2 Signal Regiment have taken to the sloping cobbles of Micklegate for the annual soap box race in York.

They went head to head against scores of hand built go karts including a chariot, a coffin and a replica Noddy car.

Vehicle mechanic , Craftsman Naill Coyne, was in the driving seat for the Army.

But admitted to Chris Kaye the team didn't have much construction time.
