Ærøskøbing Grand Prix
Join us when the streets of Ærøskøbing are transformed into the traditional Ærøskøbing Grand Prix.
Every year, children from all over Denmark, and a few from abroad, participate in the Ærøskøbing Grand Prix, a popular soapbox race with an increasing number of participants each year.
That's not a problem, because that just means more soapbox cars are built. All the cars are built on Ærø, sponsored by Ærø companies and a single sponsor from Funen.
One by one, the children (aged 8 to 16 years) drive, carried only by the speed that the high ramp gives them - and driving skills!
The race can be run on a single day, or every day, from Monday to Thursday throughout week 42. Driving is daily between 9.00 - 12.00.
Monday is a test run on Smedevejen, Tuesday is a match race on Smedevejen, Wednesday is a slalom on Pilebækken and the race ends on Thursday with the grand finale on Omfartsvejen by Netto. Afterwards there will be a prize-giving ceremony at Det Gamle Værft.
