Baghdad motor racing on video

A BBC correspondent has discovered a new uprising in Baghdad near Jadriyah Lake in the south of the city, but this time it’s motor racing.

Featured in the video is a couple of Pontiac Firebirds, Chevy Camaro, Toyota Celica and an old BMW 5-series. They might not be the ultimate racing machines but considering the situation over there it’s pretty awesome that they have started racing as a pastime.
