Bobby-Car Racing
In the 1990s another use of Bobby-Cars emerged: Professional competitive driving. The plastic body is strong enough to carry adults. The steering element and the axles are strengthened to handle high speeds (approximately 60 km/h). Competitions are held on closed roads with steep downward gradients.
The "official" German speed record of a Bobby-Cars was set on 28 April 2003 by Marco Fischer from the Bobby Car Club Coburg, who achieved a speed of 108.2 km/h.

Famous quotes containing the word racing:
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
