The video begins with the runners sitting in their seats waiting for the start. But there are the wheels but not the cars. A row of familiar desk chairs on wheels. Due to the circumstances of the vehicle, the drivers and engines turned their backs on the starting line and waited tensely for the start. Then the fire of battle broke out and everyone set off with their feet flapping briskly. Run through the circuit at incredible speed.
After that, the rush to the heated chair continued. The chair runners continue to push forward, flapping their legs at incredible speed. Although the outcome of the battle was never revealed, the impression was that the Blue Chair had the upper hand. On Twitter, a user who introduced this mod posted a clip of a chair and a car race. Users seem to be paying close attention to the emergence of a chair that boasts speeds that can outrun cars.

It seems that chairs often make contact with each other and fall out, so the competition seems to be pretty stiff. Furthermore, it is a condition for participation in the tournament that everyone prepares and wears a helmet, gloves, knee pads and elbow pads, and it seems that safety has been taken into account (Official site of the Isu-1 Grand Prix). Furthermore, the passion of never giving up until the end is also qualifying for participation in the tournament. It seems like a strong mindset is needed to complete the 2 hour endurance chair ride.
