Soapbox cars

Avenue de France | 10h - 15h | Animation

Zoom down Avenue de France at top speed in a soapbox car that’s as bumpy as it is streamlined. One thing’s for sure, even with a helmet on, this ride is going to blow you away!

Translation to English:
An introduction to soapbox racing in an iconic location in Geneva—”yes” is the answer! Experience the unparalleled thrill of racing down Avenue de France in a small vehicle without any mechanical propulsion. Navigate a course filled with obstacles to avoid, all while enjoying the breathtaking view of the harbor.
Around twenty soapbox cars will be available on-site.
For obvious safety reasons, this activity is intended for those over 7 years old.

Each participant’s attire must be suitable for racing, specifically:

  • Long clothing (pants and a sweater)
  • Closed shoes (such as sneakers)
  • Gloves
  • A full-face helmet, available on-site

An event organized by the City of Geneva, in collaboration with the soapbox associations of the municipalities of Corsier and Versoix.
