racing chariot
Hippodrome competition vehicle
A racing chariot is a lightweight two-wheeled vehicle drawn by horses, designed for speed in competitive races.
Ancient civilizations—especially Rome and Greece—built elaborate hippodromes for chariot racing, which was among the most popular and dangerous spectator sports of antiquity.
The racing chariot was built lighter and lower than war chariots, typically carrying a single driver who stood upright while controlling two to four horses.
