The Red Bull Soapbox Race is an international event that started back in the year 2000, in Brussels. Since then, more than a hundred Red Bull Soapbox Races have been organized globally.

The contest rules are pretty simple! Racers are welcomed to build their own soapbox and compete against gravity. Each of these handmade machines lack engine on them.

Drivers go to the top of a hill, gravity does its thing, and reach the bottom of the hill and people cheer. Or, as is quite often the case; gravity does its thing, you see a spectacular crash and people cheer anyway. All the rest is just bells and whistles.

The Red Bull Soapbox races are held on a variety of different city courses around the world. The teams are all local amateur entrants
