2.General rules of the competition

2.1

The aim of the competition is to achieve from a standing start the highest top speed by the end of 1 mile (ca 1609 m) or ½ mile (ca 805 m) distance. The rules are the same for both distances.

In case of forced induction (incl N2O) the displacement will be multiplied with 1,7. If all circumstances are similar or if there is an ambiguity regarding the results, the Chief Referee may require an additional racing attempt. If one competitor forfeits, the one that completes the racing attempt wins.
