National pedal-car championships 2012
This competition was held in N D de Cenilly in 2012 attracting entries in a wide range of categories. The race covered a 3 km course through the streets and back lanes: part of the village was closed to through traffic. Each car had an allocated "pit", a support team and up to four drivers. Before the race, each team performed a short display (based on the theme of their car) judged by on-lookers on 10 criteria, including the car. As well as a prize for this, there was an élite prize for the car which completed the most laps in two hours. Entries for the latter came from all over France and the cars reached amazing speeds: the race was won by "Spiderman".
Here is a slide-show of cars before the race and a short video of the start. Who do think won?
