Team Crazy Coupe - Soapbox 45



Carrick, James & Gethin stumbled upon the Ashby soapbox advertisement and decided to seek donations of Crazy Coupes for their soapbox design. The amusing concept of utilizing a toy car left everyone bewildered and scratching their heads in disbelief!


At the young age of 17, 16 & 12, these determined and innovative engineers dedicated themselves to crafting an incredible contraption. Starting with a small kids' go-kart, they meticulously designed every aspect of this magnificent cart. Despite facing initial setbacks that caused their creation to split in half, they persevered and continuously improved the cart's robust design.


After being inspired by the Red Bull Soapbox event, there is a hint of a performance brewing at the starting line - keep an eye out for the spectacle!
