Xtreme Gravity Racing: Soapbox Derby meets Formula 1

“We had six corporate cars painted in the colours of the company and a lot of the future of XGR will be the growth of the corporate series – the design series will attract the leading edge designs and the corporate series gives big companies an opportunity to compete on the same track on the same day and make a family and teambuilding day of it all. “We’re pitching the corporate series as the next step in team building. As everyone in the team must drive, it’s a fantastic group learning exercise – when you’ve done the ropes courses and mountain climbing team exercises, XGR is the next group bonding experience.

“Next year we’ll have a new corporate race machine which will be designed by Pininfarina’s Marizio Corbi and hopefully we’ll have a lot more teams competing.

“While we’re on that subject, I’d like to thank Greenlight Financial, one of the six corporate race teams who helped make the whole event possible. Vince Pozzuoli of Green Light Loans was one of the key factors which enabled us to progress this year and his belief in the concept has been resolute.
