How It Works
- Each team gets an allocated pit stop garage, a basic pedal-powered cart, a tool kit and limited design materials.
- After sketching up your initial designs, it's time to go head-in-head in some hilarious challenges to win all kinds of parts and materials to build your carts and dress your racers!
- Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and bring your vision to life as you build the ultimate, most unique soap box cart!
- When the carts are complete, drivers take their seats in the parade lap to show off their inventions.
- Next, it’s over to the MOT station to pass the safety checks.
- Following several soap box racing heats, all racers line up on the grid and it’s pedal to the metal for the final laps around the crazy course.
- The race points are added to the judges’ points awarded for innovation, teamwork, creativity, best-dressed driver and overall best design.
- With the winners announced, teams step up onto the podium to receive their medals and bubbly. Be warned though, this is normally sprayed over the crowd, in true F1-winning-style!
