Taking part in a grand prix must be a scary experience as there is a lot of adrenaline-filled activity.<\/p>\n
When people think of motor racing, their minds usually turn to fast-paced cars on a well-designed circuit.<\/p>\n
However, not many individuals will think about lawnmowers and the excitement that can be generated by the machines competing.<\/p>\n
The annual British Grand Prix for Lawnmower Racing has taken place in Billingshurst, West Sussex and it saw some of the best lawnmower drivers in the UK turn up.<\/p>\n
One of the racers, Daniel Jones, told Reuters: "Personally I love it. The wetter the better, but yeah it's a skill to ride in the mud. It's … obviously a lot harder to control the machine in the wet."<\/p>\n
There are three different categories – large tractor, sit-on buggy and machines with a grass-cutting box at the front – and who knows, the future Lewis Hamilton or Jenson Button could be among those taking part!<\/p>\n
