This Kid Makes the Best Faces While His Race-Car Driver Dad Is Behind the Wheel

1 minute read

Watch a five-year-old boy scream at the top of his lungs while his father, a race car driver, is behind the wheel. The highlights of the clip are the youngster’s facial expressions and cackling — which can also be seen as nervous laughter.

In what appears to be an annual tradition, Toxa Avdeyev of Almaty, Kazakhstan, also filmed his son’s reaction to the ride when he was three and four years old. Both videos have racked up more than 5.5 million YouTube views to date.
