The Sun's TV Biz editor, Colin Robertson, says he "didn't even touch the dodgy brakes" of the kart he drove to respectable scores of 9/8/8/8 from judges at the Red Bull Soapbox race at London's Alexandra Palace on Sunday. Robertson, racing in a go-kart with a cockpit he described as "papier-mache dung", led a team called "Take a Hit from the Dung". After successfully landing three jumps in the wacky race Robertson has pledged to keep the kart for a potential re-run next year, with the paper summing up the caper with the headline "Dung and dusted". Freesheet Metro also fielded a team, although their Metrosaurus cart spectacularly crashed near the end of the route. The team's Mei Rider said optimistically: "We got eight out of 10, even though we ran over the dinosaur's head."
