Red Bull to host Soapbox Race at Ramanaidu studios in Film Nagar, Hyderabad on March 3

HYDERABAD: The Red Bull Soapbox Race, an event that pushes creativity, speed, and innovation to limits, is all set to take place on Sunday, March 3, 2024, at Ramanaidu Studios, Film Nagar in Hyderabad.

Tickets are live for the racing event of India.

From 3,300 registrations across India from 23 different states, 30 shortlisted teams and their carts, ready to drive down the slopes of Ramanaidu Studios, Film Nagar Hyderabad, they will face obstacles on their way down. Soapbox racing offers an adventurous experience where participants compete downhill against the clock in vehicles they've custom-built.

These vehicles rely solely on gravity for propulsion and typically include basic steering and braking mechanisms to navigate the course's twists, turns and obstacles. While the primary objective is enjoyment, it's important to recognise that this remains a race, with speeds reaching up to 40-50 kmph on the narrow straight stretches of the course. The event will be judged based on creativity of the craft, showmanship of the craft and team stage performance along with the race time.

The winning team will take home the bragging rights and a fully paid Red Bull Racing F1 experience for their team.

Scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 3, 2024, at Ramanaidu Studios, Film Nagar, Jubilee Hills from 5:00 p.m onwards, this year's edition promises to be bigger and better than before. In the whimsical world of the Red Bull Soapbox Race. Participants from all walks of life will showcase their creativity as they design and construct their very own non-motorized soapbox vehicles.

With creators like Aaditya Kulshreshth, also known as Kullu Baazi, Rohan Joshi, Sahiba Bali and Jordindian as hosts, the event promises a day filled with laughter and high-octane action. The event will also be judged by big names like Chess Player Tania Sachdev, Indian Hockey Player Manpreet Singh, Hockey Prodigy Lalremsiami, and Dakar Rally 2 Champion Harith Noah, among others. This Red Bull Soapbox Race will feature participants from different zones of the creator world.
