Red Bull Soapbox Race returned to Ireland for the first time in 8 years and did not disappoint with over 60 of the county’s most innovative and witty amatauer drivers and soapbox builders raced their homemade soapbox crafts some teams managing to hit speeds of up to 40kph!
The teams raced past 30,000 people on Patrick’s Hill. In the end, team Jumbo Breakfast Roll managed to cook up a storm or a fry…to master the 350m track. They followed in the footsteps of the 2004 Red Bull Soapbox Race winners, as this year’s event saw another team from Wexford take the top spot on the podium.
We wanted to go for something really Irish so that’s why we decided on the Jumbo Breakfast Roll, you can’t get more Irish than that
