Team Shalati was able to win first place after scoring the highest
number of points to take home the championship cup and a trip to watch a
Formula 1 race in addition to 500 JDs by Zain Cash! Second place went to Team
Abdeen Grand Stores, which put on a show that was also praised by the judges,
while the third place went to Team Cars.
The participants stood out by their unique costumes and innovative
cars in the strangest race of its kind in the world, which returned to Amman
with some of the zaniest vehicle designs, including a shawarma sandwich, a
water tank, a spaceship and a king size bed! The non-engine vehicles zoomed
down the sloped track, relying exclusively on gravity, while the drivers tried
to overcome the track full of curves and artificial barriers as quickly as
possible.
39 teams of individuals, companies, and a few social media influencers
participated, including Abdallah Tahan, Omar Aburob, Saad Zaghloul, and Maya
Abdallah.
The performance of the participating teams was evaluated based on
three criteria: speed in crossing the track, presentation on the platform, and
soapbox design. The well-known actress Yara Mustafa, Red Bull Athlete Ahmed
Daham, and content creators Omar Zorba and Natalia ‘Ajnabeye’ took over the
task of judging the 2023 edition. Aya Al Khayat presented the event with
Haitham Al Baroudi, who opened the race with a Ro’ya team car, and Dana
Tarawneh from Bliss 104.3.
