Description
Cardboard, bamboo, daring… and a group of friends ready to do whatever it takes to win.
What if the bride-to-be got behind the wheel of a homemade racing car? With Push Car, your bachelorette party soapbox car challenge in Lyon starts in the workshop and ends on the racetrack. Each team builds its own car, then pushes it at full speed against the rival teams.
Everything 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 of friends who love building things as much as winning. A minimum of 9 participants is required, and the bride-to-be goes free with 10 or more participants.
The stages of the Push Car challenge
The building workshop: Working as a team, pull together to build the craziest and most efficient racing car possible. All the materials are provided: bamboo, cardboard, wheels, threaded rods and screws.
The accessories shop: Horns, costumes, paint… Each team receives fake tokens, just like casino chips, to bargain for their purchases. Dare you go all in on the shop’s one-of-a-kind costume?
The test runs and final sprint: After the test runs, it’s time for the final sprint, with the other teams cheering you on. Will your car hold up? Elegance or pure speed: every team has its own strategy!
- 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 !
