If you think they look like mini F1 cars, that’s because they do. Imagine ripping around in a go-kart with a 250cc 2-stroke and loads of aero at 160 mph. You’ve gotta be some kind of crazy asshole to even think about racing one. They’re so small and agile that they have a nuts amount of passing each race. They can also pull over 2 g’s in a corner.

Here’s a POV:

I'd read that this was a thing, but never saw any racing with them. Interesting.

Oh yeah. No real crash protection besides your helmet. If you manage to flip one, you’re probably fucked. Most of the crashes I saw on youtube were just big spinouts from corners into runoff zones but still, big yikes.
