  This basically sums up what motoring used to be here in Sweden! Back in the days when I was doing a bit of folkracing the cars were basically sold by lottery tickets after the race - for 5000 SEK (~$500) so nobody would &quot;pay to win&quot; with a more expensive engine etc. All down to driver skills and mostly luck... ;) <br>It was a fantastic sport back in the 80&apos;s and 90&apos;s and seemingly so still today!<br>We Swedes are a friendly bunch and that&apos;s why Guy fitted in so well because he&apos;s probably one of the friendliest guys I&apos;ve ever seen!<br>Awesome episode!!! I hope Guy&apos;s back for more folkrace in the future because it&apos;s basically a sport made for him - whilst being pretty safe since the speed is limited (by design) and the cars have to be built according to strict safety rules so you&apos;ll always walk away from a crash. <br>Thank you for making this! It brought back some memories for sure :)

  Folkracing in Sweden and Finland is the real shit! It&apos;s the absolute best bare-bones racing. No additional crap, just banged up cars that you can bang up more to your heart&apos;s content.

  Don&apos;t you think the vid would&apos;ve benefited from a narrator actually sounded like this was fun and not a serious documentary from the columbian jungle? &nbsp;It&apos;s hilarious!

  How awesome is it, they bash into each other and they’re all laughs and smiles. That’s what racing is about. Having fun and having a go.

  Folkracing is the best kind of racing. Friendly people and drivers, soda, beer, hamburgers and hotdog, &nbsp;cheap beat up cars, no fuzz, no hard feelings, tearing up the track, eachother and push the machines to it&apos;s limit. Nothing to spare so just go nuts then sell or scrap the car when it over and back at it again :)
