I have taken a closer look at the 'Red Bull Box Cart Race London' box cart, which is too unique and free, such as 'Top Gun' fighters, running remote offices, and 'Fort Knight' battle buses.

You can understand the state of the main tournament by reading the following article.
I've seen the 'Red Bull Box Kart Race' in London, England, where you can run through slopes at explosive speed even if it breaks with your own unique kart. Report --GIGAZINE
The venue, Alexandra Palace, opens at 10:30 local time. The spectators who enter one after another are heading to the backyard where the cars scheduled to participate are lined up.
The spectators gathered at the box cart to watch, shooting and calling out.
That's why when I was looking around the backyard, I was curious about the team 'TOP GUN' with the motif of the movie '
A sheet was attached to the tent attached to the booth so that it looked like an aircraft carrier.
The main character Maverick and his partner Goose, who were on the same fighter in the play, are wearing goose clothes instead of pilot clothes. In a box kart race, up to two people can ride in a box kart.
Top Gun team heading to the starting point of the race.
You can see how Maverick and Goose actually ran the race in the following movie. The race will be evaluated comprehensively based on the performance at the start, the creativity of the box kart, and the race time to run through the 420m course. Not only the running of the course, but also the performance by the start team is the highlight of the box kart race, and the points given by the judges on the spot will greatly excite the venue.

And when you look at the F-14 of TOP GUN, which explodes on a 420m long course, from the pilot's point of view, it looks like this. The TOP GUN team seems to have had little air resistance because they finished the box cart into a fighter type, and it will explode at nearly 30 mph (about 48 km).

Next is a box cart with a huge Nyan Cat motif. The team name is 'Nyan Cart'.

The cart was designed by a 5-year-old daughter of a man from Oxford. A man who decided on a flashy orange suit commented, 'Nyan Cat is popular in Japan too! Please support me!'
'A British TV commentator said,'Thicker undercarriage is more stable,' so I did that!'
The part to sit on is like this.
The place where Nyan Cart, not Nyan Cat, explodes the race is as follows. The eyes of Nyan Cart are designed to move cutely, and you can see how the eyes move during the performance before the start.

The course is curved and the driver has to operate the steering wheel while descending the course at a tremendous speed. In addition, a total of four types of obstacles are prepared, and the driver can choose whether to overcome the obstacles or avoid the obstacles and aim to shorten the time. Nyan Cart cleared obstacles halfway and ran through the course, but he failed to turn the steering wheel on the way and collided with the wall. Still, I dragged the cart by hand and reached the goal.

Below is a movie of Nyan Cart's race pattern from the driver's perspective. You can see the moment when it hits the wall and the audience warmly cheering up to the goal with applause.

Among the many unique carts, the one that caught my eye was the 'TEAM GO-KART-O' box cart. It's a very simple cart, but for some reason a desk is set up on the cart, and a PC and a can of Red Bull are placed on it.
When I asked the creator, he said, 'Remote work is the theme!' A Dell monitor on the desk had an online conference on 'How to Win a Red Bull Box Kart Race'. Also, in honor of the race in London, Queen Elizabeth II, who had just celebrated her 70th anniversary, was adorned with a photo of
The driver's upper body is a suit, but the lower body is only underwear. This is a story that 'remote work only shows the upper body, so it doesn't matter if the lower body is still in underwear.'
The following movie shows the race of such 'TEAM GO-KART-O'. The setting that sits in the driver's seat is 'a pet dog owned by a remote worker'.

The bus with the giant balloons of the team 'Come What Mae' was the first battle bus for players to board in the popular game 'Fort Knight'.
'LOADING ……' in front of the car
The main body of the box cart is the bus part.
The balloons on the roof of the bus are real.
Inside the bus, there were many handwritten messages sent by children.
In fact, Come What Mae is participating in the Red Bull Box Kart Race London as a charity project for a children's hospital. What is affixed to the inside of the box cart is a message of support from the children in the children's hospital.
When I pointed the camera at the marshmello that was there, he showed me an emote dance.
The exterior of the Come What Mae bus broke a lot the moment it crossed the last obstacle in the actual race, but the box kart itself did not break and it was able to run to the end.

Next, the entry number 1 team 'Hagrid Flyers' produced a box cart with the motif of a flying motorcycle borrowed from Sirius by the big man Hagrid in the movie '
A stuffed servant fairy Dobby was attached to the handle.
The sidecar part looks like this. It took more than a month to make a box cart, and the production cost is about 5,000 pounds (about 800,000 yen).
The box cart must have four wheels according to the regulations of the tournament, but because it is a 'flying bike', it is a device to hide the four wheels in the sky part and make it look like running on a motorcycle. thing. If you look closely, the muffler part is made of Red Bull cans.
There are 4 team members. The far left seems to be '
The maximum size of the cart is specified as 4m in total length x 1.5m in total width x 2m in total height. The box cart of 'Day of the Evil Bed' is close to this maximum size, and it is probably the largest box cart that I participated in this time.
The driver of the cart was dressed in a costume inspired by the leatherface of the movie 'The
And what is tied to the bed is Regan, a girl possessed by the devil in the movie 'The
You can see how the biggest box kart will run in this race in the following movie.

The team is a colleague who works for a camera-related company, and it took five weeks to produce it. The production cost was 3,000 pounds (about 480,000 yen), and most of it was spent on the undercarriage.
The costume is also like an astronaut's suit, and it is decided. All of these costumes are also handmade.
Martian Madness's Mars rover was also made with an emphasis on undercarriage, showing stable running ...

Cross the last obstacle and reach the goal line. However, all the tires on the side of the rover were blown away.
