This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Does anyone know if there’s a place I can watch this? I’ve done some cursory searches before but didn’t find any full races.

Doesn't really answer your curiosity, but ChrisFix on youtube has a $500 BMW for one of these races. He's done a bunch of contra-deals and donations for the vehicle but is still able to prove he's at the budget mark requirements. His showcase is working on and building the car for these races more than racing in them.
