with 700bhp v8s it’s amazing racing and as a fellow nascar fan one you will enjoy

[@superbrit3845]

100% agree, Brisca F1 is the pinnacle of British Oval Racing.

[@M.Vowles-SG-Stern]

Grew up with this racing. My grandfather, grandmother and uncle used to race in class 2 and class 4 in mk2 escorts with the Bristol South club and build the cars in the garden. My first race meeting was when I was 9 weeks old. And when I was 11 years old I started racing in junior class 1 with a mini

[@spiekertiens5984]

Really like your vids, keep em comming! In Holland/Belgium we have combineraces. These are modified combine harvesters. It's a real competition and fun to watch.

[@aj_on_drums1713]

My brother races Class 3! I've always loved going as a kid, and watching videos now. There are different Leagues based on where you're based (example: West Midlands, South Wales, Irish, Scottish, East England etc) and there are clubs (Teifi, Scunthorpe, Ludlow, Camarthen etc) within those leagues. Class 7s and Class 5s are mainly composed of mini pick-ups, but you do get wide-body minis and of course your super-saloons. There's women races and juniors too made up of ages 10-15! Women can race with men and there are some high class drivers. Class 8, 9 and 10 are made up of what we call "specials" that follow open-wheeled cars that mainly use motorbike engines.

[@philiprowney]

It has a Wiki page Ian! "Class 7 Class 7 is exclusively designated for rear-wheel-drive vehicles. The engine capacities in this class are unrestricted, but they must exceed 1421 cc, unless a motorcycle engine is used, in which case a 1000 cc engine is permissible. A considerable number of class 7 cars utilize motorcycle engines and in such cases, two engines may be employed to propel the vehicle. The engines used in these cars often come at a substantial cost, and examples include Cosworth turbo-engines, large-block American V8 engines, and various highly tuned V6 engines."

[@georgeratcliffe7752]

You talked about local car racing: Near me in the UK, there is a classic car hill climb event that happens yearly where people race everything from race cars to custom cars to vintage cars, road worthy cars and everything in between! (Loads of Minis, Austin 7s, MGBs, Caterhams, Ginettas etc) (also, I mean Tarmac hill climb, not mud)

[@bassheadfanatik]

Just found this sport today and im hooked.

[@10bluetoez]

They are old school Mini Ickup trucks running twin motorcycle engines that race around a dirt track simular to Speedway track doing just 4 laps 🏁

[@clareperkinsST17]

Class 1-10 mens and ladies, stockhatch, f600, junior Saloons (class 1), junior Specials.

[@Ingleborough111]

Many years ago a class 7 was clocked at 80mph at the end of the straight.

[@tomroberts4837]

Any engine single or twin any power Space frame chassis with a mini pick up shell on them sc61 now runs a crate La motor in the rear is his. Dirt ovals or shale

[@clareperkinsST17]

Modified mini pickups. But autograss has different classes so class 1 has standard cars built to race.

[@donfinch862]

You have sprintcars in the US, pretty full on. They come here to Australia to compete with us sometimes. Like F1 on dirt

[@NocnaGlizda]

This reminds me of a very popular sport in Poland, motorcycle speedway. We even have a lot of gold medals! Sports in which you turn one way. The US has NASCAR, Europe has speedway, Australia has this!

[@chrisbrett3676]

This is in the uk not Australia was first called jalopy racing back in the 50s 60s and I think early 70s

[@PropperNaughtyGeezer]

Stoppelacker-Rennen (stubble farming race) - They also exist here in Germany. In autumn, when the fields are mowed. The teams get old cars that have almost had their life behind them, then everything comes out: interior, windows, carpet, everything. Then some reinforcements are welded in, H-belts and then they drive various parkours until the car is shot. The scrap recyclers' front loaders and containers are already there and they take everything away.

[@artodyfilms]

Different sport.

[@andrewlemmon8350]

the first car you was watch the mini pick of andy holtby has used 2 different v8 engines from the v8 Hayabusa engine and currently now using a ls3 in his mini pick up the cars weight about 400 to 500kg full spaceframe chassis the class 7 is a unlimited class so any engine can be used same for the class 10s its unlimited the main power plant in the class 7 and 10 are tuned twin Hayabusa engines at some venues you can see them doing about 60 to 70mph into the corner on the back wheels depending on track conditions

[@shaneb4612]

In Australia not like this, that I know about anyway. The closest would be dirt speedway racing or flat track motorcycle racing. My fav would be the speedway motorcycle sidecar racing. Those people are mad. It's so fun to watch.

[@Ingleborough111]

There are roughly 50 clubs in the UK and Ireland. It is or was the biggest participant motor sport in the country.

[@admanistansheridan1826]

Yeah, check out the dirt track sprintcars, you'll luv em

[@alexanderrichards6236]

This is my new obsession.

[@adeptusmechanicus7572]

The class 7 looks like a small version of the super dirtcars mixed with a NASCAR truck. The class 10 are almost similar to the buggy's you see in dirt racing.

[@davelawday6609]

Just to add Andy holtby the class seven winner runs a Chevy LS3 engine in the back..

[@jann6995]

Twin hayabusa engined minis, the pick up version😀

[@irishflink7324]

You should check out Ice Racing with motorcykels it's like Speedway but on Ice

[@TheTimbo147]

The m and m winner Andy holtby has a chevy lc3 v8 modified in the back

[@aj_on_drums1713]

Andy Holtby is a class driver, definitely one of my favourites (minus my brother LUD9 of course) and he definitely has some competition with Cameron Mills this year

[@lewisautograsse1yt757]

Class 7 and 10 are the same power outputs most people use twin huyabusa motorbike engines and a lot more people are starting to use the LS3 6.2 Chevy engines

[@reececandy5867]

Look up the dirt devils Autograss videos, it’s basically Autograss but crash compilations pretty good watch

[@tomroberts4837]

Keep an eye out on the British autograss series KZbin for the live streams

[@jasonross2131]

Welcome to the uks best motorsport Class 7 mini pick ups mostly with big engines in the back twin Hayabusa or the mighty LS Chevy I built & raced for many years including a twin motorcycle engine 2002 Toyota Yaris

[@edwardharris9810]

There amazing the Autograss cars loads of powerr.light weight. Another UK series you really should check out BRISCA F1 Stock Car racing its an oval series with V8 powered cars that race on both tarmac and dirt track, there also full contact, would ok e to see what you think.

[@leewakefield3924]
