Grasshead Racers

Legendary motor racing commentator Murray Walker explores the most democratic of motor sports: lawnmower racing. From 2004.

Legendary motor racing commentator Murray Walker explores the most democratic of motor sports: lawnmower racing.

On the day of the annual 12 hour lawnmower race Murray Walker samples a sport which has attracted both Stirling Moss and Oliver Reed. As the grasshead racers gun their Atcos and Quizcasts round a field in Dorset at a dizzying 35 mph, Murray is moved to pick up his commentator's microphone once more to describe this most spectacular, and democratic, of motor sports.
