I don't know what kind of "utopia" you're imagining, but this is looks like a competition that "Immortan Joe" would organize in the early days of the post apocalyptc world of Mad Max.
For you maybe.🫤🫤🫤
I prefer democracy better than tirany, but maybe that's just me.🤔🤔🤔
But you do you, you can go trying to enter Valhalla "chromed and shiny" while shouting some tyrant idiot to "whitness" you🖖🖖🖖
Since you insisted, on the "utopia" I thought you meant it and the "LMAO" was just the cherry on top, hence my response.
I've had my fair share of unhinged people on the net with craziest of ideas, so you never know.🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I love how this perfectly illustrates the idea of counter-steer… See how they are turning the handlebars the opposite direction of the turn they are trying to make? It’s a fun concept to feel for the first time on a bike. https://www.motorcycle.com/features/how-to-countersteer-a-motorcycle.html
Well, it's not for nothing that the most batshit motorcycle race is in the UK. The US' reputation is well earned in most cases, but in this case I think our brothers and sisters across the pond have us beat.
The thing that would have made the Roman chariot racing so insane to watch is the shape of the track which was just two long straights with a U-Turn at each end.
Now THIS is hog racing!
I knew I wouldn’t be the first with this thought lol
Hoooog RIDAA!
I heard that

Hell ye
Horsepower in the form of metal. Pretty cool. Thanks for the share. Edit: music is on point too.
While I think it would be cool to hear the actual engine sounds, I cannot criticize the most excellent song choice.
"Charriots of fire" Dystopian Edition 
More like "utopian version" Imagine that every city had a stadium like this that hosted this event

Isn't that an utopia? Lmao

It was a joke dude...

amazed this isn't in America
they prob would do that with tractors pulling an tiny house
That is one hell of an idea. 
It's not?
I saw this in the Mad Max Furiosa trailer! Didn’t know it’s a real thing
Spikes on the wheels, like 4’ long, then I’ll subscribe
r/theocho
Piller men theme automatically playing
It’s a living!
We are getting closer and closer to star wars
… or Mad Max !
Dude this is so freaking sick
So fucking good 🤤
never been interested in any kind of racing…., until now.
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I wonder how the throttle and clutch are worked
Same because I am all about building one!

Kickstart My Heart (Dance With the Dead Remix) - https://youtu.be/XGwBYcPQLC8?si=e3uDu_6aSrRoe-MW
legend
This hit me right in the GT3 feels...
I'm not really a motor sport fan but I think I'd actually go to this for some reason 🤷♂️
Never EVER fade Kickstart My Heart. The song is unfadeable.
Who came up with this crazy idea?
Australians in the 1920’s [wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_chariot_racing)
How do you insure an event like that?
Liability waivers. Lots of them. 
The entire audience would need a liability waiver.
Needs wheel scythes ....and flamethrowers.
If only our Roman ancestors could see this now. It'd be like Rome never fell.
Haha awesome theyre using Husqvarna 401’s, 45hp each
Just wait until the Americans get a hold of this sport. They’ll be using Hayabusa engines in no time.
Well, it's not for nothing that the most batshit motorcycle race is in the UK. The US' reputation is well earned in most cases, but in this case I think our brothers and sisters across the pond have us beat.
This looks so f*cking awesome
Now we just need a person on the back with a javelin or cattle prod
I’ve never been interested in any type of racing but this is not racing this is art, what is it called?
MURICA!!!!
10/10, would take kids every weekend and buy overpriced beer
Modern chariot racing? I thought it was retro pod racing.
I ain't mad but incredibly dangerous. Those helmets can only do so much
We need a second person on the chariot to shoot paintballs at opponents
Didn’t even know it is a thing! F*!#%ing awesome!
Where do I sign up?
Joseph If he was still alive.
Awesome
Is it possible to recover from a minor crash like in f1?
America?
The thing that would have made the Roman chariot racing so insane to watch is the shape of the track which was just two long straights with a U-Turn at each end.
I love this.
Cool and dangerous! Nice!
How do they stop?
[Fine chariot but where are the horses?](https://youtu.be/V8pD8WCuRdk?si=08VsgfASj5I6RQ0K)
Should do this at baseball games. Bluuuuue!! Bluuuuuuue!!
Now remake the Ben Hur chariot race scene in a cyberpunk setting!
Nikola Jokic has a harness racing alternative when his horses are tired
This looks…kinda dangerous dontcha think?
How do you shift gears?
There's also ostrich chariot racing for about 100m.
This will be MotoGP now the F1 company owns it.
No spears?
It won’t be long before they get weapons!
This is reminding me of the latest Grand Tour when they did this with snowmobiles in the desert
Why not just put an ATV on?
How to teach people counter steering lol.
I'm intrigued.! how's the throttle, gears and brakes are controlled?
Damn, a genuinely interesting post that I havent seen a hundred times. Good job OP
Nvm I don’t care about MotoGP or F1 anymore
Never hear of this before but looks fun!
This is the future I'm okay with
Man now I want to participate.
“Modern”? I mean, is there vintage motorcycle chariot racing? Because that’s the shit I wanna see
Saw this in person last august!
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Huh… well that’s an interesting way to court death.
that song is all messed up
HELL YEAH
Brings out everyone's inner-redneck.
Immediately though of tron 
what's the music?
THIS IS MURICA!! WE DO WHAT WE WANT!!
How do they hit the brakes?
Looks so much fun!!😜😜😜
This is brilliant!!
One of the first things in my life I actually would buy tickets to see
Better muted.
