race

for all seasons has created a thunderous circuit where competitors will need ice in the veins and red. -Warm reactions, they will be hailed as this year's champions.

Welcome to the Red Bull

race

in London and the iconic Alexandra Palace. We're in the pits with the teams as they make final adjustments to their dream machines. It has 20,000 expectant fans. We line up the field here ready for the action and chaos to begin. It's Ally Pally's fourth time hosting the event and for good reason. Not only does it offer spectacular views of the city, it's also steeped in history, but most importantly, it has a massive hill for our runners to launch themselves onto. seeking grandstand glory, is the ultimate test of engineering excellence driving skills with a healthy dose of eccentricity in the mix and later today one of these 70 teams will be crowned champions of London

2019

and as a brilliant excuse to sample some deletions from the archive here's a handy crash course guide to get you up to speed defending eccentricity since 2000 in the Red Bull Soapbox race, amateur teams of friends, family and co-workers compete with wacky homemade creations in a course riddled with obstacles and all with only gravity propelling them along over the years.

More than 100 events have been held in incredible locations around the world and each race attracts thousands of fans, all hungry for speed. Silliness and the occasional spectacular and fun crash are always the order of the day. but this is a contest and to decide a winner, each team receives a score in three categories: first, a panel of judges rates the creativity and craftsmanship of each stand, then points are awarded for a 30-second performance immediately before the race and, finally, these scores are added. Regarding the total time needed to complete the course, sorry, if they complete the course they get more overall points than anyone else and you've just earned universal bragging rights as Red Bull Soapbox race champions, there's only one thing standing in the way along the way the tour itself and today's here at Alexandra Palace will challenge our drivers like never before, this course always delivers and this year's theme is Four Seasons and I'm not talking about Tim's favorite pizza toppings, no , that's margarita, yes, anyway, taking inspiration from the British seasonal weather.

Today's course will be just as unpredictable, yes, so a little before we take a closer look at the most important obstacles that our teams will have to overcome if they want to become tribunes and legends today, after months of preparation, the teams arrived here to the exit ramp. and this is where the adrenaline really kicks in, there are 20,000 expectant fans and one of the steepest courses in soap opera history, it's really all downhill from here as the judges hand out their school performance tournament, but now it's just not a option after crossing the tracks. Our teams are tackling the water fountain this year with an extra lip to send the soap boxes into the sky, which would prevent possible destruction in these waves and our races are ready for the next challenge.

Things start to heat up here when our pilots reach the first ramp. On the course of the wedge, they will try to get some airtime and land sunny side up avoiding any damage to their wheels or

soapbox

. Our next obstacle may leave some of our soap boxes in pieces, as this year it's our fall-themed bone rattle, with some extreme angles on those reaching steps shaking things up, so it's no joke, as teams face their last obstacle, the big one, is the kicker. Here you will need icy resolve because hopefully the speed you will have going down that road will propel you both high and far towards the finish line, navigate all that and our driver will be rewarded by ecstatic fans at the finish line and me with a microphone.

What more could you ask for other than maybe a super fast time to the top of the leaderboard? That would be pretty cool too, what an amazing field this is here, where do you see the team taking off today? So to me, it's shocking that they added those new angled steps, like a key type, and I think that's going to cause everything. kind of problems it's a nice day it's sunny it's hot I think there's something about the barriers which is actually a welcome relief it seems like the first of the teams is eager to get up the exit ramp so you still have to get to the bottom and you have to get the reaction, you're right, I'm leaving, I'll catch you guys on the other side, yeah, never say the other side again, I can't, I'll see you guys later, okay, good luck. to all the teams, but now it's time to turn to our master of ceremonies, all authority in all things in the stands, take him, mr.

Darren Fletcher thanks you all, it's great to be back at Alexandra Palace for what promises to be a great day of Red Bull racing action in front of this fantastic crowd. The judges are in position ready to award points for the team's performances after having recorded their creativity. note before when they saw well the designs of the stands at the moment of panic to see the first team that is about to start today's race and set the initial pace so fast as to be furious: they are a group of friends who have become closer. It is his last participation in the Red Bull race, which was two years ago.

I think if memory serves they finished ninth overall that day so they have experience there from the Cotswolds and Tim will be the driver. They are all motor fans, therefore. why they designed this particular grandstand it is a replica of Paul Walker's Toyota Supra from the movie Fast and Furious and it is 420 meters from top to bottom it is one of the steepest routes in the history of grandstands it has an average inclination of 8, 5% from top to bottom look for the speed camera later you can score three ways here, creativity performance and of course speed and train tracks are the first thing soap boxes then water and they are nice and rapids there and there is a lot of concentration on Tim's face and the wedge are no problem either now we increase the speed now we start thinking about the speed gun smile if it is more than 25 miles per hour the noise of the pump is not for them either causing a problem 33 this is a really good race big smile on the camera's face there's the really spectacular kicker at the finish line twenty-five point three and in the straw bales at the end that's what they're there for, fantastic people who run too much quick to be furious, they will be delighted.

It was fast at the top, fast in the middle, fast at the bottom and the obstacles presented absolutely no problems. Fantastic job from Tim behind the wheel and great air over the kicker to finish spectacularly. This is B Easy Rider, the team formed by Chris Jed. and Louisa are a family team and growing up, Louisa are father and daughter, Jen and Chris are father and son, and Ellen Gray, the brothers-in-law, and it is a tribute to Manchester, which symbolizes the worker bee and they are also breeding. Money also for breast cancer has come here with great intentions today BZ Ryder and they hope this soap box can take them from the top of the field to the bottom of the field in one piece and they hope they can swing.

The opposition with a good race today here in London with a performance score of 27 and the first of the obstacles looming over BZ Ryder. There we crossed the water source and it was easy to navigate there. The wedge posed no problem. Lots of speed there. the chicane Oh, he just caught the whale in front of the left, as you look at it, it was right off the chicane that he just caught the straw bale Graham slightly off the line as he was going through there, they were nice and strong there, but It was like the Coming out of the chicane, it was just that front wheel that caught the bale of straw.

Well, on the entry, too narrow, too tight on the exit, then you see the wheel catches it, there we go, bends it, breaks the axle and that's for B Easy Rider. Let's take a look at Ally Pally's Men in Black. They have experience in Red Bull's soap opera career in the past. This is the performance that you will see all the teams do before starting the soap opera race itself. All teams have already been judged on creativity and port, the more points you can get for creative performance, it simply gives you a little wiggle room when it comes to accelerating the course.

Liam, alone among old friends working with colleagues, machinery, Lee's fiancé and equipment dealer. Also, he is Justin's brother-in-law, so they all know each other very well, they direct the driver and the men from the black stand leave before, but they score at 24 now this one is wide, this one could be difficult to handle, it has small wheels and thin for stroller. that we have seen in the past are necessarily the strongest, it was a little wobbly, it was not through the water fountain that has that edge added this year to launch the soap box up, the wedge was fine, but I looked to fight against it with a handlebar no, it just managed to keep it there this could be interesting the bone rattle I threw the bone rattle starting to break it's everywhere now it can go down towards the kicker it's only 23 through the speed gun I have to overcome the last hurdle oh he's on his side kenny straighten up yes he can that's brilliant he'll need a break after that 140 2.97 I haven't seen many drivers have to work so hard to get from top to bottom in a Red Bull race. just 420 meters that must have seemed like 420 miles, he started to wobble right at the top and never managed to regain control.

Look at him fighting there. left-right left-right just made it through that chicane and this is where the really tough obstacles come with the bone rattle on the kicker and he just manages to keep things straight there. fantastic job from the purple tip already some epic racing I know, join us after the break as the chaos continues here at Alexandra Palace, courtesy of Red Bull Soapbox Race, see you here soon, welcome back to Alexandra Palace where today Competitors from across the country have gathered to pit their racing wits against each other in search of the most prestigious surprises, the chance to be crowned Red Bull champions. grandstand race in London in

2019

, so without further ado let's get straight back to the top, our next group of racing hopefuls, well these Royal Air Force engineers with their tribute to the red arrows are ambassadors to get you the next generation to be interested in a career in science, technology and engineering, and all of which come into play today, they all work for the Royal Air Force and the stand, as you can clearly see, is a tribute to the Red Arrows team who must run and feel involved before 2017, they ran with the Lancaster theme. bomber, they were eight years old that year and they also won the People's Choice Award.

There will be a little twist in the story halfway through, provided they get there. Ken is the driver, Dave is the co-driver, the rest of the team is James Dan. and Paul, this is called red eleven, so the mustache team is on the way. They are a proud team, they hope to do well today and are ready to get a performance score of 31 and will try to generate as much speed as possible. They may be able to do it on this steep course, 8.5% average customer, 420 meters top to bottom and it's been very good so far. This team needs the right altitude and the right attitude.

We're going through the chicane. tight over there just managed to avoid the wing it's on the straw bail it's for bow rattlesnake no problem real quick let's take a look at me oh he's just losing his mind now he's going to lose speed that's a real way he's the kicker there oh I just managed to keep it, but celebrating, turning up the steering, I got it there at forty-two point zero seven and I thought for a moment that it would all end in tears, we finally pulled out the columns of red smoke from the back of the red arrow that we hope see a big splash in the water before and there is always that tendency to celebrate the kicker, but you have to make sure the grandstand is back in a straight line before you reach the finish line, but all -Overall it was a good race from Team Mustache.

Don't be impressed by this beautiful painting and this impressive design. Don't be fooled by the integrity of the welds. All components offered here. I will tell you this right now. The disadvantage will be the speed you reach compared to those wheels ofplastic. What is the bottom of the plastic wheel here? I think if you go a little sideways you might come off one of the jumps and lose control a little bit if that rubber catches those wheels they're just going to spin oh they're going to break dangerous it's not exciting even though it's about yeah can't wait well Tim predicts this

soapbox

drop will be the wheels we've seen happen On so many occasions at various Red Bull racing events whether they are going to keep the distance will be a deciding factor for the highway 2l and these two drivers are also driving instructors for me so it's not under pressure if there is a three-point turn on the way down it should be fine, the bad news is there is no Selby team in Yorkshire .

The teams say they turned things around and raised the devil and demon out of him so they could put on an incredible show. They say there are no stop signs, there are no speed limits, we will give you absolutely everything. score 27 creativity 26 approval by Andy obstacles are going to be the problem here with those whales no problem through the water there is the wedge the way the axles are designed they're just taking a good amount of sting out of the landings here's the bones rattle in the air okay this looks good this looks great 29 big smile on the speed side here's the kicker over the kicker wheels intact over the line what's tire 3844 and then after the finish line the wheels were gone but that's so the box lasted long enough to hit highway 2 With a brilliant course here at Ally Pally, the big concern was whether the wheels would last the distance they did to the finish line.

She no longer had high altitude there, so she ventures all- The female team Hannah will be the pilot Sean Katie and the aunt, the rest of the team, media employees who work together and as you can see, it's a soap box inspired into a superhero. They got 26 out of 40 for creativity. They will be judged on their performance. Well, and then, of course, how fast can they get up and down here at Ally Pally through the smoke too, so come on, Hanna, the pilot, 36 of 40 for the performance, here they go towards the water, about Water. Oh, Bonnie, look. they've lost most of it Hannah really concentrates here's the water and then it spins look at that split around the axles wheels couldn't handle the landing nothing Hannah could do to keep it straight big cheers for her but disappointment for the girls.

I am coffee. I'm from team Bullseye. I'm the driver. My dad. Kevin is the engineer who approaches the mechanic and Ellie is the designer. Actually, we entered earlier in 2017. We were Arabs. bean machine we get to the water fountain the gymnastics loaded this time we'll come back bigger and better one day we'll play darts and my dad loved grandstand racing so you thought you might as well put two and two together it's streamlined and sleek no we will break just because of the kiss of death on him Daddy is piloting the vehicle because although keV is very good at certain things he clearly keeps his hands out of the suras and one of them was cutting a piece of wood I moved it a little too fast and my thumb did that and you really don't want it to work.

I'm so glad I wasn't there because I definitely would have passed out. Poppy will be a fantastic controller. I'm sure she'll do a great job and she won't. If she gets signed out of the book with other kids, she gets to the bottom of the ivy and happy if she doesn't, I'll still have a hundred. I'm happy. I just want to make my dad proud so due to the thumb injury his daughter Poppy is in the driver's seat we are here and if they make it to the finish line this team has a very special surprise planned we will see that too They are a confident group. diana the poppy is fine she has to have the hard work she has to get it from top to bottom it should have been dad it will be poppy we will see if she wins today she will be the youngest driver to win a Red Bull Soapbox Race in the UK, so It's a historic moment if Bullseye can get the job done.

She's a giant 11-foot Dart replica and we want Poppy to look like she'll be fast. Streamlight here is the water. Well, we lost our backs, but still. I've got the rest, which is what's important at this stage, daddy doing a great job, there's even time to celebrate, let's get some speed now, daddy, big crowd here today, everyone enjoying the day through the chicane, here it is the bone rattle, yeah, okay, let's take a look. at speed 20 okay, all we have left to hit the target is the kicker's darts on the kicker, there's the door, big beaming smile on his face all the way down, he really enjoyed it on the kicker and there was the big six foot target for Aim for the goal, daddy decided otherwise, here we go again, take the target correctly, talk to us during the race, what happened?

I just kept going straight and got to the end and I'm so happy we got there, you did the hard part. I want to say that you handled it very well, if there were obstacles that were more difficult than others. I'd say the rattle of one was pretty difficult, but I got to the end and I'm really happy that the bone rattler looked like you could do it. I know, lower the car, but it was good, great, dart boards in the back, set it up, set it up, take it to line it up, line it up when I say, go, go there, go there, go, she's taking it all the way out.

I think so, daddy, good job. well done, but the top team today pushes the pineapple and now everyone works in an English car company and in that company if they give you a pineapple it means that you have not done something quite right, I am going to say looking at it it looks more like a turtle, let's see if it's faster than a turtle, it's a pineapple, faster than the turtle, I don't know, but they went anyway, but Louie is the pilot, Alex Daniel and Fabien, the rest of the team, and they push the Piña is on the way 25 for performance, which failed well somehow they still continue, but they missed that John, I think you try to miss it on purpose, you have to go through the chicane.

Luiz left the wedge in an old state right up. Of course, he won't bother with a tie, then he broke it again trying to get on two wheels. I think only 21 for speed, but this has been a very hairy racer from top to bottom. He's the kicker, two wheels, here we go,

eyes

. I went to the bails and held it well. What a strange race. 53.79 and Louis seems determined to try to tilt the grandstand at some point in the race and each of the obstacles that you didn't capture correctly. Look, there go the poor old castles.

I think he was even excited about the kicker, which by the way takes some bravery to do right. That's one of the strange races I've seen pushing the pineapple. I don't know what racing day we are having here at Alexandra Palace. figures without magnificent chaos, brilliant racing and everything else in between, don't forget to use the hashtag Red Bull Soapbox Race currently in the pits, we have many more teams psyched up waiting for the names that will be called to the start line, so hurry up to see more action-packed incidents after the break. Welcome back to the Red Bull Soapbox London 2019 race.

We're with our next team of hopefuls hoping to make their mark on the competition. I remember these guys you've known for years. the crowd thrilled the judges with their fast food inspired theme yes I remember well, they are back and they are hungry for more. Let's meet the powerful and magnificent men. Hello, I'm Marcus, a member of the team of powerful and magnificent men in the pilot with me. In the stands we have Jack, who is our co-pilot, and then we have James and Dan, who are helping to build. We entered the Red Bull grandstand race in 2017 with the team called meals on wheels.

He was dressed like a packet of crisps. Marcus like a smoothie and the other two were chasing us down the hill, point six four. We had a big accident last year. Well, probably four seeds happened this time. We have had the privilege of working with Cotswolds Airport to build our grandstand and them. They have been very generous in allowing us to use a hangar which is really perfect as our theme is an airplane. It's built from steel, wood, foam, glue, you name it. We have used it. Marx has a degree in ship support engineering and we hope. this year it will really help with the steering and brakes, we are touching twelve feet long, six feet tall, it will look magnificent, we have had a couple of trials and tribulations while building it, mainly when Marcus had been welding, they turned it on fire at one point, it turns out that welding along with paying homage is not a great idea.

Marcus is definitely accident prone and they will do something until you tell them no. I've come to be the driver because Well, frankly, there's only one crazy enough person to drive it, just look at him, which in a race like this is a perfect thing. Jack will hold on for dear life and hopefully he won't fall, that's his job, we're in this to win it for sure. We'll definitely get to the bottom in one piece We probably have no chance of winning because it's too heavy We'll be happy just laughing Now I'm joking We want to win We're the best Marcus won't get the chance to follow the course after his dolls fell off the stands stationary last week, however, he didn't stop and got involved in the performance, so it's good to see, so they were powerful and magnificent men, another aeronautical themed soapbox in which Marcus should have been the driver, so today you're going to be disappointed. 29 for creativity they all went to the same school so they all know each other for a long time it's two meters I think they said it was this from the ground to the top of the wing performance of 32 I'm afraid the parachutes in the back They could be taking away a good amount of speed and you have to get some speed if you want to win today, let's see if this one can fly through the water it's spectacular. a nose dive, powerful and magnificent men, facing first Ally Pally, so much confidence at this point and then the moments of truth, bang, here we go, facing, good to see everyone, well, now we know why They got the parachute, powerful and magnificent men are going to drag the Showbox to the end and they will be cheered on by this magnificent crowd here at Ally Pally today is not the way they intended to get to the finish line, but they will get there and that's the important thing, right?

Where do I start? What happened was too high. yes, we knew it from the moment we got here, the thing was five feet off the ground, too top heavy, is that always the fear of plummeting, yes, we are so heavy and it's so High, oh that's right, dance. to be above the crowd, yes, totally as if I were behind him. I didn't know what it looked like from the front, but from the back I can tell you, well you did it, put it out there to try, it was a beautiful machine, congratulations on getting in. anyway, next time you'll be back Wow, team defender now James Jeff Becky patty James and Becky are married, they're friends of Patty and Jeff James is the current British masters champion 35+ second 800 meter run that Jeff used to be the GB kayak team, so it's an athletic team, this one we're told is very competitive, they're from Nottingham and it's based on one of the most iconic arcade games of all time, defender from the 1980s, and they're in The train is leaving here. the clues are practically gone now 31 for creativity 29 for performance you have to follow those scores too nice and fast through the water he's in control here he changes on the spot on the wedge that's fine - this looks dirty it looks fast it looks well run at this stage if you can keep it fly through the chicane no problem over there it's nice and compact it's relatively narrow the bow bell brilliant speed over there now let's take a look at how fast you're traveling the moment of truth is 26 25 are on the limit here we passed the kicker over there with a lot of height over the finish line the front wheels went 40 3.06 and that was good and they know it was good james jeff becky and panty celebrating that the run defender did it very good There never seemed to be any danger, it really went from top to bottom, none of the obstacles were a problem and it was right at the end of the course, with probably about ten meters to go, that we saw some kind of damage to the grandstand when the La front wheel started to twist a little bit, but it's well designed, it was well driven, it was a good time and it was a good effort from defender Vick Vick, yeah, all that, yeah, sorry guys, this is a good hike, yeah, fantastic.

Just think the design of this is one of my favorites, yes, Styrofoam, it's pretty light, but these, yes, they are going to fly, there will be sea lions everywhere and big winds all over the boat. I don't think I'll go down without losing a few pieces of it, yeah, well, let's see if this iceberg melts in the heat of the countryside, yeah, did you just kiss a sea lion? No, I have never seen a penguin fly, but today perhaps we are all for a good cause. Polar Express, everyone works together making accessories formovies and theme parks where they do everything for the attractions, basically Dylan and Josh are the pilots.

David and Chris, the rest of the team, are trying to save polar bears and other Arctic creatures. At one point, it's a very creatively designed soap box. There was a lot of work done on the soapbox aspect of this one and as you can see now, they're both there, the two pilots that the top was put on and we'll see if Polar Express. They can throw fire into a jump alley or chicken out on the way down 24 for performance 34 for creativity and that doesn't surprise me at the amount of work and detail that has gone into these small wide axle wheels through the water you would expect a Polar Express vehicle with penguins to pass by, that's fine, there are the waves, that's fine if a needle for that passage through the chicane looks very seriously at the pilots face to face with the bone rattle , okay, around 24:25 towards the kicker over the kicker big jump there they both celebrate forty-four point six nine with excellent creativity as well and a decent performance so, overall, Polar Express will be very, very happy with that race here today I just had to get rid of that piece at the top because it threatened to get in the way of the rider, very fast to the bone rattle, nice and smooth on the kicker, overall a very good overall race when all things considered categories they are judged on here today, so this is the Apollo 50, they are the only team that has been in every Red Bull UK race since 2001 and the grandstand just to give you a warning, there is a lot to see in the way down, it's in three joined parts that will separate as Apollo 50 goes down the course, so Dave is the stage one pilot and Johnny is the stage two pilot, so this is going to be split up, it's the sixth start in the race for this particular team, it's locking up and there we go, we're already in two pieces, so 36 for its performance is good and you get two for the price of one with this team.

Apollo 50 has We already split up, I don't know in a day because the front realizes this and we're going to lose the water with the second part, so Johnny is taking the broad route, Dave is going for broke and here we go , that wasn't planned, right? It helps you get Johnny out. It might give Dave some good, but maybe that was part of the plan. That's how it all started. They could probably break down a little faster. The Earth's atmosphere is not larger. Ally Pally for Apollo 52. Shame because. the creativity was good 38 the acting was good 36 and everything was going very well until that point where the wedge is and that's why it went wrong, Johnny tilted it trying to avoid the obstacle, so let's take a look at Philby's work in this case.

It really looks the part, it looks like a racing car. I double the driver Terry Robin Bobby. They are a family team made up of two mechanics and a land displacement technician. I don't know what that was. That was the stand you're looking at. By the way, it was originally a canoe. So they turned a canoe into a grandstand and it's built to look like an original Formula One car. It looks like an original Formula One car. It looks like this, so they get 27 out of 40, but creativity I think might be a little low, but they got 34 out of 40 for performance, this one should be fast, they expect it to be fast, men often run on water bouncing there, it's pretty similar to this, you can tell by the way it reacts upon landing there we went over the wedge nice and fast through the bone chicane to come this could be the moment of truth for this grandstand there is no problem now, then let's go faster Ward is the 30 weapon that's brilliant here comes the kicker around the corner through the snow, with a diving kicker over the goal, like what happens to time, brilliant race, quick look 36.4 four fantastic, brilliant job done by Ben, really well designed grandstand, Thirlby's work did the job.

Ally Pally really enjoyed it absolutely magnificent. they needed the bails at the end to stop it, but they had speed, they had style and they got the job done party bus tracks Tim is the driver Claire Clements Stewart the rest of the team now Guinness Claire and Stuart's husband is an old friend they have never had Been to a Red Bull event before coming from Derbyshire. It is built in the design of a hearse, as you can see the luggage on top. I doubt it will stay there and they are paying homage to the movie Hotel Transylvania with clues. party bus so 34 creativity 29:44 misses him behind the wheel he's already enjoying it let's see how long it lasts through the water the steering wheel is fastened already the luggage is moving to the back the suitcase is gone we're not going to get there very quickly He and they both got there the two front wheels tracks party bus we'll be partying not much longer it's not good she won't really give him a push difficulties everything ended from there he knows look at his face the cases Now, on the panel judges here today and looking for the scandalous, the absurd, the ostentatious, and I'm just going to publish it.

I don't think they will be disappointed. I barely know. I don't know very well after the break. We will meet our next heroes at the top of the hill, all eager to claim his place, get on the podium, we will see you soon. Welcome back to Alexandra Palace here in London, where the carnival of creativity that is the Red Bull Grandstand Race is in full swing. Yes, we've now joined the Bumblebee Brawl team here, who already relegated this term in 2015 and 2017, but are back for a third year hoping this latest creation will transform their fortunes, guys, let's see how they got here.

I'm Chris. and I am the captain of the bumblebee team, they brought my team, we have Adam bill and Michael 2015 we entered the Steampunk of the mechanical ball, it is one of the most extravagant and strange designs we have seen here at Alexandra Palace this year, the The team had told me to skate at the finish line, which I tried to do, but the brakes weren't working. He went straight through the bale of hay. Next thing you know, Kendall interviewed me and we got fifth place. In 2015 we were determined to do better. 2017 was a different matter, it was a case of how to improve.

The steampunk mechanical ball was inspired by Jurassic World. We built a motorcycle with Raptors on each side. I think he surprised everyone again. The Red Bull Soapbox race gets better and better every year. I don't know, I have more moving things, shiny, blinking, smoking and that kind of arms race to be the biggest and best car of that year, it's unreal, nothing else compares, it's going to be fantastic. This year's kart is inspired by Transformers and Bumblebee. The amount of effort we put into this one surpasses the last two races. I think we've almost built a Transformer.

It is so realistic that it seems very real. I mean, there's a certain amount of Pinocchio moment. I'm a little worried and at some point it might come to life, but you'll have to wait and see how I evolve in the future. I really want to win this. Well, this team is desperate to get top spots. on the podium today, after coming so close in 2015 or 2017, it will be the third time we look to the creativity of Chris and company with a maximum of forty and it is not surprising that so much work has been dedicated to Bumblebee Brawl, obviously inspired by Bumblebee the Transformer and apparently when this is all complete, Chris.

The pilot will look like he's levitating above the soapbox as he drives through the countryside, so if they can have a decent time here with the creativity and performance, this will make a really strong case for the bumblebee fight. All

eyes

are on this team and this grandstand because this has been the one that everyone has been looking at in the pits today everyone has been around it. I wouldn't want to be him. I could tell you now, how the hell are you going to get this from top to bottom? things like that go 38 for the performance it's all about the race this seemed like a great idea at the time here's the water device always towards the bales he just lost them right through the water it's still here it's the weight get ready it's still there now she came and then the bone wrapper or she just managed to catch the bundles, but he's okay, here are the bones, okay, I've never seen anything like this, it's only 22, but don't worry too much about it, in that moment, the kicker to finish.

Here's the kicker, he lines it up, come on, he lands, he's in one piece, he's crossed the goal line forty-nine point one two and the bails to stop him Chris did fantastically well. No wonder they're celebrating Andy Michael and Adam up there. the start ramp was magnificent, it looked very creative, imaginative, brilliant and the race itself, well it wasn't the fastest today but it was great to see, you had to be very careful there and then it took so long to line up. the stand for the final kicker and he was really relieved with his legs waving behind him, look at his legs and over the finish line, an absolutely brilliant bumble bee fight, I mean it's yeah, a bit thick, it's made for bins , but it's not that bad, no, you know what? where I'm sitting is pretty impressive, build

your

light feat, however, from the wheel I'm just thinking about the chicane of those tight corners, it's long, it's going to be tricky, it doesn't matter the steering, how the brakes are, because this looks fast, Yes, it will be. quick, I think we could have potential problems in that fourth kicker with a long wheelbase and speed, it's a recipe for a plummeting disaster, yes, it could end up in the trash again, well let's see how we get along so the team topcat can overcome that dreaded last one. kicker we are about to discover 26 of 44 creativity that is based on what the judges feel about the appearance of the stand the amount of work that has gone into the design this is the performance and defense whose objective is to bet the ball to pilot and we're about to leave, not necessarily sure I have the best view through the removed mask, then the moment of truth will come for the 44-foot Top Cat 29's performance on the train tracks they don't plan to break , this team will see whether they do it over the water, some of this is gone, here's the wedge so far, very good, now the chicane has to be nice and fast and go straight through this, if you can, that's well, let's take a look at the speed after the bone rattle, it's okay there. but not as fast as some today 28 not bad, it's gaining speed as we go.

Top Cat is doing well, it's the kick over the kicker nose first over the line, time forty point three zero, that's good too, it's right in the mix in terms of good times today. I did a great job, the driver kept it very straight, went over all the obstacles very quickly and overcame the kicker at the end, which was the part of the course they were worried about, but that was no problem at all and a nice stop and safe in the end, overall good race from Top Cat, the vegan racer, none of whom on the team are vegan, but there you have it, find the vegan flag. a family team, they are all related to in-laws and parents etc, they all love MotoGP racing so they are interested in building a fast grandstand and what Alex is going to do is ride a gigantic sausage with handlebars through the circuit. here in London 23 for creativity the sign said no meat and two vegetables hope that is not the case when it lands after the kicker 27 for the performance that is 40 vegan runner is on the way he looks comfortable there is the water always slow by there release the brakes man come on Alex here's the wedge why so far the moment of truth will be the speed camera because it doesn't look that fast right now but I guess they could pick up speed as they go. the bow rattler needs more speed he has to get more speed nineteen he tripped over his sausage and got into the bales he was too meaty for the vegan runner this course he will try to reach the finish line they still have the kicker, I think you will miss it and now let's go towards the finish line, well, here we go, a carrot mounted on a sausage 109 point nine eight vegan runner bit the dust he always lacked a little speed, right?

From above, where is the wedge?, you can see. the speed he was saying at the time he needs more speed and he's trying to throw some vegetables, he went to squeeze them into the

bull

ets Wow, he knows it, look at his face, he knows it, oh he's gone, so Hanna and Barbara's Mean Machine, a soap box designed to look like the main machine from Wacky Races, it is made of yoga mats to make it lightweight and Lloyd who is dressed as Dick Dastardly as the pilot, Tony will be the co-pilot, he is Muttley behind him, Lizzie , there's Penelope at the pit stop and Kris makes amends.

The team, Lloyd and Tony spent 30 years together working in the aerospace industry and are from all over Scunthorpe and scored 26 out of 40 for creativity and 31 out of 40 for performance. This one has a low center of gravity, it's quite narrow, it also has big thick wheels, which makes a mockery of the wedge. Here we go through the chicane. now reallyWe're gaining some speed towards the Bone Rattler and they absolutely flew away. Now, let's take a look at how fast. get in here 34 that's the fastest we've seen today, what kind of time can they hit? Oh look, Ferrer at the finish line crashes into the bails with such speed that Tony is buried in the straw.

Lloyd was covering his eyes and he can't.

believe

what happened in the end an incredibly fast race by that team that was so spectacular 34 through the speed trap Wow that's the serious contender look at the distance they reached on the bone rattler he barely touched it and then all the speed kept look how far they traveled through the air over the kicker Buckley knows he's coming out at this stage, they don't have a chance to stop on him, bang, look at that, wow, what a run, Oh Tim, it's ding. Kurd already survives an incredible career and there are still many of them.

There's a lot more to come and we also want to know who you love at home, so he's entering a race with the Red Bull Soapbox hashtag. It's time for a short break, but come back here shortly as there will be plenty more thrills and spills for you, courtesy of Of course, here at Alexandra Palace, we'll see you with a little welcome back to Alexandra Palace where 20,000 fans are enjoying of the excitement and enthusiasm that only the Red Bull race can offer. Now it's time to enjoy a bit of Victorian engineering, sort of like a perfect beach. resort we're talking about fish and chips bucket and shovels beach huts and wheels 'cause life really is a beach for these next four friends this is the Hut team and I'm upset I'm George I'm Jordan and we're a hot and bothered team my team I'm Consisting of myself, Jordan, my brother Billy and my sister's boyfriend Alex, we are from a beautiful part of England situated east of Wittering, well on the south coast.

We will grow next to the beach. We will spend a lot of time playing on the beach. I like beachy clothes, so why not do it alone on a stand? My brother Billy has a strange obsession with being Victorian. He is known for dressing up in suits and walking around town. He carries out his daily life. He wears these little shower caps with little decorations. around don't thinkIt's too strange with the Red Bull race around the corner, our design and build moved slowly with Billy's old techniques, we keep trying to get him to use the laptop and just the calculator, but some people don't change, that's what it will be like.

Interesting formula for so many people, but hopefully it will make us heroes of the Victorian day. Do you miss being the fastest p-chart in London? The fastest grandstand in the world may be a bit of a stretch, but you never know, they could be established. a new course record here today in the moment of truth we're almost hot and bothered George the driver Billy Alex Jordan the rest of the team 27 of 40 my creativity the performance really going everyone grew up on the east coast in the east Wittering are a team of friends, they all work in construction and it's a beach shop themed soap box and their goal is to be the fastest beach hut in London and hopefully you never know the big global push of the star trap george.

The pilot kept his concentration, that must be discouraging him because the guy hit Lee's back behind him. here, come on, a little further on, I'm not sure I could submit particularly well once, when she came, we're fine, here's the always-gliding charging bell, looking at Ellie. we went down we never lost the driver 30 miles an hour this is fast the kicker oh when they reach the finish line 37 36 look a guy tore it to pieces at the finish line but that's a brilliant moment hot and bothered absolutely excellent brilliant race so spectacular look quick , I barely touched it and then the kicker broke into lots of pieces at the goal line, we lost the guy at the back but they don't care, that was brilliant, look the florettes are from Stonegate or maybe. represents nightclubs in the northwest region and is a soap box, as you can see, which is based on the classic glitter ball, the disco ball.

Now, will this be an infernal disco flying down the slopes of the alley or will it light up spectacularly over the various obstacles? which we will see 420 meters ahead and outside the golden florettes to start the day here in London, the exit ramp on the train tracks and the first real obstacle will be the water fountain, which will be the first real test for pilot Chris and there. We make a big splash, we have lost a lot, the disco ball in pieces and now we see the chassis rolling along the course on the wedge that is the first ramp, then comes the bone rattler and the kicker before the finish line, it is Relatively smooth ride so far and Chris in control of this grandstand here we go the bone rattle was no problem for the florettes it's just the kicker there's the speed he got it sir an unhappy face he's going less than 25 miles per hour but he's going amusing the kicker and there's the end and fifty point four six is ​​the theme and if you can't stop in time you have the bales of straw to stop at the spectacular bottom through the waterfall, but this is where everything started to fall apart if It's designed to do that.

I'm pretty sure it was probably a big splash in the water. This is a big one, isn't it? It is cumbersome, yes, a big old vehicle, however, the advertisement cannot deceive oh no, because under the skin it is a work of art, the fusion of metal and wood is perfect, the way it is so elegant is built, looks great, feels great, feels fantastic, cut, don't get up

your

sleeves, you know what? Although cats are afraid of water, yes, and we have our water fountain, which I think could be a little problem, yes, and if the head will reach the finish line, they have been known to fall.

Oh, that's a good point because when people run, the animal-themed grandstand is more frequent. No, it's the head that's been cut off, let's see if these guys can get down safely Choa Choa, we have a doctor on the team Lauren, let's hope we don't eat rotten things at a professional level sometimes during today's race. 34 out of 40 for creativity Charlie will be the pipe driver, they have been involved in the Red Bull Soapbox race before, in 2017, they were the Shaggy Wha brand, and in 2015 they were also involved and came out ahead and it is a cat bus that is a character from a Japanese movie 25 for acting and Charlie often runs towards it a very well built soap box the design of this is really impressive over the water that's okay then the wedge gaining speed she came after it is wide soap box but fly over there the 300 meter mark is the movement of the boat and there is no problem the head is still out by the way we haven't lost our minds 31 that's fast 31 that's the kicker let's get some air here it's all yes, now there are the bails or bang 38.4 worked really well, we're seeing a fantastic standard here at Sally Poly today, soapboxes that are built to survive the rigors of the field and soapboxes that deliver plenty of speed and they're all being piloted superbly.

Obstacles are being overcome and overcome. Excellent run to Toro, so let's take a look at gas gas gas. They are a team that worked for a company that produces gas masks and were in the Red Bull race in 2017, where they were driver and co-driver for a team called gas gas gas so they didn't feel the need to change the name of the team they got 35 for creativity the judges like this and it is basically a Willys Jeep that was considered by many to be the iconic Jeep of World War II and Henry is the pilot. Two of the artists were Nick and Phil and they said Jack and Johnny did the team's makeup.

They hope it works, but of course it is very wide, which brings a different dynamic to the proceedings on the water. Little bits and bobs start flying gas, gas, gas on the road, there's the wedge that leaves a little more debris, so into the chicane. It's nice and fast, this one doesn't lack speed and manages a decent takeoff over the bone rattle, let's take a quick look, they're going well, they've done 27, so it's a shame it's not the fastest by any means, but it's good, there's the kicker, gasp, gasp, gasp, nice landing, he landed a little on his back and then he spins it into the bails 41.3 and the whole team can celebrate that the crowd enjoyed it too much, honestly, it always filled the crowd. expensive, although I did take. a side of that little extra gear strapped to the front, a really nice end to the race for the gas, gas, gas rocket to Mars, a bunch of lads who play cricket together and have been in the Red Bull race before be a cricket bat with this built into the middle of the pitch, if you can think of that back in the day, it's based on the Victorian rocket to Mars and apart from the hat, that I just have to mention, which you can see perched on the front going towards the rest of the tribune. which is made from 100% recycled products, then another soap box that was made with recycled material 25 out of 40, but creativity Ivor is the pilot Lee, the co-pilot, is shooting water at the crowd, this activates and at quite a speed old, this rocket to the Mars crowd getting a dowsing, is water okay through its front wheels?

It looks like it might be bent a bit. It has a sprain on the left front. It looks like he's going to leave. I don't think I'm going to get to the bottom of it. You already know the front. left wheels gone, it's going down three wheels a minute, still keeping it going Ivor, here's the bone rattle, this should put an end to that, look at that, catapulted through almost a 360 in the air, the rear he passed by and now you can see the horizontal of the front wheels very very spectacular, check it out here, rocket to Mars towards the bone rattle and then the rear end turns, look at that, he thinks it's okay, there's a shock of cars, my friend, or look at that from the beginning. dashboard there's another shot of the back turning all the way around, it guides him very well to stay because he's the co-pilot in the back, but that's it for the rocket to Mars, so we just left.

This is the position of the judges, so today's job is to give to each one. Our team's performances were timed out, yes, but the judges have Biggs' performance today, they're joking, aren't they? We'll see you after the break, you're dead to me Morgan, you're dead to me, welcome back to the Red Bull Soapbox race 2019, where I have a chance, the heroes are putting everything on the line in a bid to become the champion of this anus. The spectacular setting of Alexandra Palace is beautiful here, isn't it? It's nice, it's really nice now, the next step is to combine the bravery of the London Fire Service, the experience of the Winter Olympians and a clever little twist on a classic 90's movie.

It's time to find out a little. more about team racing we are team racing we are all London firefighters have Pascale who is the pusher along with me Emma the driver of our team is our captain Pete who played driver. Probably the biggest concern was that he came to work one day and said, I've done this before in a grandstand race and I want to do it again. You can't really say no to peeing. He's so excited about it that we cheer along with him, so I came in with hot runs. Now I need a bobsleigh.

Where will I get the bobsleigh form? So I contacted the British bobsleigh team. And from there, we have the thing, we have had a lot of help from the British Bobsleigh Association and they finally donated one of their old boxes to us which, as it turns out, they have cut pieces out of and added pieces to it. Super strong, shouldn't break. I just made one, it's a break and it's going to be so quick we're going to make it shoot quickly on our soap box. We have a week of business the way I want our soap box to represent who. we're so it's a fire brigade that might have some new lights or some sirens.

It will be very special. The British Buffalo team today showed us how to boost the boot much better, much faster. They know what they are doing. They are Olympic athletes so getting a sliver of their experience and knowledge is brilliant. When the sled moves, it moves very fast and you overcome the fear and anxiety of jumping onto something that is essentially moving away from you. It's much heavier than it looks. I'm not the most coordinated person when they started talking about: make sure you jump with your left foot, make sure you jump with both feet and I'm not very good at that, even though it's very easy.

I didn't expect to be so good here. On race day I'm really looking forward to the atmosphere, frankly I'm absolutely terrified of doing the performance at the start of the race, we have great music in front of 20,000 live people, we have great props and millions more watching on TV , that terrifies me, we know fire stations all over London will be watching us too, we're under a bit more pressure, I'm a bit worried, we're in action, so hot, a London fire team, Peter. the pilot Pascal Emma and Martin, these artists areAnthony Andrew Michael and Adam and this soap box has been created with the support of the London Fire Brigade, the Fire Brigade Welfare Fund, the Fire Brigade Union and of course the London Bobsleigh Team.

Team GB, hence the The team is called hot racing and we go and it's a real team effort. I noticed that Pilot Peters has a rubber protector in case he doesn't find Anthony Joshua halfway through, but he'll find the kicker at the bone rattle and that water fountain too, so so far this is so good through from the nice smooth chicane they might want to try and find a bit more speed if they really want to set a time, now they've lost the front which they might as well I've just been slowing them down a bit so the grandstand passed by the bell of bones 30 big smile on the sign's face here's the kicking nose jump over the finish line 39.95 and the straw bales used at the end to stop them and that was a good race, it was smooth, no drama along the way downwards, all the obstacles were overcome smoothly and effectively, a lot of concentration on the face of Peters, who participated in the Red Bull race in 2017, when he was a pioneer, today he is part. of hot racing and he and his team will be delighted with that race team apollo khalipa and they are all related robert is a racing driver and competes in historic motorsports events such as the LeMond silver stand classic, the spar six hour race and in Matthew Shana Richard helped him do that, but Roberts the man will be behind the willow, as we say, he was told not to use the brakes, but he will surely act as additional ballast as the number two drivers, which is part of the design. process, so I don't really know how you turn to one of your colleagues and say: can you be an additional burden on summary 28 of 40 for creativity and is it based on Apollo 11?

There is a tribute to that important anniversary on July 36. of 44 the performance and they leave and one would expect this to be faster than it is. Robert would like it to go through the water, okay, on re-entry they weren't named on the wedge and that's okay too, here's the chicane we have. I've lost a little bit in the back, some kind of cube, anyway, the bow makes noise, no problem, sailing around here, the Apollo team collects 30 miles an hour, gaining speed all the time, a little bit line up with a kicker and over the goal line, can they stop him? 39 points for Maybury, the nose of the rocket into the hay and the rest of the team really enjoying that good race from Team Apollo Kalitta, good work from Robert the driver and the extra ballast from Sean which seemed to pay off on that bone rattler , that's where The stand really started to pick up speed from the 30th minute until the end.

The speed trap and then on the kicker, the other team performed very well here today. I'm Yola, I'm from the Dolphin team driver, my teammates, Aaron who is the captain and also the driver, Tim who is the welder and the fabricator. We live relatively together. Right on the border between Wales and England they are doing the fakest outdoor Adlon, like half for me and it's the Red Bull Soapbox race. We had a party at Aaron's house and he turned into a fiberglass dolphin. We realized that it was actually a very good idea. because it's really nice and simplified, so it would be nice to transfer it to the lockbox.

Tim has a lot of toys in his garage. Every time you go in there, you discover something new that the soap box was built from, plus a local recycling center. I want to have as little impact on the environment as possible if it breaks, it's up to Tim because he's the welder. I hope it will be nice to be together if we win, it would be amazing because he would be the youngest driver to win the Red Bull race that I have. trust in him, I'm sure he will do it and make us proud, so this team's dolphin-inspired stand will be suitable for poor children.

Sorry, I couldn't resist dolphin diver Aaron, Yola pilot Tim and Steve, it's a dolphin, a bottlenose dolphin. which has a bottle for a nose and again it's all recycled material so the box is all recycled material so fantastic 20 for performance they got 21 for creativity and Aaron is on his way he just finished his levels To this team I'm a dolphin the water no problem through the words it's nice and fast this one no real problems in terms of things falling it's fast through the chicane is our dolphin diver is doing good bones no problem it's good in a straight line this one there a look at Speed ​​29 isn't the fastest we've seen today, but we're going down towards the kicker and he overtook it and over the goal line at that point.

We'll be fine thirty-eight point six seven if he won today. I would already be the youngest driver to win the Red Bull race, friend, are you okay? The steering broke. At what point did the last jump go completely off? So I couldn't find the brakes. What before the jump? What happens when you land? couldn't find the brakes went straight into the hay bales scary jump like a dolphin off that thing at the end it felt good it felt so good a chance and then the moment you landed you knew you were going straight up yeah, definitely No I couldn't find the brakes at all, well good job man I mean if you were always in control or did you ever worry about turning it around?

I think I was always in control until that last jump was definitely. It's scary, I know what you mean, it looks vertical when you see it, yes, but good job, you did it with all that rhythm, yes, you are a brave man, thank you very much, congratulations brother, go and relax, take off your tail, OK? so technically

bull

dog and Yorkshiremen joe the driver Rodney the co-driver Rachel and Jacob in the team are also from West Yorkshire say their idea came from a protective helmet now the stand is based on an English bulldog that will carry two people, it has a steel frame, polystyrene body, quad wheels and has excrement ramps, we've never really had one of those before on a grandstand here in London 23 out of 40 for creativity and that's it, 26 out of 40 for performance Joe are up front driving the co-driver behind it's been a very competitive day so far small wheels in the front big ones in the rear will work we'll find out here's the wedge those axles really flex in the front the big quad wheels in the rear will be fine so I wanted that the fronts are the concern and they are really rattling around the track here too on the bone rattle, that was good, let's look at the speed now, so 30 that's right up there with the fastest today around the corner here's the kicker oh as they go I thought they could just flip it there but they did it really well 38 44 and then Ronnie flies past Joe as they hit the bails the rest of the team smiles and celebrates a brilliant run, another fantastic performance from a team here in London today.

The standard has been so high that they have never done this before. They did it today for the first time and covered themselves in glory. They were so fast. and so determined and look at this, how spectacular it was. I just wonder if the front could go in first, the rear could go over it, but they did it, they did it with style, it was so spectacular, let's take a look. Can you

believe

it? So it's a giant peach-inspired soap box. It is made from a giant zorbing ball. That's how they got the peach. If you will have the right kind of balance.

We'll wait and see Andrews, the pilot team, dressed up as different guys. of fruit for a fruit salad at 26 for creativity this is interesting if it can stay balanced I don't know handlebar steering wheel thick wheels 40 out of 40 for performance so it bodes well for Berlin, but now they have to get it from above down at a good time through the water it's fast - you can see Andrew sang it from the gloomy depths of the front door Will he not make it through so much promise at the top and so much anguish after that? I can't believe it now, my word, they were starting to get really interesting there because they were so fast at the top that the wheels are totally flattened and built up under the grandstand and will just drag it the rest of the way, oh that's very disappointing for this. team, they got 40 out of 40 on top for performance, good creativity score too and it was good with that one bouncing all over the place, it was good, then they got to the wedge and this is where it all gets.

Flattened I just can't stand that look Hitting too high over the wedge Wheels bend under Bend under Can you believe it and that's it? Tell me where else because you expect to see this kind of engineering ingenuity and our farmer sees that's not the case. offer here today, let us know using the Red Bull Soapbox Race hashtag who catches your eye. We'll take a short break, but when we get back we'll have one last race today. Welcome back to the Red Bull Soapbox Race, where things are really looking up. Among our Daredevils downhill teams as they prepare to take on the toughest courses, next up is a team hoping to create their own legacy by bringing to the competition one of the most expensive boxes of soap we've ever seen.

I probably should. Don't touch it don't even look at it without touching that's meat team light runner hello I'm David runner okay oh give me a chocolate cake um but I'll do it I'm David and we're the team light runner in our In the team we have I I'm the driver, we have David, he's been designing it with me and then we have our two managers for our pit crew, Jason and Adam, we're interns, solid solutions and it was originally created as a learning project for us. The idea was to give them a project to use in the 3D software we produce.

We have modeled each of the components on computers, so the steering wheel will be 3D printed in carbon fiber. Ben's hands, so they should be perfectly shaped, are probably the most expensive box of soap ever created. The biggest challenge that day, I would say, is making sure they don't destroy a 2,000-pound car. We have carried out a kind of simulation. of the loads we expect and the kind of forces we actually go through, making sure that the survivors will actually keep track. I think you know where the simulation tests they have done in theory, does it work in practice, might be a different question. but it all comes down to your driving ability, really one theme is the trunk in the Tron movie, there is a car and it's called light racer and we have been very inspired by that car, so what we have done is take all the elements design and put it in a soapbox runner.

I'm really looking forward to driving it, obviously there's always a bit of nerves about crashing halfway, especially when we have the backing of the whole company, everyone knows it, so if we do it. Put it up, it won't go unnoticed, so this is the last piece of our puzzle, it's not a badge of honor and you will be delighted, this might be the most designed soap box we have ever seen. I mean how much work goes into this creativity score of 31 David and best interns at a lemmings and spa software company and it's inspired by the light car from the Tron movies, so even without the trophy With my name, they get 28 for the performance. this is sleek, it's aerodynamic, it's made for speed, it's made for endurance, the proof will now be there for all of us to see and it absolutely slides through the water fountain, starting to lose a little bit of control, though removes some of the weight, it was supposed to be a superstar soap box that resonated on this course set the fastest time and gave everyone the goal and Ben got it and nailed it right into the side of the wedge.

I think the common absolute right light runner team now we have the Zack and Jay perform on YouTube Stars Zack Alsop Jamie Ross Thorne are participating in the race today, so the monopoly based team says they don't have any DIY skills , so they decided to invest money in the design and tell us what they plan to share. thousand pounds in cash during the race, so there you have it, let's see what the Zack and Jay show here at Ally Pally can do today the 27th for the creative part of their performance. Come on, Jamis, the pilot, set off at a good speed of knots. well, here 31 for performance on the water, really fast, a little wobbly, but really fast is the wedge, is the word.

You managed to do it right there on time. Oh, I couldn't make it to the chicane, here they come tearing down the course to try. and put it back into a forward position, there we could, we can go again, okay, no real damage done, moving towards the bone rattle on the bone rattle. I think the steering positions that cause the biggest problem are only 17 miles per hour. much faster at the top before the crash kick ends we go out to the finish line, let's take a look at thefollow up although we celebrate the end Jamie will have fun and give a little more money, but he started so impressively at the top, absolutely flying through the water on the wedge, everything seemed fine and it shows that when you get a little wrong, everything can be ruined, that's where it happened between the bales in front of the spectators, so many people here today it's hard to recover.

This is a work of art oh yeah I mean it's exquisite it's amazing to look at but what a nerve it's going to happen well someone will be sitting on top of the steering wheel with the ropes through the window look at this , yeah, I mean, that's it. just incredible, it's crazy, I don't know if I want to see it properly, there you have to hold the brake that will go down the window and the pilot up here will press the brake using the mop and broom technique, I mean, if this works. It's quite a feat, it's incredible, yeah, I just don't know how I feel about it.

I'm nervous now, aren't I? No, everything will be fine. Yes, we have had an amazing few days running here at Alexandra Palace. Today we called some really memorable runs from our amazing teams and now it's time for the last team of the day to try and make their mark. Let's make it good. It is designed to look like mini Mr. Bean with a chair on top and the teddy bear behind the whale's belly. Paul and Ben make up the rest of the team now. John and Ben have done the Bangor rally, where you basically fix up an old car and take it around Europe, which was inspiring. them for this last challenge, so Ben, the co-pilot, just has to sit there and hope everything goes well, you can't see John, he's in there somewhere, the belly of the whale is a, they take off their shoes and then we review the words.

We're moving towards this bone rattle, I have to say Ben looks like he's having fun up there, the bone rattle is tied up at least, by the way, it's Ben's real legs, spinning around, five sweaty during that kick, No problem, it's a good race. forty-three point four two so another well-designed soap box, isn't it? I didn't realize until halfway through that they weren't actually Ben's own legs, it was only when they started doing the jumps and the shoes were going up and everything else, well I got a second, he's actually standing there , good race, through the belly of the whale, wow, what an epic day of racing we have had here at Alexandra Palace, the course never disappoints, the teams have given absolutely everything, it has been incredible.

I think we both have favourites, but it's not about that, what matters is the names on that all-important leaderboard and it's up to you to announce those final results, Darren Fletcher, so what an afternoon of racing we've had time to reveal results in reverse order today in third place the Apollo Kalitta team were excellent in terms of their performance Rob the driver did a fantastic job and the key for this team was that they were one of the few teams today to hit 30 miles per hour through the speed trap in second place it was a bumblebee fight this team was all about creativity gorgeous design wonderful details on the grandstand they weren't the fastest team today but they look good and took second place but this year's winners your Red Bull grandstand The London race champions are gas gas gas perfect combination wonderful creativity brilliant performance and they had the speed too well done gas gas gas well I'm joining your team of winners gasps gasps gasps can you?

I don't think be absolutely incredible. Well, in your experience, when you arrived this morning, did you really think you were going to go home with that trophy? I saw so many bright aspects. The engineering marvels of everyone here, what an experience, how incredible, incredible, so what do you think the secret was? that got you over the line that the major champions, the Pistons, feel ready, but the Pistons are incredible, top to bottom, absolutely crowd pleaser, they were actually a lovely touch and you know you're the driver, a lot of responsibility on your shoulders, how did you feel?

It was a wait, I'm telling you now it's all over for some reason, you weren't even meant to be the driver, no, I missed the first meeting, so they picked me, well, good job, you moved on, man, and what You are doing. What I'm going to do to celebrate tonight, guys, you're going to go crazy, okay, we'll leave you to that and while we're at it let's look at the highlights of your winning career, gasp, gasp, worthy champions here in London. I'm going to have to say that Canna and Barbara's Mean Machine were so fast they went flying, that jump went straight past me and it just shattered it as I hung it, it was amazing that you were afraid for your life again.

I did it a little bit, yes. What about the night? I'm going to say whale belly, but we looked down the shaft and we were thinking how they were going to get into that and yet it was the greatest sight to see Mr. Venus running down this course was something to behold, definitely a magnificent man. I love the fact that he was so tall and they failed spectacularly at the first obstacle directly in front. They were fine, they managed to get away, but it looked great. Yes, it will always happen. It's always going to happen sadly that's all from us here in London we hope you had as much fun as we did massive congratulations to all the teams who took part and who woke up today to one of the best soap box races ever times thanks to All the fans here and everyone watching at home from all of us at the 2019 Red Bull Soapbox race in London, bye.
