A toilet, a shopping trolley, and a garden shed, all raced at high speed at an event in northern England Sept.15 to Sept. 16, showcasing the eccentric side of motor sports.

The toilet, which a team of young students had rigged out with wheels and an old motorcycle engine, reached just over 70 miles per hour (113.5 kph), breaking Britain’s speed limit for cars.
