‘Competition’ Format
As described in the rules, you need to be part of a registered team in order to race, this is not a public-participation event.
Points will be awarded by moxie (spectator vote) and race finish position, with those with the most points getting medals at the end of the weekend. See the rules for more details
We usually aim to have at least 12 races over a weekend, with hopefully more as battery capacity, charging and weather conditions allow. Fast chargers and spare batteries let you have more fun!
Course
The course may be off road, on grass/dirt, on tarmac or even indoors! It will be marked out by traffic barriers, cones, plastic tote boxes or hay bales, with a separate barrier to separate the crowd form the track. We may also run drag racing, slalom or top speed side events.
Setup
There will be a pits area for repairs and battery charging, generally under our own 4.5m event shelters.
There will be a tech check and qualifying before racing to ensure vehicles are safe.
