Red Bull Formulaz, the traditional wooden car competition of the Black Sea region, will be held on Sunday, August 27, in Tunca town of Rize's Ardeşen district, as it is every year.
Red Bull Formulaz, which will be organized jointly by Red Bull, Formulaz Association and Tunca Municipality, will determine the fastest name in the Black Sea for the 14th time. Known as the biggest race of wooden cars, Red Bull Formulaz will once again offer unforgettable and exciting moments to both participants and spectators with its unique rules and fun track.
Wooden cars, which were produced in the early 1900s to go down from high points faster and later became popular with the intense use of the public, will appear in the race to be held in Tunca town of Rize's Ardeşen district on August 27 this year. Competitors coming from all over Turkey will try to complete the 1.6-kilometer track in the shortest time possible, reaching a speed of 60-70 kilometers per hour in places, with their own interesting wooden cars.
Downhill racing without brakes
The dimensions of the vehicles, which are all wooden and handmade, will be limited to 170 x 70 centimeters. Wheel heights cannot exceed 25 centimeters in vehicles that must have a steering wheel and four wheels for steering. Vehicles without engines will move downhill with gravity. Another feature of Red Bull Formulaz that keeps the Black Sea culture alive is the bristle socks and black rubber shoes that all competitors must wear.
Young and old will show off their skills
Red Bull Formulaz, where participants over the age of 40 compete in a separate category, is open to anyone over the age of 18. Anyone who has a wooden car, who trusts his creativity and speed, can apply at RedBull.com/formulaz to experience this excitement.
