Each race was timed to rank the teams none of the events were head-to-head races.
In the endurance race, the car had to withstand the stress of long-term driving at elevated speeds. A one-lap autocross event proved the car’s maneuverability on a tight course and determined the starting order for the final event, an endurance race to prove durability. An acceleration test measured the car’s speed over a short distance. During the competition, a skidpad event tested the car’s turning and cornering on a figure-eight-shaped course.
The competition involved rigorous testing of vehicles’ engineering and capabilities on the race track. The event challenged collegiate teams from around the world to design, build and operate Formula One-style racecars.
