British Lawnmower Racing
"You may think you want to come to England to attend Ascot, or Wimbledon, or Royal Henley-on-Thames, but you’ll never find anything quite like the thrill of watching screaming, bucking and almost-out-of-control lawnmowers racing through the night at the annual 12 hour race at Wisborough Green."

I think that just proves that the Brits have rednecks too.
What are rednecks called over there, anyway?
Well, I suppose the nearest thing would be a Chav. But that's more like the US "trailer trash". Not sure if we have a redneck equivalent.
Wiki has an article on Chavs, and their "bling".
http://www.chavscum.co.uk/ is a site dedicated to making fun of chavs.
Chav's seem closer to wiggers than to rednecks. You can also be trailer trash without being a wigger, I'd say a Chav is the euro wigger.
Yeah, but BLMRA (pronounced blem-ruh) doesn't exactly have the same ring as NASCAR.
"Chav's seem closer to wiggers than to rednecks. You can also be trailer trash without being a wigger, I'd say a Chav is the euro wigger."
No, chavs are a very special breed of wigger.
The important thing, is that a chav is nowhere near a redneck.
