A soapbox car (also variously known as a soapbox cart, and especially in Australia, billy cart) is a motorless vehicle capable of holding a driver (usually a child) built for the purpose of racing or recreation. Propelled by gravity, soapbox cars can reach upwards of 50 km/h (30 miles per hour). Originally, soapbox cars were built from orange crates and rollerskate wheels, but have grown more sophisticated over time, with materials like aluminum and fiberglass being utilized.

The Catterline Cartie Challenge is a competition for homemade soapbox carts held annually in Catterline, near Stonehaven, Scotland. It is part of the Catterline Gala Weekend and is held annually on the second Sunday in June.
It was first held in 2005, when 11 soapbox carts (or "carties", as they are known locally) were entered. The number of entries has grown in subsequent years, and in 2007 there were 21 carties taking part.
