Pictures as thousands watch Krazy Races in Warrington town centre

The downhill soapbox derby took place between 10am and 5pm.

They consisted of more than 40 teams building and racing their own go-karts downhill while tackling the track with chicanes, obstacles, water, and more.

And the go-karts were certainly innovative, ranging from a self-storage container to a cake to a pool table.

Bridge Street was lined with spectators who spent the day cheering on the racers.

While crowds of people gathered at Time Square and Old Marketplace to watch the racing on TV screens.

Plenty of prizes were given out, but the winner was team The Sprinklers whose fasted lap time was an impressive 16.80 seconds.

In second place was team What Could Possibly Go Wrong at 17.92 seconds, and in third was SK Bombardiers at 18.12 seconds.

Other prizes included the likes of best designed kart and public vote award.

The event was brought by Warrington Business Improvement District (BID), in partnership with Sarah Belcher Events Ltd.
