Article 3- Brake & Acceleration Test:

F3.1- Overview

Brake test is a mandatory process, without passing this test vehicle will not be allowed to proceed further. Each vehicle will be

given 3 attempts to pass the brake test.

The vehicle have to accelerate at its maximum along a 50m track and then apply brake and stop the vehicle in the next length of

track i.e. 5 m.

The time taken by the vehicle for covering 50 m length will be considered to determine the acceleration of vehicle.

If the vehicle did not stop within the specified distance, the brake & acceleration test will not be cleared and team has to attempt

again.

If the team has cleared the brake test they may still take remaining attempts to improve their acceleration time.

F3.2- Scoring Formula:

Where:

Tshortest= fastest time by any vehicle

Tyours= time for the vehicle to be scored

Tlongest= Slowest time by any vehicle

Article 4- Weight Test:

The E-Bike must be kept on the Platform using the Centre Stand.

Only one driver and the Captain are allowed into the Weight Test Arena.

If any parts are removed from E-Bike before coming to weight test that may lead to the penalty for the team.

The E-Bike that has the lowest weight will be awarded “The Light Weight E-Bike Award”.

The scoring formula is :

Article 5- Autocross:

Auto cross is an endurance test. Here we will check the endurance of the vehicle in all manners. Vehicle’s manoeuvrability,

handling ease, ergonomics, manufacturing strength, safety will be checked out. It will combined with an integrated testing

mechanism that will also check the acceleration, braking, steering, cornering, overtaking capabilities of the vehicle without

hindering other vehicles movement.

Each team gets two attempts with same or different drivers. Best out of two attempt score will be taken into consideration.

Timings will be checked out using electronic system or stop watches.

Track Details will be given at the time of event.

The scoring Formula is as Follows:

Where:

TS = smallest time taken by any vehicle

TY = time for the vehicle to be scored

TL = maximum time taken by any vehicle
