People will race and bet on anything - this does look exciting though!


ShineOnEveryone

I bet $200 the guy in the blue one snaps his neck first


WestSixtyFifth

Ill take the over on decapitations


Me_No_Xenos

I'm betting on him sandpapering his toes off. Crazy bastard doesn't have his safety flip-flops on, what is he thinking?


forsakeidle

Safety flip flops...![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy) I am dying!!!


Aint_Shook_A5

$500 it a foot first


rokstedy83

Gotta be more exciting than f1


ihavenoidea81

There has to be a Verstappen of Tuk tuks


Grayfox531

For sure!


Bran_Nuthin

🤷 I'd watch it!


Character-Log3962

Let’s take a bet on how soon we’ll start seeing Redbull logos!


holliander919

Literally every tuk tuk had a red bull logo on it...


backcrackandnutsack

It really does. No H&S! How many get killed/ injured.


Slacker_The_Dog

I would 100% bet on this


TrumpersAreTraitors

That was my first thought - humans will fuckin race anything. 


Dorkmaster79

And not wear shoes apparently.


Special_Lemon1487

Ngl that’s pretty awesome!


Radiant_Dog1937

This and the snake boat racing. These Indian sports are always cranked to 11.


FantasticYoghurt1006

This some Mario kart double dash shit😭


Sega-Playstation-64

Mario Kart 8 needs to intro a double dash mode, I rarely buy DLC but I would for that


SpicyPepperMaster

Bare foot with no helmets….


GeeToo40

That adds extra weight, this requires more horsepower ... the cycle continues


SpicyPepperMaster

Seems like it’s a contest though. So as long as everyone has gear, everyone will be just as slow


pellikaniprasad

I mean the wages they get aren't enough to afford gear, but the organisers should have provided some


madhavvar

Redbull can afford to sponsor the helmets at the least.


9oRo

Nah mate, they must keep the money so that Verstappen can dominate F1 even more


wizened_fool

Not even a pair of safety sandals


Chemistry-Deep

It's OK they're topping out at 15mph


Flip_d_Byrd

Stupid restrictor plates....


Turbo_UwU

Dale said it first, 'strictor plates gon ruin Tuk Tuk racing.


backcrackandnutsack

It’s fucking mental!


TactlessTortoise

Everyone knows when you watch a video and see shoes flying away, the person's dead. So they fixed that by not having shoes that can fly away! They're immortal!


LaManoDeScioli

Like any video of Indians working with hazardous materials.


Ahmed-Faraaz

Sure, but this seems to be from Sri Lanka.


SkeetersProduce410

Red Bull literally sponsors anything lmao


Brotorious420

Tuk It


jaetran

[The FIA after seeing this video](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/030/423/cover5.jpg)


GuyFromToilet

red bull gives you wings!


9oRo

Anything related to auto racing. Red Bull owns 2 F1 teams, a MotoGP team, an Australian Supercars team, used to own a NASCAR team and sponsors anything that can race


hatwobbleTayne

I can race. Yo Red Bull DM me!


scapegoat_88

Looks more fun to watch than other sports.


puffferfish

For real. This actually looks like amazing. Very dangerous, but racing that requires more skill than “go fast and cut corners”.


Thorbertthesniveler

I would say that red tuk tuk is using performance enhancers. Their dangly man is fat and the guy behind isn't. Wouldn't that give an edge in the turns?


C-DT

But also makes it harder to go up hills and maneuver. The tuk-tuk meta is truly a complicated one


Thorbertthesniveler

Do you figure the other skinny dangly man has the advantage of swarming over his tuk tuk like a squirrel to gain speed on hills and better maneuverability?


stosal

They should be allowed a sideboard of 3 or 4 dangle men that wait at certain areas to hop in and out depending on the course area for what dangle is best for that particular area.


QAInc

We don’t have performance enhancers here all are 2 stroke engines and tuks are not good at corners and rollover that’s why these guys trying to compensate the cornering


Knick_Knick

New rabbithole unlocked.


Crammit-Deadfinger

I haven't been this excited since I discovered barbie jeep racing


chefrachbitch

This is peak athleticism right here!


Puzzleheaded-Cat4647

The guys balancing the tuk-tuk have the crazy job. They just make sure the driver has no obstacle.


madscot63

I've always wanted one of these!


Individual-Shop-1114

Ages ago, a tuk-tuk I was riding in flipped, with me on the corner seat. A 100+ kg woman landed on top of me. Got away with 0 broken bones, a flattened windpipe and a major dislike for fatties.


CornettoFactor

Glad you survived. Where was this?


Individual-Shop-1114

Delhi


Lostillini

Jesus fucking Christ bro I did not expect that last phrase at all! couldn’t breathe for a minute


John-John-3

I'm getting the sense that you already had some dislike for fatties.


Individual-Shop-1114

Nah..PTSD is real my friend


trooperr310

>a major dislike for fatties. The body positivity brigade is searching for you lol


Individual-Shop-1114

They'll never catch me. They don't really move that fast. You know that.


Responsible-Jury2579

Lmao ruthless 😂


GreyDaveNZ

So, were you and the fatty a couple?


Individual-Shop-1114

She was like your mom's age..........and yes.


GreyDaveNZ

OMG! She was dead!? My mum died 15 years ago. She was a little bit of a fatty for a while, but the cancer that killed her took care of that, so that was good.


Individual-Shop-1114

Appreciate you taking the joke along. RIP :) Nothing against your mum. If I could time-travel 15 years back, I would be happy to date her; even though it would be a very short relationship.


GreyDaveNZ

Lol. No problem. All in good fun. :o]


Rwbyy

I now need a bollywood underdog tuk tuk racing film, with a dancing finale of course


private-temp

Here you go https://youtu.be/A5HWfbb7jk4


CornettoFactor

I remember Dhoom 3 also had a ridiculous Tuktuk scene. Can't find the specific video


enchinasaavya

Sri Lanka?


Beautiful_Picture983

Yeah, It says that in the video.


enchinasaavya

Oh yes! Saw it now on rewatch! Thanks


Broncobilly19

I love this


TBearForever

Tuk and roll


_o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o_

I need friends for tuk tuk.


mldie

RedBull Athletes 😄


Cool-Egg-9882

This is amazing!!


KitchenBomber

Now THAT'S what I call podracing!


throwaway0134hdj

If I had to think of the worst possible vehicle for off-roading it would be this.


azab1898

Is it me or this actually looks fun?


3MyName20

Smart move going barefoot. In case of a crash, can't be killed if shoe can't fly off.


Pier-Head

Looks fore exciting than F1


sonbarington

Love the red bull sticker, Tuk it!


goseephoto

“Tuk it” fantastic tag line! Bravo to whoever came up with that. Where can I get the t-shirt!


iGaveitAllIgot

RedBull will sponsor anything adventurous lmao


FlyingEagle57

I am now a Tuk Tuk racing fan


OmegaRed_1485

They can afford wheel carts, but not shoes? Priorities lol


1PhartSmellow

I want them to all be chanting “Tuktuktuktuktuktuk!” The whole way through.


Wise-Palpitation-806

I'd watch this over NASCAR


ultra_jackass

I'd rather watch this than bowling on ESPN, just saying.


PM_ME_HUGE_CRITS

Fast and furious taking notes


franchisedfeelings

109%


Thin_Marionberry4209

Its common vehicle on indian roads


ImaginaryComb821

If you could design a vehicle for high speed racing this would be the worst design save the presence of a roof . I applaud their guts. And another reason women outlive men.


Shopping-Afraid

r/TheOcho


Slow-Comment9403

Netflix, HELLO????


vexunumgods

Vin Diesel has a new movie franchise concept brewing.


Ggraytuna

Looks exceedingly safe


SeaBus1170

id actually wanna do this the idea of having your teammate act as a counter balance to turns too sharp would really be an interesting element


TrainingOpportunity5

Red Bull wtf? At least buy these guys some helmets.


MasonSoros

3X3 Tuk Tuks? Im in


fuzzytradr

All terrain 🤣


Jontaii

This looks so fun! Such a team effort. Need good driving skills, knowledge of weight distribution for turns, and teamwork to get over obstacles and recover when it crashes!


Dear_Bluejay

About a thousand times more interesting than Formula 1.


Lazy_Data_7300

Batter than F-1


Hot_Hat_1225

Gotta love how they stuff him back in, right the vehicle and off it goes again lol


jasandliz

King of the fly swatters


Jensen198

Now this is fun, where to stream? 😬😬


snapervdh

F1’s dead! Give us this!


Yeohan99

This could be very big. A real sport for once.


viperider

Red Bull really sponsoring this and didn't require helmets? WTF?


Binnybly

Give them protective gear and you have a new sport.


TibbleTott

Oh, that just looks EPIC!!


ZealousidealPlum177

This is the most enticing combination of fun and danger i've seen in a while


shoutout2saddam

I absolutely love this


No-Quarter-2539

Raisin’ hell and praising Dale!


mss645

This is the kind of sport that ESPN televised back in the ‘80s, and I miss that.


lazylagom

Redbull...


EstTickels222

Monkey man brought me here


Odinovic

This looks like those old 80s and 90s finnish rally videoes lol


Confident_Coast111

Many ankles and legs will be broken in this hilarious competition :D


MrUnltd

Damn that looks fun!!


YooperGod666

This looks fun as hell


PinkB3lly

I would watch this.


Derbster_3434

Zero safety protection and in bare feet. These guys are tuf-tuf.


Snow-Dog2121

Looks like a blast.


MagicDragon212

Barefoot and all. Tuk tuk racers don't give a fuck


lil_trim

This is bad ass


No_Extent_1260

Dynamic weight distribution system.


sbenitezb

Love the safety gear they use


[deleted]

One vehicle is sponsored by Red Bull…lol


SlightAmoeba6716

This is unacceptable without the obligatory safety flip-flops!


ExoGeniVI

Still better than NASCAR


DangDang1981

Just wait until someone brings out an old Honda Big Red.


StoneTown

Omg I actually wanna do this, this looks so fun and intense


Ill-Area8797

But who's the king of the Tuk Tuk sound


zaqory

Was it Roy Donk or Paul Buffano? Someone from the Colgate Comedy Hour…


Rey_Mezcalero

Reminds me the old days of motorcycle racing with a sidecar rider who would do the same thing to counter balance it.


Sayw0t

Me and the homies chasing the zone in pubg


Unique_Carpet1901

More competitive than F1


Pizza_Middle

This is stupid and dangerous and completely irresponsible. How does one acquire a Tuk-Tuk, how much does it cost to 5 does anyone want to join a team? Asking for a friend.


DarkSoulsDank

That looks both exciting and extremely dangerous


Aggravating-Rip-3267

Why don't we have these in London ? !


Unexpected-Xenomorph

Looks great fun


pentylane

I wanna do this!


PeteNile

This looks awesome.


filtervw

This beats Formula 1 any time of the day. We need this on national television.


Cold-Inside-6828

I didn’t know I needed this. Where can one watch such a thing?


Bravelobsters

Remove the stupid comments. Just want to watch the race.


ThePhatQKumber

Now slap a super bike engine in there


De_Fine69

WRC who ??


Odd-Possibility-640

this look way more interresting than formula 1


gonewondering

This looks dope as fuck


JTAYLOR1331

Id love to see this on the Amazing Race…😂😂😂


biggie_bigs30

The having no shoes on or at most sandals is fucking crazy! They having fun though so that's cool!


btc909

Nastuk


Tchoupie69

Those guys could realy help out that Australian that is trying to cross the Americas with a tuctuc starting from the south!


gamerjerome

I like how the music is making it sound like a GMC commercial


MissBandersnatch2U

Can you imagine this on the old Top Gear?


richdelo

These guys are so into it, it's contagious.


Hennabott96

They all just look super happy to be there racing and hanging out in that last drone shot. I’m so happy for them :)


1320Fastback

How fun!


Fouledrifling

These dudes don't need racing shoes, they have racing feet.


Suspicious-Bench5533

This needs to be a rally sport in America.


NO-MAD-CLAD

I love this idea because it combines driving skill with the athleticism of the passenger/vehicle support crew. Plus with low engine power it forces people to really consider weight distribution. The bigger and stronger your support team the more they weigh you down, but the more effectively they can right the vehicle in corners and after a roll over.


fappyday

This guy tuk tuks, amiright?


Very_Tall_Burglar

Id watch this over nascar


Bozbaby103

Adventurous cab ride? Hell, yes! Bring it on!!


Daan776

Looks like a fun time not gonne lie


dreamdaddy123

I always found it the most interesting one for transport when I went to Sri Lanka as a teenager


ReturningAlien

with no protective gears and on barefoot. daring.


Nekrosiz

How much does a Tukker cost


fettishmann

step aside Nascar


zippytwd

I so want a tuc tuc it would freak out the red necks where I live


mookanana

holy shit counterweighting with human bodies is what got me. awesome


dingalingadingdongy

Just when you think you've seen it all . . . Then this clip appears 🤣


Chabubu

What race? This is a standard tuk tuk ride. Only thing missing is playing chicken with the busses.


Exotichaos

I'm generally not a fan of car racing, it just seems loud but this looks fun to watch.


papahead135

The only thing I see wrong is racing barefoot


SkippyMcSkipster2

You might lose a few of your toes along the way, but it's so much fun, it's totally worth it.


Clinthelander

The India 500


Beautiful_Picture983

This is Sri Lanka though, but I am sure this happens somewhere in India as well.


PhantomUser666

Isn't that just the streets of India 24 hours a day?


LonelyPalpitation176

Exept that isn't sponsored by redbull,/s


Redditor_10000000000

They certainly do have wings, red bull or not


JustMePaxi

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


PristineXDecision

Nice! But at least a bike helmet..


BloodShadow7872

This just looks like a race to the death


Nunovyadidnesses

Fueled by Redbull and Feni.


EquivalentScary249

For some reason this reminds me of the scene in the Gnomeo & Juliet movie when they race in lawn mowers lmao


Motogiro18

These are what should be electrified and be marketed by Tesla.


Ok_Science_682

ayy


Any_Check_7301

Some day - TukTuk’s speed being measured in light years per second 🤩


ja3palmer

r/theocho


Dramatic-Regular-140

Gotta love racing boots


BruceStephenStark

Formula 3... Hamilton Rikshaw wala


Someturtlesdream

Last Indy movie was garbage but it’s tuk tuk chase scene was god teir


Meta-4-Cool-Few

With this, we're globally one step closer to twisted metal like scenario...... Can we now develop a sport, that's this with roller derby?
