Soapboxes will be racing around the streets of Douglas again in September and organisers are looking for people to enter.
The first ever Douglas soapbox race took place last September.
More than 25 homemade, non-motorised vehicles took to the course, racing down Upper Church Street to Barrack Street, against the stopwatch.
Soapbox designs included the Snaefell Mountain Railway, a rugby scrum, and Brum from the children’s television series.
The event provided thousands of spectators with hours of entertainment, and raised £2,900 for the Hyperbaric Chamber.
This year’s event will take place on Saturday, September 5, from 6pm.
The course remains the same, but soapbox drivers will have bigger jumps and tighter chicanes to contest with.
Prizes will once again be awarded for the fastest finisher, highest speed, outstanding design, scrapheap challenge, biggest jump and best crash.
Event organiser Elliott Moore said: ‘I’m delighted with how the 2014 event went.
‘It’s an event people are still talking about six months later. We have plenty of exciting additions up our sleeves for 2015. It’s going to bigger and better than ever.’
Entries are now open for the 2015 event.
The entry fees are £50 for private teams and £100 for corporate teams.
All proceeds will once again go to the {http://www.hyperbaric.im/Hyperbaric Chamber.}
