Registration of the boxes begins on Sunday, 1 May, 10 a.m. The TÜV team will check whether the vehicles are roadworthy shortly before the final start at 1 pm. Safety instructions can be found on the SpaceKidHeadCup website at https://skhc.de/.

Party: Advance booking of tickets & daily test

From 9 p.m. onwards, there will again be a jubilee party in the old Funkhaus to celebrate the pilots in a fitting manner. Tickets for this can be purchased at Kontor Stift in the M18 for 7.50 Euros. A daily negative corna test will be required, but the organising team will offer an opportunity for official testing on location at the race.

Soapbox Building Workshop on Saturday, 23 April, and Sunday, 24 April, from 11 a.m. each day

The race has always been organised by students on a voluntary basis and can only be held thanks to the many great volunteers. This year too, on the weekend before the race, there will be a soapbox-building workshop in the backyard of the Van-de-Velde Building (Geschwister-Scholl-Strasse 7), run by students of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Here, wild-eyed pilots with less experience can find helping hands, thinking heads and suitable materials (recycled, of course).

Volunteers wanted

If you can lend your own helping hand with the set-up and dismantling of the party or the soapbox race, please contact the organising team by e-mail to skhc[at]kulturtragwerk.de. But the SpaceKidHeadCup is not only supported by the students; the mayor of Weimar has also pledged his support in advance: "In the meantime, the soapbox race has become an integral part of Weimar's cultural scene," says Peter Kleine.

Why the »SpaceKidHeadCup« is called what it is called

Incidentally, the original name of the race, »SpaceKidHeadCup«, is derived from the first Weimar soapbox race that took place as a tribute to Juri Gagarin's flight into space. Even if the pilots of the soapbox race don't have the path to space ahead of them, they are still reaching for the stars. This makes for impressive machines every year, many of which have little to do with the classic »soapbox«. We are looking forward to this year's boxes!

The organising team would like to thank:
the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, the StuKo of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the StuRa of the Hochschule für Musik FRANZ LISZT Weimar, the city of Weimar and the Kommunalservice Weimar, the Autohaus Schinner, the Studierendenwerk Thüringen and Koppe, OMEGA, the Johannitern, the KulturTragWerk e.V. and, of course, the enthusiastic visitors!
