Red Bull's Soapbox Races

Now, whether you're actually into motorsports or not, this is one that anybody can enjoy and get into. Red Bull has annual events in several major cities around the world where people come to race downhill in their themed and decorated soapboxes. There are no engines involved, just gravity and four wheels. The teams often choose a theme and design their craft or soapbox around their theme. They often dress up and dance around before pushing the driver off the starting platform and down the hill. 

There are some judges and score cards, but it's more about the fun of the overall event and seeing when and where they commonly wreck and examining the common failures of the crafts that wreck. It's something amusing to sit and watch with your friends or family. 

Here's a link to a Japanese soapbox race:
