Formula PF 62 Grand Prix de Ctiboř is an annual race of vintage Czecho-Slovak made 2-wheel tractors, probably one of top 3 most dangerous races in the world.
The 5 HP 2-cycle machines Motorobot PF-61, 62 & 63Diesel, nicknamed Freza (Mill) were made ca. 1950-1980. The competitors from Czechia and Slovakia met again this year in the historic village of Ctiboř (first mentioned 1233 AD, about half way between Prague and Vienna). The main prize was a can of gritty hand cleaner Solvina.
Consider your schedule if you plan to visit central Europe next year. Prague is overcrowded and Vienna boring. The action is in Ctiboř:
Competitors arriving
More competitors arriving
Even more competitors arriving?
Race lineup, original Le Mans-style start (running towards the machines, notice drivers carrying their leather pull belts)
Pick up & carry parallel race
Back up slalom
Handicap pick up & carry race with a spectacular full speed crash, driver thrown from the tractor
Prizes for race survivors (OSHA disclaimer: understand that these are tough people who made it through 4 decades of Communism and notice that Superman placed only second)
