Los Angeles has long been known as a city of cars.
Car culture, low riders, the Petersen Automotive Museum and a vast network of freeways are a testament. Now it has to add this wacky cart race to the list. The Red Bull Soapbox Race is a race of nonmotorized carts that make their way down a custom course consisting of turns, jumps and obstacles. Teams of up to five members performed a skit before propelling their carts down the course.
The drivers had to navigate obstacles in hopes of logging the fastest times. Hundreds of spectators lined the route which began at Grand Avenue and ended at Broadway along 1st Street.

It finished the course in 37 seconds but couldn’t escape a near-perfect score from the judges.
Forty teams from across the country were selected to compete. The teams were judged on their creativity, showmanship and speed.
