The Red Bull Cart Race: It\u2019s all going downhill from here.<\/p>\n

Soon, the streets of Sandton are going to have the full fury of gravity-powered carts zipping down them. Yes, after eight years absence, we\u2019re going to see the return of audacious adventurers in nothing more than flimsy wooden carts flying down the road.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Red Bull may not give you actual wings, but it certainly gives flight to courage.<\/p>\n

Essentially, participants will be presenting their own custom-made carts. Designed and built to take on the streamlines, and beat the best.<\/p>\n

You know you want to be there. This is sheer YouTube gold waiting to unfold.<\/p>\n

It is too late to form a team now. BUT maybe next year, we even encourage you to join in the fun with your own contraption.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Gravity<\/strong>
\nGravity is a harsh mistress. We suggest, if you decide to sign up for next year\u2019s race, you don\u2019t neglect an effective breaking system. Helmets are also recommended. Love your face \u2013 use moisturiser on a regular basis and avoid it skidding on the gravelly surface of the road at 100 kms per hour.<\/p>\n

Daring<\/strong>
\nThat\u2019s the spirit of the race. Being brave enough to take your dream machine and let it roll downhill at speed. The Red Bull Cart Race is about having courage. Those who have the bravery get the glory. Just, maybe, invest in pads in your vulnerable places.<\/p>\n

Creativity<\/strong>
\nWhat\u2019s going to make your machine faster, more streamlined, and efficient at steering as you barrel downhill than your competitors? Some creative thinking. Recommendation: refresh your knowledge on basic physics. Or don\u2019t, and just go with gut instinct. The latter may be more interesting come race day, anyway. Interesting in the bad sense of the word.<\/p>\n

Showmanship<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s not enough to pitch up in your wonder machine. C\u2019mon, we want a spectacle! This may be the closest we get to the chariot races of Ancient Rome. Come up with a theme for your team. Are you the Spectacular Skeletons? Then bring a purple skull mask to adorn. The Ballistic Ballerinas? We want to see tights, then, as you launch into the air with legs extended like you were performing Swan Lake.<\/p>\n

Sound exciting? Be there for this year\u2019s race to see how it\u2019s done. You\u2019ll have the opportunity to get inspiration and ideas to help you for the next event.<\/p>\n

Sandton Drive may never be the same. We\u2019re expecting the bizarre, the banal, the brilliant. This is where wit meets madness.<\/p>\n

View the teams on the Red Bull Cart Race site and see what to expect on 16 September.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be really exciting, and hopefully enough inspiration that you start planning your own team for next year. We\u2019re delighted it\u2019s taking place in Sandton Central<\/strong><\/a> on Sandton Drive\u2026 the ultimate downhill slope in our city. But while the event is going downhill, it\u2019s simultaneously going to be upping the fun.<\/p>\n

This truly is YouTube gold in the making. Bring your cellphone and capture the madness on 16 September.<\/p>\n
