"The innovative concept of the RED BULL SOAPBOX RACE will surely cause a stir in the Racing genre on mobile and the iPhone / iPod touch®", says Christopher Kassulke, CEO of HandyGames™.
The RED BULL SOAPBOX RACE is a challenge for leaders and thinkers alike. Slip into zany outfits and compete against the wildest teams in your home-made soapbox.

Only then will you be transformed from an also-ran to a high-flyer, and make it onto the Red Bull Soapbox Race winner’s podium.
