For anyone who's wondering: 1.-This is the ecuadorian tradition of "Carrera de Coches de madera" (Wooden Cars Race) that takes place in the celebrations of any city in the highlands of Ecuador (where there are a lot of hills and mountains you can go down). This one was held in the city of Alausí, but you can search and enjoy the "Coches de Madera" races from Ambato, Pimampiro, Pifo or Baños, for instance. 2.-But you might say "these cars are made of metal, you liar". Yes, because these cars belongs to the "neumatic" category. There are three categories: Traditonal (All wood body, wood wheels, no steering wheel, no bearings), Free Force (Principally made of wood but you can use a little of metal, woode wheels, steering wheel, bearings) and Neumatic (Neumatic wheels, metal body and practically anything you want except engine). 3.- The guy in the back helps as a counterweight to prevent the car from overturn in curves and pushes in flat or uphill parts of the track
@@SceneArtisan Look carefully, the land shakes about the same as the car. Both shake in unison because the car has virtually no suspension so it just follows the road. The shake is explained by vibration of the camera support in relation to the car itself. As said look again
Also, I gotta say you guys did SPECTACULAR job at this race! It brings such joy to me, at the other side of the world to see you race in such beautifull roads and mountains. Morning coffee is much better with you!
That was insane!! Looks like a lot of fun but very dangerous at the same time but these guys know what they’re doing. Love the map/gauge display on the video. Super awesome! 👏🏻
Everything is dangerous. I mean just breathing can kill you. Still, on the danger level scale. This ranks up there walking upstairs on the danger scale. And a lot of people die walking up and downstairs.
@@Qardo Haha! Yes, very true but the only difference is crashing head first into a wall or flying over the mountain cliff like a drone without a camera.
Muito muito muito legal! A velocidade dos carrinhos é altíssima, o trajeto é bem legal tbm... Os movimentos para não tombar, e aumentar a velocidade são engraçados! Legal! Aqui no Brasil antigamente brincávamos com os chamados carrinhos de rolemã, um carrinho muito mais simples que esses!
Wow Amazing, fantastic race. You guys are awesome... First time am seeing this kind of race, spectacular. I just thought of watching for 2min... But I watched till the end and again replayed. I was so engrossed in the race as if am driving, and also I was pushing myself back and forth when you people were doing and everyone was laughing at me... Great race bro.. Keep it up... Congratulations and best wishes from India.
Muito boa pilotagem, acho que tem formas de mexer um pouquinho nos carrinhos para melhorar o corte do vento e aumentar a velocidade. Começando pelo designer do capacete, aquele de ciclista de velocidade ja daria um corte melhor no vento. Amos essas corridas. 😮✌️
Olha que legal a galera da minha época que brincava de carrinho de rolimã e agora adultos fazem carros maneiros e a brincadeira continua. Show de bola muito nostálgico
Waoooo, esto es alucinante nunca en mi vida habia visto este tipo de carreras. Es increible esto ha sido mejor que estar en una montaña rusa, de hecho hasta yo tambien estaba moviendo el cuerpo para darte mas velocidad LOL! Increible experiencia . Gracias por compartir.
Good race. 16th to 5th. Showed us the importance of getting the racing line and conservation of energy. Same max speed (112) in the same spot as the last video of this race. Never trust a driver that can hit a parked car within the first 50m of a race - could have been a nightmare further down the track.
Also here in Italy my grandfather in the 30s before the second World War used to race with wooden cars. We are near the Alps and they had to race for few kilometers down the mountains. Big Surprise, few years before Covid our local administration has organized a remake with Cars very similar to the ones in this video. A friend of mine was in the winning couple. But these guys are very well trained (they practise bike downhill, go-kart, motocross). When my grandpa was young they were just 10 year old boys, with old wooden cars without training and protective wear or helmets.
Y me hicieron recordar recuerdos de mi niñez junto con amigos construyendo carros y lanzandonos por las pendientes mucha adrenalina uno que otro accidente qué terminó en risas afortunadamente...
Muy entretenido de ver y apreciar los riesgos y peligros que se enfrentan los corredores … igualmente veo que el pueblo y su gente, espera éste tipo de pruebas porque están perfectamente reunidos en las orillas del camino y de la calle. Buen video Amigos, salu2 desde Chile 🇨🇱
Saludos amigo de parte de un hincha de Mushuc Runa! Puedes buscar también la carrera de coches de Madera de Ambato, ciudad donde en 2019 ustedes nos visitaron.
Joder qué nervios! no sé cómo he llegado a este vídeo, el caso es que cuando le he visto el título he decidido verlo y me ha impresionado. Pero qué pedazo de pilotos a esas velocidades con esos autos. He bajado la cuesta igual o más nervioso que los pilotos.
Wow, that looks like a lot of fun. Can I suggest loading the wheels so they keep spinning on the flat bit. Might be slower start but once you get going nothing will stop you. And maybe a bit more aerodynamically shaped.
@@rajeeb3500 yes, like a "fly wheel", and Myuuri's suggestion isn't bad either. You'd have to make some tests so you can slow down in "hairpin" corners though, and be able to steer, as they would resist turning in corners if the front wheels are also loaded, like a gyroscope does. maybe only "load" the back wheels, and make them bigger. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel
Todos estos corredores son unos bravos de verdad tienen un corazón inmenso, yo ni en mis tiempos haría esa carreras pero estuvo muy excitante wow !!! well done guys, all of you...
This was AWESOME!!! Never saw a race like this before. If they don't have this somewhere in America, then someone needs to start one up. These guy's rock!
There use to be a race that went down the road to the Mt San Jacinto tramway in Palm Springs Ca. It was mostly bicycles that were modified as down hill racers. I don't remember anyone bringing a "car", but, the races ended back in the 80's (if I'm not mistaken) because of too many cheaters and the businesses that were serviced on the road didn't want it blocked for a full day. I rode the race twice, it was a hoot, sadly missed though. There aren't too many places that you can just go block a road and have 100% support from the people who live around the area. Who knows, maybe you can find a road that would be suitable and start something new ?!
Nice race! I might be wrong about the physics but I'm pretty sure rocking back and forth does not make you faster Would be better to lie down and lower air resistance
@@beorlingo yeah, and trout head helmets like the downhill ski racers!!😁🤪 Would be fun to build something for an open unlimited class! Aerospace grade bearings, solid tires, spun aluminum wheels, full fairings, wide and low chassis, nitrogen shocks!! Drool !!🤤

Awesome guys, good driving line and fairly good energy conservation..pilot and copilot need to streamline a little more,Nice touch to have speed /route & altitude onscreen. Big thumbs-up. Subscribed.
We were building our own carts with similar ideas and using wheel bearings instead as wheels during my early teen years( early seventies), it was very loud. Neighbors wouldn't like it, some ladies would dump water on us🙂 But we would be back in a few minutes. We would race down the hill in the street( there was very light traffic) Making the final 90 degree left hand turn was the ultimate rush, quite often we would crush 🙂👍🇹🇷
Great race, bros! As a downhiller myself I recommend you to minimize air resistance and use as much wind shadow as possible. That, and how to drive through curves, makes the difference to a clever and therefore fast downhill race driver. Forget about that rocking back and forth. Hang loose!🤙
This would be a lot of fun! The driver and passenger moving forward and backwards isn't having the effect I think they are hoping for, but it's still excellent racing!
is no one talking about how good the roads are?? cripes... that was some fantastic racing, and such beautiful scenery. What a shame we couldn't do anything like this is in Straya...
@@bigsteve6729 Go check out the windmill-geared-to-tires car and then speak of aero. Things are not always as they seem. Not talking about some mysterious force here, but physics.

Besides the guy smashing into the parked car at the beginning I have to disagree. Did you even watch the final 5 races this past season? Lol

I've never seen this kind of racing before. Pretty cool. It's not cheating to stand up and pump with your feet like skateboarding?
Hi, right now it's not, there are some areas along the route when it becomes necessary. Greetings!!!
I guess, that part of the road is going uphill. Thus, requires them to push it manually.
Going green racing, fantastic better than watching F1 racing. That speed down hill was insanely pure.
You are insane lol. The sound of a f1 alone makes it better then this! This is like a long boyscout soap box derby race lol
Hay más adrenalina en estas carreras que en la fórmula uno.👏🏻
Of course, there's definitely more adrenaline going down a hill at 80km/h than driving a car at 300km/h 😑😑

Just wondering: Does actually sprinting your body forward and backward move the car faster?
Yeah, next up on Veritasium. And then ElectroBOOM. And then Steve Mould.
Maybe it's a counterintuitive thing.
Intuitivly it shouldn't, but maybe there's some asymmetric friction that makes it work? Can't imagine the benefit being at all big though.
No. For anything gained it's negated when you pull back right? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction?
Aerodynamics is the key here
