Top alternative racing events
With all of the excitement over the Formula One race in Austin, it seems like a good idea to have a look around to see what alternative racing events are out there. And no matter how unusual the event is, the concept is the same – the first person to cross the finish line wins.
Endurance challenges
Whilst many of us are somewhat resistant to the idea of a long-distance car journey, some drivers have tried to turn it into a sport. Most of us will be familiar with the French endurance race Le Mans, that tests the ability of drivers and engineers to be able to race around the circuit for a continuous 24 hours.
However, for those who like something a little more chaotic, then the parody race Le Mons has been providing hilarious entertainment across America for the past ten years. By encouraging drivers to take their most decrepit vehicle costing under $500 on the 24-hour circuit, the race organisers have ensured a good degree of unpredictability in this highly amusing event.
Alternative video games
Racing games are now seriously big business. The popular games series of Gran Turismo and The Need For Speed hav provided many hours of video game entertainment for race enthusiasts thanks to to their action-packed simulations of real driving challenges.
However, some video games prefer an alternative approach. Fans of driving around the wide open spaces of southern USA will get to recreate all of the thrills of a particularly banal journey thanks to the Desert Bus game that simulated an eight hour drive from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas in Nevada.
And whilst Street Cleaning Simulator is exactly as much fun as it sounds, any racing fan with a thirst for a little adrenaline would be much better served by a visit to the Betway site that features the latest coverage of all the best motor sports, and provides the perfect reminder for why we enjoy racing in the first place.

For those who like the concept of multi-tasking, then we can highly recommend the sport of lawn mower racing. Not only will it provide you with the perfect opportunity to get one up on your neighbor with the slightly-too-perfect lawn, but it will also introduce you to other fans of immaculately-trimmed grass thanks to the US Lawn Mower Racing Association.
And anyone looking to revisit their childhood years in the racing environment, would be well-served by the concept of school bus racing. Just remember to make sure that there aren’t any real children in your vehicle.
