Car racing is an expensive sports, everybody knows that. You need to spend thousands dollars after each round to repair and tune up your racing car. Racing teams rely on rich supporters.
But people in smaller Russian cities can’t afford this, does it mean they are deprived of the possibility to race? These guys from Yekaterinburg, Russia make their races in their own way, on a small playground in the middle of the neighborhood, surrounded by living blocks.
Another strange fact about this race that according to the photos most of the viewers are military and/or policemen.

OLD TECHNOLOGY
RUSSIA NEEDS NASCAR
DOES RUSSIA HAVE RACING?
It’s a crash derby, they have them in the states and in europe, the point is to use cheap cars so that repairs are less expensive. I don’t like the sport, but to clear things up it’s not just russians that do this.
Yep.
To add to what Alex said: It is so called “survival Racing”…
This is not only a Russian phenomenon. In Canada this is called Demolition Derby. You can buy a running car for $100 and participate or kill your own if you were going to get rid of it anyways.
Yeah, we have derbies like this in the statesm too
its popular in Australia too 🙂
This could be found in Sweden too. It’s called folkrace or the people’s race.
some people just like to say bad things about a country…without thinking…

Smithy I think your effort is wasted. XD
Russia first in space, first woman in space, but what does that give you as Russian citizen??? Right NOTHING!!! I`m Russian living in America and I enjoy living here, Americans are nice people trying to do nice things not just for themselves only but to the whole world and every Russian think about him/herself only. Most selfish people on the planet.
