When it comes to speed and precision, Formula 1 is in a league of its own. Every turn, every overtake, and every lap keeps the fans on the edge of their seats. But sometimes, the same thrill can be found in unexpected places rather than professional tracks.
Recently, one such unusual race has surfaced online that has caught everyone’s attention. It doesn’t feature any luxury cars or motorcycles; instead, two auto rickshaws are seen going head-to-head in a showdown that felt nothing short of an F1 race. With full-speed racing, a sudden crash and a clear winner, the video has become a viral hit.
The Auto Rickshaw Showdown
The video, shared on X (formerly Twitter), shows the two auto rickshaws racing closely along a road. The tension is real as both
vehicles try to overtake each other at high speed. At one point, the autos diverge onto separate lanes with the other one on the wrong side. Disaster strikes when the auto on the wrong crashes into a car. The collision causes it to lose balance and tip over.
Meanwhile, the other auto continues without any obstacles and crosses the finish line as the clear winner. To make it even more entertaining, the video has been dubbed with Formula 1 commentary.
The caption shared along with the clip even references famous F1 drivers, saying “Lewis Hamilton vs Max Verstappen.”

People Had A Lot To Say
Since being shared online, the video has managed to gain significant attention with social media users sharing varied reactions in the comment section.
One user commented, “It’s always fun driving slow vehicles fast than fast vehicles slow.”
Another simply said, “Fast and furious,” while someone else remarked, “Power handle meets his well-deserved fate.”
“He risked his life just for a race,” a person said.
An individual laughed and said, “Through goes Hamilllltonnn…unbelievable stuff.”
Auto Rickshaw Races Aren’t New
This is not the first time auto rickshaws have been part of a thrilling race. In 2023, a video titled “Moto GP” was shared on Reddit that showed three rickshaws competing on a proper race track. The vehicles turned around the curves and battled closely for the lead. The video ended without showing which rickshaw won but it left people online thoroughly entertained.
