According to pictures taken around that time in countries all over the world like Australia, New Zealand, the USA and some parts of Europe, this unique sport took place with people driving chariots with motorcycles instead of horses like they used to in the Roman Era.
You can read the rest of the article by going HERE. I wonder if there is You Tube footage of these crazy bastards.




Some maniac actually made one.
This doesn't look remotely safe.
