Soap Box - A test of design and courage


The "gravity racers" of the Scuderia Ferrari Club were back in action yesterday putting on a show at the Torino 2008 World Design Capital. The programme of the event, supported by the Scuderia Ferrari Club and promoted by the European Design Institute consisted of a exciting Soap Box race run down a Turin hill, over a distance of three kilometres, finishing in the Piazza Gran Madre.
Up against the cars entered in the championship for fans of the Prancing Horse, were vehicles created specially for the occasion by some of the best known names in car design.
The participants were judged according to two different criteria which meant there were two winners of the "Turin Dream Race.) "Nivola 3," entered by the Scuderia Ferrari Club of Sommariva completed the course in the shortest time, also taking top honours in an agility test along the way. First for style and innovation was "Nina" by TORINO DESIGN.
