Lawn Mower Race
Saturday 09 August 2014
Fast, fun and furious, lawn mower racing is motorsport at its most eccentric and the British Lawn Mower Racing Association`s flagship event, the world-renowned 12 Hour Race takes place once again at Five Oaks, near Billingshurst RH14 9AE.
Qualifying, which is open to the public, starts at 3.15pm, with the race beginning at 8.00pm, started by actress Julie Walters.
Teams of three drivers (male and female) compete throughout the night at speeds approaching 50 mph – and without any form of suspension other than a padded seat.
As darkness descends, the race takes on a totally different atmosphere as the pit lane becomes a sea of light and the night is punctuated by mower headlamps streaking past.
Entry £6 (children free). Trackside catering and race commentary throughout.
