A FUN Teambuilding Event

"Wacky Races"

Wacky Races is a great fun team building event, fast paced and with an exciting finale. From the start, each team is encouraged to communicate, work together and tap into their artistic flair by having to dress a pedal go-kart to look like something else.The event ends with the teams racing against each other in their various classes. The winners from each class race each other in the grand finale.

Fun Team Building with "A role for everyone".

Whether a designer, builder, driver, decorator, negotiator or haggler for sponsorship, there is something for everyone. The fun event focuses on trust, teamwork and communication and is carried out in an environment of fun, laughter and excitement as the karts take to the track.

Duration: 1 ½ - 3 hours
Location: Outdoors and indoors (dependent on space parameters)

The goal of each team is to design and build a specified class of vehicle and then compete in ludicrously fun and exciting races. Initially, the participants are split into groups of teams. (E.g. 80 participants split into 2 groups of 4 teams.) Each team is allocated space in which to work, the chassis of a pedal go-kart, some basic construction materials and a brief describing the class of vehicle they have to design and build. (Example: a train, boat, house or animal). Each team will be given specific design criteria they must incorporate in to their build, according their class of vehicle.They also have to build a towable trailer, which is capable of transporting empty boxes around the racecourse in the final races.The teams can buy the additional building materials they require from the trackside shop using ‘Fun Money’.

‘Fun Money’ can be earned during the game in various ways such as successful sponsorship deals.
Each race is in a relay race format. With each lap completed the team must swap drivers and add another box to the trailer. As the load grows so does the excitement and chaos as the trailers become more unbalanced.
Time penalties are issued for misconduct on the track during racing.
During the races the teams are cheering each other on (or not!) which creates an electric atmosphere.
The rules to the races can be set according to the client’s needs. This adds further excitement as strict marshalling could result in teams being penalised.
There are additional tasks to add to this event such as the ‘Skill Driving Challenge’, ‘Design Show’ and the ‘Sponsorship Challenge’.
