Excellent car - I've owned 5 of them. The power-to-weight ratio is stunning and they're great fun to drive.

so this is why that car is so fun.. they see it rollin' they lovin'

Notice all the Reliant racing is done on right-hand tracks? The right hand drive position counterbalances roll during a right turn. On this track, the camber on the inside line helps as well. Top Gear has some learning to do! :D

That was the giggle I needed today, too bloody funny!

In an effort to boost plummeting ratings, NASCAR introduces the "Car of Day After Tomorrow," complete with 3 wheels. Other changes include the abolishion of full course yellows and removal of wrecked competitors.

I'm normally not a fan of banger racing, but this is hilarious.

You know Clarkson may have had something with those training wheels idea

I love reliant robins

We need this in the states.

0:10 Brazilian kid! nice :D

We send the robins around the track. The last one that is able to move wins.

Best. Sport. Ever.

Why can't we replace nascar with this?

Genius!

The original "DEATH RACE"

This is hilarious!! I've never seen endurance/demolision derby-type racing that was so funny, with cars that just keep going. Like watching 3-legged cats in an ass-kicking contest!

someone once told me that a 3 legged table is more stable than a 4 legged table........

...and the British public roars in laughter.

The wheel was probably *loose* which caused the car to *lose* it.

they better repear those cars

Never understood why people call them Robin Reliants,surely its Reliant Robin.

I want one of those.

Hmm, I guess that explains the Robin at the used car lot covered in duct tape

Mr. Bean's nemesis' car...

If this was made into a game it would be a top seller. Who doesn't want to just flip a Reliant

Wheel Barrel Racing. Finnally they made a proper class..

@pyrofella The three wheelers could be licensed as motorbikes in the UK until a little over a decade ago, meaning the tax was cheaper for them (and I believe insurance as well). So, many people got them since they were so affordable compared to normal sub-compact tax rates (and they had the same cargo space). They were also cheap to manufacture since the bodies are fiberglass.

Reliant Robin races, a guaranteed clusterfuck.

Yes

@777ranches1 They meant it won't have a rock to it, not that it would corner better.

omg yes

WOO HOO!

Has anyone tried to enter a Reliant Kitten with the argument that it's a "Robin with an extra wheel"?

Is this the new IndyLights for the BatWang Indycar series?

looks like the longer estate versions dont roll as bad in the corners

is the black one number 60? fucking gorgeous car!

i live in hednesford and i went to watch the bangers up there and one the drivers got killed so they might be closing the track !!! :'(

how do they not fall over on the corners????

1:15 I think losing the wheel actually increased it's stalibility.

thumbs up if TG took u here!

i wonder if Jeremy Clarkson started this trend ahaha

elimination round?

Wouldn't these cars be much safer if it had the 2 wheels on the front and one on the back?

errr.... they do !

Fifa 98 theme song!!

the front of this car looks like a VW Golf I / II

It's exactly the same, except that they turn right instead of left.

That is british NASCAR

MAN! that's Fucking Weird! i want to drive one!!

It mystifies me to this day as to why this car was designed this way and what for?

@Thejubasmal no thats my bro joe

yES.

reliant trabant.

the point is that its not safe...

Get Rekt Lol

@mansfieldram untill the stink rises..

whats a robin reliant? never heard of a car company called robin.

Poor little Tamworth piggies I eat like one

more like demolition derby

Ridiculous car - this is the best fate for it, really.

What's that supposed to mean? Looks like you are even far below the level of Jerry Springer. I always thought it's impossible to sink lower than that. I was wrong about that...

niech gina

what the HELL were they thinking! the people who invented this car must have graduated from 3rd grade....if not worse

its reliant robin not robin reliant.. it's like saying lancer mitsubishi or charger dodge..

The funniest thing... Brits are always making fun of how poorly our American muscle cars handled... yet Brits were driving around in these things in the 70's...

Lol lol lol

Nothing about Only Fools and horses in the comments?

this is absolute bullshit. I have been the passenger in or driven approximately 18 Robin Reliants in the last 12 months and never once did I feel unsafe or that my arms and legs were at jeopardy. Cmon people give the little fucking thing a break. FUUUUUUck

This car is probably the worst invention ever :D

Just stupid i mean 3 wheels where not invented for racing in my eyes keep to 4 wheels you can't go wrong the Robin Reliant is the worst car ever made every time you turn a corner you go over on your roof very funny indeed
