It’s official – grown ups love the PlasmaCar as much as kids. Not that we at PlasmaCar HQ need to be reminded of this, as we are unanimous in our feelings towards the amazing ride on toy. However, it’s always great to see that we are not alone in our enthusiasm. On the contrary, it seems that on the other side of the pond, where the PlasmaCar has been available for a few years, the PlasmaCar has built up a very loyal and often grown up fan base.
One such fan is Ed Shipul, the CEO and President of Schipul – The Web Marketing Company. Clearly a man who appreciates the value of creating a positive and fun company culture, the PlasmaCar has become an integral part of this, with an annual PlasmaCar race taking place as part of the Thanksgiving Celebrations.
Ed explains: “The Plasma Car races on the roof of the 5 story parking garage behind the office building of our offices started in 2007. One of the partners at Schipul is Jennifer Carr Brooks who had purchased a car for her son. She brought one up to the office along with a few others that she borrowed, and after our annual Thanksgiving feast led the company in our first ever parking-garage-rooftop-plasma-car races! It has become a fun, interesting, and sometimes knee-scraping addition to our company culture.”
And the photos clearly show how much fun is had by the members of staff at Schipul! What an inspiring way to bring some fun into the workplace, the benefits of which will undoubtedly be felt all year round.

As a competitor for two years running, there may be an office revolt if the races aren’t held. The competition is stiff, the track grueling, but at the end of the day, you’re a better person for it.
Highly recommended for all ages!
