Soapbox racing is a fun sport. It started in the 1940s. Kids made their own cars and raced them downhill. Today, it's still a popular sport. The Red Bull Soapbox Race London is a big event. Over 50 teams take part. They make their cars with suspension and computer-aided designs. The cars must be under 80 kg and no longer than 3.5 meters. They can't have engines or batteries. The teams are judged on creativity, showmanship, and speed.
One team, Brick Six Farm, stood out. They are a young team with a metal worker, a driver, two builders, and a designer. They made their car in an after-school club. They used a workshop to cut, grind, weld, and rivet the metal. Their car is based on a Ferrari F1 1950. It has a special braking system and steering system. The team is confident and wants to win.
The team did well in the race. They came 16th overall and got a good score for their performance. They are already thinking about next time and how to improve their car.
