Over the years the event has encouraged teams to create a variety of vehicles, from realistic replicas to the quirkiest designs the imagination can conjure up. This includes a piano, a giant baby carriage, a rodeo clown, a massive corn on the cob, a jail cell and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Judging for the Red Bull Soapbox Race is based on speed, creativity and showmanship. This means that it is important for teams to try to be the fastest across the finish line; but it is also important for teams to have a lot of personality, showing as much originality and creativity as possible. Racers will also need to wow the judges with their stage routine and dazzle them with their showmanship.
