Event Format
Overview
Homemade cars made of soap crates, spare timber, and pram wheels have been raced for over 100 years. Known as soapboxes, building them is as exciting and as big a thrill as racing them!
Thanks to Quest’s outstanding team building event, you can experience the anticipation and imagination of the build, and the thrills of the race. “Lights out and away we go!”…
Constructors championship
Build a Go Kart
In the high octane world of motor racing, the car constructors are as feted as the drivers. On this electrifying outdoor team building activity, Quest takes the same approach. The soapbox build is as crucially important as the drive!
Each team will be given a kit of robust raw materials and equipment. Some pieces large and some fairly intricate but all highly important and following their plans, the teams must construct their soapboxes.
Remember this whole event is highly competitive. The efficiency of your build and personal touches are essential to help make your team the winners, and make your team’s soapbox scorching hot! Go chase the chequered flag…
Race Day
On Your Marks, Get set, Go!
Once your soapboxes have been constructed, race officials will conduct rigorous specification and quality checks, and collate build times.
This multi-part team building event will then move out from the workshops to the race track. You’ll need to select drivers and pushers (we call them engines), don helmets and make final adjustments.
Race officials will make last-minute checks and the starter will ensure all are ready. Race adrenalin will cut in, mouths will be dry and nerves stretched.
The number of teams will determine heats or races being run. Which team will have world-class drivers or the fastest engines? Whose team will take the chequered flag? Take part in a soapbox derby and you’ll find out.
Pit Stops
Changing Wheels
All fans of motor racing know the speed of pit stops and performance of the teams working in them can mean win or lose. Lighting speed on wheel changes, “blink or you’ll miss it” refueling, and stellar-fast repairs can win a race.
As you’d expect in a corporate event of this quality, Quest will replicate real race conditions for your soapbox derby. Push-powered go-karts they maybe but you will run low on fuel, and will need a pit stop to fill your tanks. Pump that gas!
You may need to change from treaded tyres to slicks. Or you may simply develop a puncture. Whatever the scenario in this corporate team event, a wheel change will be required. Can you beat the Red Bull team’s eye-watering 1.88 seconds
