The Red Bull Box Cart Race, which took place in Sandton last weekend, isn’t just about who blasts down in the fastest time, but the teams must also entertain the spectators and impress the judges with a slick dance routine.

After an eight-year hiatus, an action-packed daay saw the SA Bobsled team from Benoni electrify the 25 000-strong crowd and the esteemed judging panel to win Red Bull Box Cart Race 2018 in spectacula­r fashion last weekend. They impressed with their booty-shaking dance routine and a near-flawless plunge down Johannesbu­rg’s Sandton Drive to be awarded the title and the winner’s trophy. Red Bull Box Cart Race isn’t just about who blasts down in the fastest time, the teams must entertain the spectators and impress the judges with a slick dance rounner tine. Designed by SA off-road racer and Dakar winner Giniel de Villiers, the 500m snaking course was a challengin­g one, with all the requisite banked corners and jumps to challenge even the sturdiest of carts.
