Scrapheap Challenge (1998)

S03E10 Grand Final: Dragster

Nothing fuels a Junkyard Warrior's adrenaline like the thrill of drag racing. In this exciting showdown, the Season 3 champions face off against last year's titleholders to determine who can achieve the highest speed while keeping their wheels on the ground. The champions opt for a traditional dragster, but when their gearbox fails, they creatively turn the back axle upside down, allowing reverse gear to propel the car forward. Meanwhile, the previous winners choose a trike, which offers the potential for greater speed but demands a much more precise build.
