Dynamic Events

Skid Pad: (5%) This event tests the cornering capability of the race car. The car must travel around a figure-eight formation as fast as possible without knocking over any of the cones that outline the course.

Acceleration: (7.5%) This event tests the ability for the vehicle to accelerate from rest over a 250-foot distance. The fastest out of four runs is recorded.

Autocross: (15%) After being allowed to walk the course for a set amount of time, drivers must maneuver the car through the tight turns and slaloms. Any cones knocked over count as penalties. Each team is granted four attempts, of which the fastest lap time is recorded.

Endurance/Fuel Economy: (40%) This brutal 22-kilometer race tests the limits of both car and driver. There is one mandatory stop for a driver change at the halfway point. Fuel economy is calculated and compared with other cars at the finish. Only cars that cross the finish line can score any points.
