Apr 24 2012

Angmering Raceway in West Sussex was home to various formula of banger racing this Sunday for their third meeting of the Summer Championships. Racing included Nudge & Spin, CB (Crazy Bastard) Saloons, Hot Rods, Street Stocks, and the group I was there to see… the grand finale… demolition derby… Caravan Chase! It’s pretty straight forward in theory, 2 teams, each with one caravan and 2 back-up cars which are there to protect their own, and to smash up the opposing team’s caravan to smithereens.

Clapham Common had to be the safest place on the planet this Sunday, as 436 superheroes of every conceivable description descended on the park for the 1st ever London Heroes Run.

About this blog

The vast majority of posts in this blog are about quirky & eccentric competitions & festivals. I started it in 2006 in France with a competition I’ll never forget. Where contestants battle it out to become the World Champion Pig Squeeler, or ‘Cri du Cochon’. I had little knowledge back then of quite how far my pursuit of these kind of events would lead me. I’ve travelled all over Britain (and occasionally further afield) to capture our curiosities and quirks. There’s nothing uniquely eccentric about the British, you’ll find people all over the world up to all sorts of weird and wonderful activities, but we do have a remarkable capacity to embrace the madness. ‘A Brit Different’ is the book that was born from it, my labour of love! So what next? There’s always something interesting going on, so watch this space, only time will tell!
