to manufacture the vehicle with pre-planned strategies so that the vehicle would be able to
compete in several tasks and tests.
In the static test event while examining the vehicle, judges may throw questions on any of the
team members. The team members are advised to be prepared with the vehicle. Every team is
required to present a hard copy of the vehicle documents during this event.
The innovation done in the vehicle in Virtual Round will be discussed with the team and its
working will be examined by the technical inspectors in the respective paddock of the teams.
Team needs to present innovation report at the time of explaining the innovation. The innovation should be working and not just the concept.
Working Innovation
Need of the Innovation
Effectiveness of the Innovation
Supporting Paper work
Scope of Future Use

After successfully completing this event, teams will receive a DA OK sticker. Teams are
advised to keep sufficient space on front bodywork for three such stickers.

6.1.2

Cost Report Presentation

The cost report will be verified for the actual cost of the components and systems used in
the fabricated kart. The cost of the components/systems mentioned in the cost report must not
vary with that of used in the vehicle. Teams will have to justify the cost report.

6.1.3

Technical Inspection

Before the dynamic event there will be TI (technical inspection) which does not carry any
points but is necessary for participating in dynamic event. TI will be based on rulebook parameter and safety checks of the vehicle. The team will be allowed only 2 chances for the TI test
19

failing which the team will be considered disqualified for the dynamic events. After qualifying
TI, teams will get TI OK sticker without which teams will not be allowed to participate in
Dynamic Events. The vehicle will be compared with the TI sheet and Final Design submitted
during the Pre-Final Phase. Deviating up to 10% is acceptable but on further deviations teams
will be penalized accordingly.

6.2
6.2.1

Dynamic Test
Brake Test

Its mandatory for a vehicle to pass the brake test to participate in any of the dynamic events.
The teams will be given BT OK sticker after successful qualification. The teams will need all 3
stickers to participate in further dynamic rounds. The vehicle should run at minimum 30km/hr
on a straight track. Two consecutive lines would be made at distance 20m. The vehicle after
crossing the second line will be allowed to apply brakes. The vehicle should stop before the
third line which will be at distance of 10m from the second line. Also the vehicle should stop
in a straight line without losing control.
Note: Brake Test wont carry any points, but its mandatory for a vehicle to pass the test
to go for any of the dynamic event.

6.2.2

Acceleration Test

Objective-Acceleration determines the time it takes the vehicle to accelerate along 30m
flat course with two lines marking the start and end of it.
Procedure- Each team may make two (2) attempts but with or without different drivers.
Scoring will be based on the better of the two attempts. Timing will start as soon as the front
wheels cross the first line. Minimum and maximum time would be marked as a standard and
all other vehicles will be given marks accordingly.
Scoring: The score for the acceleration event is spread between zero (0) and seventy-five (75)
based upon the elapsed time. The following equation is used to determine the scores for the
event:

ACCELERAT ION SCORE =

(90x(Tmax /Tyour ) 1)
+ 10
((Tmax /Tmin ) 1)

(6.1)

Where:
Tyour is the best corrected elapsed time for the team including penalties.
Tmin is the elapsed time of the fastest car.
Tmax is the elapsed time of the slowest car.
In the above equation, the first term on the right hand side is performance points, while
the second term represents completion points, or the minimum score for having successfully
completed the event. DNF = zero (0) points

6.2.3

Skip Pad Test

Objective- The objective of the skid-pad event is to measure the Kart cornering ability on
a flat surface while making a constant-radius turn.
Skid Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in a figure of eight pattern.
The centres of these circles will be 7.5m apart. The inner circles will be 4 m in diameter, and
the outer circles will be 9 m in diameter. The driving path will be the 2.5 m path between the
20

inner and outer circles. The vehicles will enter and exit through gates on a 2m wide path that is
tangential to the circles where they meet. The line between the centres of the circles defines the
start/stop line. A lap is defined as travelling around one (1) of the circles from the start/stop
line and returning to the start/stop line.
Procedure- The vehicles will enter perpendicular to the figure eight and will have to take two
full lap of the figure of eight track.
NOTE: Each team may make two (2) attempts may or may not with different drivers. Scoring
will be based on the better of the two attempts. Timing may be done using either electronic
systems or stop watches.
Penalties:
a.) Cones Down Or Out- A penalty of 2 seconds will be added to the time for every cone
that is knocked down or out (including gate cones).
b.) DNF- Vehicles that spin-out can continue as long as they have not gone off course or
else will be classified as DNF.
c.) Incorrect Laps- Vehicles that do not follow procedure, i.e. run an incorrect number of
laps or run the Laps in the wrong sequence will be classified as DNF.

The following equation is used to determine the scores for the skid-pad event:
SkidP adScore =

120x(Tmax /Tyour )2
+5
(Tmax /Tmin )2

(6.2)

Where:
Tyour is the average of the left and the right timed laps on your best run including penalties.
Tmin is the elapsed time of the fastest car.
Tmax is the elapsed time of slowest car
The first term on the right-hand side of the equation represent performance points, while the
second term represents completion points, or the minimum score for having successfully completed the event.Negative performance points will not be given. However, 5 points will be given

21

for a car that completes a run.

6.2.4

Autocross

Objective- The objective of the autocross event is to evaluate the vehicles maneuverability and handling qualities on a tight course without the hindrance of competing vehicles. The
autocross course will combine the performance features of acceleration, braking, and cornering
into one event.
Procedure- The vehicle will be staged such that the front wheels are 3 m (19.7 feet) behind
the starting line. The timer starts only after the vehicle crosses the start line. There will be
no particular order of the vehicles to run each heat. The organizer will determine the allowable
windows for each heat and retains the right to adjust for weather or technical delays. NOTE:
Each team may make two (2) attempts but with or without different drivers. Scoring will be
based on the better of the two attempts. Timing may be done using either electronic systems
or stop watches.
Autocross Scoring Formula: The following equation is used to determine the autocross
score:

AU T OCROSSSCORE =

(140x(Tmax /Tyour ) 1)
+ 10
((Tmax /Tmin ) 1)

(6.3)

Where:
Tmin is the lowest corrected elapsed time recorded for any competitor in either heat
Tmax is the highest corrected elapsed time recorded for any competitor in any heat.
Tyour is the best corrected elapsed time in either heat for the team being scored.
In the equation above, the first term on the right hand side represents performance points,
while the second term, or completion points represents the minimum score for having successfully completed the event.
Negative performance points will not be given. However, 10 points will be given for a car that
completes a run.
Penalties Cones Down Or Out- Two (2) seconds per cone. This includes cones before the start line
and after the finish line.

Endurance Scoring Formula: The following equation is used to determine the endurance
score:
EnduranceScoring =

250x(1 (Smin /Syour ))

+ 50
(1 (Smin /Smax ))

(6.4)

Where:
Smin is the minimum recorded laps by a team
Smax is the maximum number of laps recorded by a team.
Syour is the laps recorded by your team
In the equation above, the first term on the right hand side represents performance points, while
the second term, or completion points represents the minimum score for having successfully
completed the event.
Negative performance points will not be given. However, 50 points will be given for a car that
completes a run.
Endurance Minimum Speed Requirement- The car should maintain a minimum speed
of 25 Km/hr.
