Push Car : The Bachelor Party Soapbox Challenge
Be real driving aces behind the wheel of your very own push car !
- For groups of 9 or more
Description
Cardboard, bamboo, a little boldness… and a group ready to do whatever it takes to win.
What if the groom-to-be got behind the wheel of a homemade racing car? With Push Car, your Lyon bachelor party soapbox challenge starts in the workshop and ends on the track. Each team builds its own car, then races against rival teams as they push their creations at full speed.
The whole activity takes place outdoors in Vernaison, just a 15-minute drive from Lyon.
Creative, fun and full of surprises, this is the perfect unusual activity near Lyon for groups who love building things as much as winning. A minimum of 9 participants is required, and the groom-to-be takes part for free with 10 or more participants.
The Push Car Challenge: The Stages
The Construction Workshop: Work together as a team to build the wildest and most effective racing car possible. All materials are provided, including bamboo, cardboard, wheels, threaded rods and screws.
The Accessories Shop: Horns, costumes, paint… Each team receives play tokens, casino-style, to negotiate its purchases. Dare you go all in on the shop’s exclusive collector’s outfit?
Practice Runs and the Final Sprint: After the practice runs, it’s time for the final sprint, cheered on by the other teams. Will your car hold up under pressure? Style or pure speed? The choice is yours!
- For groups of 9 or more
You’ll be split into two racing teams who will compete against each other throughout the activity!
First, you’ll be left to your own devices to build the frame of your vehicle. Then, you’ll be able to purchase accessories to customise it and make your racing car truly unique. Finally, the ultimate sprint will settle the score once and for all!
A trophy awaits the groom-to-be at the end of the activity!
