27 iv. Seat belt-seat belt are setup proper way. v. No sharp edges- There is no sharp edge at end point or at the joints. VI. Final Round a. Static event. i. Technical Inspection- The objective of Technical Inspection is to ensure safety and security of the driver with the vehicle. In this round, vehicle technical aspects will be crosschecked with the rulebook and pre-ti sheet of the teams. ii. Cost report- All the team manufacture your kart with limit of cost Rs /- at the time of TI verify the cost report with the real vehicle. Who have minimum cost get rewarded. iii. Business plan, marketing and sales presentation - The objective of this round is to manufacture and sale 1000 units/annum with a best business & marketing strategy. 27

28 iv. Design evaluation-the objective of this round is to verify design and manufacturing of the vehicle along with the technical knowledge of the team as per the specifications provided in their submitted report. The vehicle which covers a minimum of 20 laps in the final endurance round will only be eligible for Best Design Award. v. Weight Test- As soon as the Team successfully completes their T.I. then the entire weight of the vehicle without driver will be measured and recorded, The Vehicle having weighing more than 160 Kgs will not be allowed to participate in any of the Dynamic Rounds. The vehicle which covers a minimum of 20 laps in the final endurance round will only be eligible for Light Weight Award. Weight test score=points (W H W Y ) / (W H -WL) Where: WH = Weight of heaviest vehicle. WY = Weight of your vehicle. WL = Weight of lightest vehicle. vi. Performance check- At the time of technical inspection kart will be checked. By the technical inspector. vii.. Innovation- 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. 28

29 b. Dynamic and Endurance Events. i. Brake Test : For participation in further rounds of dynamic event it is mandatory to clear the brake test, in this teams have to run their vehicle for a flat run of 35m and will have to stop this vehicle in specified range, during the end of 35 m flat run vehicle speed must be at least 25 kmph. There will be no marks for this and each vehicle will be given to 3 attempts to pass brake test after failing in previous two chances. ii. Acceleration Test Acceleration determines the time it takes the vehicle to accelerate along 35m flat course. Vehicle will have 3 attempts of acceleration runs. The fastest run in 3 attempts will be the recorded acceleration time. It is permissible for one driver to make all the acceleration runs. Procedure Each team may make (3) attempts with different or same drivers. Scoring will be based on the better of the 3 attempts. Timing may be done using either electronic systems or stop watches. Scoring will be done according to formula given below: Acceleration score = points x [(Tlongest Tyours)/ (Tlongest Tshortest)] 29

30 iii. Skid Pad test The objective of the skid-pad event is to measure the vehicle s cornering ability on a flat surface while making a constant-radius turn. Each team will get 2 attempts. 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 20m apart. The inner circles will be 16 m in diameter, and the outer circles will be m in diameter. The driving path will be the 2.5 m (9.84 feet) path between the inner and outer circles. The vehicles will enter and exit through gates on a 2.5 m 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 circle from the start/stop line and returning to the start/stop line. 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). Skid Pad score =point x [(Tlongest Tyours)/ (Tlongest iv. Autocross Test The objective of the autocross event is to evaluate the vehicle's manoeuvrability 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. The vehicle will be staged such that the front wheels are 2 m behind the starting line. The timer starts only after the vehicle crosses the start line. Cones or tyres Down Or Out- Three (3) seconds per cone, including any after the finish line. Autocross Score =points x [(Tlongest Tyours)/ (Tlongest Tshortest)] 30

31 v. Endurance- This round is to check the performance of the vehicle on road for continuous duration of 1 hours. Guidelines- If any vehicle gets stopped in between the track, nearby volunteers will help to move the vehicle aside of the track after which driver can again restart the vehicle with necessary adjustments, no other team member will be allowed inside the track. Procedure for Drivers change (optional): In order to make a drivers change 1 st driver has to enter into driver change area/lane and should halt his vehicle at the prescribed position (which will be mentioned at the time of final event) without killing/stopping the engine.as soon as the 1 st driver comes out of the vehicle 2 nd diver can step in but he/she can only leave the driver change area after the completion of mandatory checks for helmet and spilling of fuel. Drivers can change as many times as they need but no time bonus will be allowed for drivers change, it will be a part of the race time. Organizing team is not at all responsible for any accidents of the vehicles during the complete event, and the teams has no right to claim or blame the organizers for such cases. Endurance Score = points [(Lc)/ (Hc)] Where- Lc= Number of laps covered by your vehicle. Hc= Highest number of laps covered by any vehicle. The dynamic events are scored to determine how well a Kart performs. Each dynamic event has specified minimum acceptable performance levels that are reflected in the scoring equations. The following points are possible: 31
