Dynamic Events

Each team's car must negotiate five dynamic events including Acceleration, Skidpad, Autocross, Endurance, and Efficiency. The Efficiency event is part of Endurance. Each event features four heats with the exception of Endurance, which only runs two heats. For each event completed, cars are awarded points based on their performance relative to the best car. Acceleration is a timed straight-line acceleration run. Skidpad features a figure-eight shaped course where teams aim to minimize the time it takes to complete both a left and right hand turn of constant radii. Autocross showcases the cars' abilities in deftly cornering through tight courses with a myriad of features. Endurance tests the cars' long-term viability. Usually a long, fast course, Endurance shows cars at peak performance for the longest period in competition.
