The car must pass all the safety inspections before it can
compete in the dynamic events. Dynamic events are the ones that award most of
the points and as a result are considered the more important of the two types
of points scoring events. There are 5 dynamic events:
• Acceleration: This is to test a cars acceleration on a 75m
straight which the teams aim to complete in the fastest time possible.
• Skid-pad: This tests the cars cornering stability as it
drives around a constant radius figure of 8 turn in the fastest time possible.
This tests a cars grip and cornering ability, in addition to stability during
body roll.
• Sprint or Autocross: Fastest lap of a 0.8km circuit which
again attempts to evaluate vehicles handling characteristics.
• Endurance: Where the car is raced for 22km to test
reliability, handling stability, suspension vehicle dynamic design and build
quality. If any part of the car fails, or fluid leaks then it is disqualified.
Fuel economy is also gauged and scored accordingly. This is the toughest
challenge and many teams do not pass, however as this is the event where the
most points are awarded, it must be a priority to complete it reliably and as
fast as possible.
