The race is at Macau, in which you mainly race between walls . . . scary as there is no run off at all on most turns.

Looks like the top 2 spots are a Kymco Agility, but is tought to get a good look. Could not find a Buddy or Blur.

Fun !

Thanks for posting that link! Scooter racing is one of my favorite sports. Too bad scooter (and motorcycle) racing isn't televised here in the US. I remember when I was working/living in Taiwan, I got to watch all kinds of motor sports on TV including motorcycle, rally and sports sedan racing. All we get here is stock car (boring)

babblefish,
I so relate to that. It was the same in Spain. All kind of motor sports, not just oval racing. Actually we didn't even have oval racing over there, all motor sports turn left and right. I can appreciate oval racing, but I am into turning both ways.

I would think most scoots were 2T, thus the sound. I wonder what is their top speed. In a couple of the turn they seemed to go pretty fast, 60 - 70mph? It sure looks fun!

Here's another racing vid from the UK. A bit vintage, but still interesting:

And this one is interesting except the guy isn't wearing a helmet. How come my Blur can't do this? Or is it me that can't do that?
