Jeroen MulderLadies and gentlemen: I give you proper #GenX fun. We did not know fear.
1979. We loved it.
(These are DAFs with a Variomatic gearbox that developed the same speed backwards as forward. But good news: Red Bull Racing is picking this up again)

Anthony, of course@jeroen1511 one of my uncles drove a DAF Daffodil many years ago. My dad (who drove Spitfires) still ribs him for it to this day
Sander@jeroen1511 me gras!!
John Waters@jeroen1511 not aware of genx’ers with a driver’s license in 1979…but perhaps that was part of the fun!
@Waters_john yep. This was on closed circuit. No license required.
quello che perde i pezzi@jeroen1511 the caravan race is noteworthy, looks pretty much like "let's pile up some ramndom plastic and metal"
@lowlevel yep, pretty much the concept.
Fubaroque@jeroen1511 Als ik dat nu zie vraag ik me toch serieus af hoeveel van de “racers” even langs het ziekenhuis moesten bij een gemiddelde uitzending. 🤔
Bill Lloyd@jeroen1511 @bruienne Caravan race - slalom. 😂
Pepijn Bruienne@wklj @jeroen1511 Oh this was such a HUGE part of my childhood back in the day, you have no idea! We literally counted down the days for when the next edition would be on TV. Reverse racing, caravan races, launching homebuilt contraptions off a ramp into some body of water... just :chefkiss: top-tier 70s kid memories.
