Soap Box Race - the challenge 

84 teams, even less brain cells, a 12 metre high launch ramp and 50,000 spectators waiting for some crash carnage...      Click here for a taster of the action!!

the wheels

Home made go-karts, powered by gravity, and in our case constructed from this extensive    design drawing in 4 days and never tested downhill until race day!

the rules

Race heats consisting of 4 karts head to head. Points awarded for kart design, finishing place and most importantly, crowd pleasing (which was about our only hope of success as we binned it in to the crowd in a wave of custard and cream!)

difficulty rating

Start line...crash...finish. Easy.

outcome

Take cover...the custard is coming...!!!
