Wacky Races and featured an ongoing serial about an unusual 

car race around Britain.

substantial £ 100,000, a very large sum at the time (equivalent.to over

£1,3: million in today's money).

Characters:

The main contestants were four British drivers,

often relying on national stereotypes for humour.

 

Bulldog Brown: an English racer who drove a coal powered car.

Mac Macintosh: a Scottish character

Dai Williams:  a Welsh character:

Paddy O'Toole: an Irish character.

Plot:

The racers competed in various legs of the race, often facing

disruption from agents of the fictional eastern : European nation

of Mundavia and their operative, Colonel Kutch.

 

Artist: the artwork for the strip was provided by Francisco Solano López.

"Crazy Car Capers" was a serialized comic strip featured in the British 

weekly anthology Jet, published by IPC Magazines,
