Attention, big dose of fun in perspective! On September 18, 2022, Toulouse will host a Red bull soapbox race, on the hillsides of Pech David.
A race open to all
This is the fourth edition in France of this four wheeler racing each one more original than the other. Everyone can participate, from the age of 16: everyone can indeed build their own soapbox, with four wheels and without a motor.
The technical constraints to respect to build your soapbox
The technical constraints for the soapboxes to participate in this race organized in Pech David are precise. The device must not exceed 2.5 m wide, 5 m long and 2 m high. The weight of the vehicle must not exceed 80 kilos.
The car must also be equipped with good steering, a braking system in perfect condition and a… horn.
Recycled materials and originality
Race organizers encourage participants to use recycled or second-hand materials. And originality and creativity will be highly valued!
The jury made up of professional athletes and celebrities judges the participants obviously on speed. But staging and creativity are two essential criteria for victory: a 20-second choreography and a show making up a good part of the final score.
Registrations have just opened
Each crew must consist of four people: a pilot, a co-pilot and two pushers. Only their physical strength will allow them to descend the circuit which will be made up of hairpin bends and straight lines.
Registration to participate at this Red bull race of soapboxes have just opened. They can be filed until May 22. The teams selected for the race after this stage will be announced on June 20.
