Last summer, in a spectacular weekly task, the big brother housemates had to build three HPI Savage SS kits and then race them against each other!

Now it’s winter and the HPI cars will be in action again!! On a
specially prepared 20m x 10m ice oval track, the two teams in the
house will race against each other – “model car ice speedwayâ€
on telly!!! Each team will run three cars in team colours: “Team
Richâ€, blue cars and “Team Normalâ€, red cars. For the live TV
production environment is was especially important that the cars
are very reliable and easy to drive for the housemates who have not
driven a RC car before. High quality HPI cars were the choice of
the production company Endemol in Germany. Six normal Super
Electric kits will run in the match. The cars will be equipped with
water proof LRP electronics and especially prepared tyres with a
sand paper surface. Other than that they will be box standard
HPI Super EP kits.
Especially prepared HPI Super EPs on ice, test
driving for the big brother match!
After the match you will have to win one of the cars running in the
house. There will be an online raffle on www.big-brother.de
and a live raffle on TV later on. You can follow the action on the
web or on tele – stay tuned: Web: www.big-brother.de
