Chair racing in Germany

Apr. 26 - The first German Championships in Office Chair Racing took place in Bad Koenig-Zell on Saturday. 70 participants took the chance to bring their office chair out into the sunshine and put it through its paces.

The race down the Odenwaelder street was mainly downhill and involved starting on a steep ramp and racing over another ramp.

The only uniform rule was the obligatory crash helmet - and many people needed it. Dozens of the racers fell off their chairs, and many chairs didn't make it to the end of the 170 metre race intact.
