DYNAMIC EVENT

The Dynamic Event consists of three stages; Static Test, Dynamic Test and the Endurance Test.Participating teams are suggested to take hard copy of all the documents and reports at the time ofdynamic event, anything can be asked by the judges to show and failure in showing will result failure inthe respective test.

7.1. Static Tests-

7.1.1. Design Report VS Vehicle Analysis- The vehicle will be verified with the design report and noteven a single alteration would be entertained in the vehicle from the design report.

7.1.2. Cost Report VS Vehicle Cost- The cost report will be verified the actual cost of the componentsand systems used in the vehicle at the time of Dynamic Event. The cost of the components/systemsmentioned in the cost report must not vary with that of used in the vehicle.

7.1.3. Manufacturing Level- Good engineering practice will reflect a great manufacturing level. Thevehicle will be examined by the judges at the time of Dynamic Event, so the participating teams are

advised to manufacture the vehicle with pre-planned strategies so that the vehicle would be able tocompete in several tasks and tests.

7.1.4. Discussion (Questionnaire) - In the static test event while examining the vehicle, judges maythrow questions on any of the team members. The team members are advised to be prepared with thevehicle. Every team member is required to have a hard copy of the vehicle documents.

7.1.5. Technical Inspection: In this a panel of judges will be judging that till what extend teams havefollowed the rule book. It is mandatory for teams to qualify T.I to go in Dynamic tests.


16/31



16 | P a g e

7.2. Dynamic tests

7.2.1. Brake Test:QualifierThere will be no marks for Brake test as it a qualifier test and each and every team have to clear

this to perform other tests. 5 attempts will be given to each team and the best attempt will be counted.

7.2.2 .Acceleration Test-

Objective-Acceleration determines the time it takes the vehicle to accelerate along 100 ft (30.48 m) flatcourse.Procedure- Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different drivers. Scoring will be based on

the better of the two attempts. Timing may be done using either electronic systems or stop watches.

Penalties-

a.)Cones Down or Out- A two (2) second penalty will be added for each cone down or out(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the correctedelapsed time.

b.)DNF- Vehicles that have not run by the end of the event (determined by the organizer) willreceive a Did Not Finish (DNF).

Scoring Formula- Teams with Acceleration times that are more than twice that of the fastest vehiclewill not receive a score for this event. Teams attempting the event, but exceeding the time limit will beclassified as Excess Time. The following equation will be used for the

Acceleration score: Acceleration score = 100x [(TlongestTyours)/ (TlongestTshortest)]

Where: Tshortest is the fastest time by any team Tlongest is either(a) The slowest time by any team or(b) 2x the fastest time whichever is the shorter interval. Tyours is your teams best time

7.2.3. Skid Pad test-

Objective- The objective of the skid-pad event is to measure the vehicles cornering ability on a flatsurface while making a constant-radius turn.

Skid Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in a figure of eight pattern. Thecentres of these circles will be 20m apart. The inner circles will be 16 m in diameter, and the outer

circles will be 21.25 m in diameter. The driving path will be the 2.5 m (9.84 feet) path between theinner and outer circles. The vehicles will enter and exit through gates on a 2.5 m wide path that is


17/31



17 | P a g e

tangential to the circles where they meet. The line between the centres of the circles defines thestart/stop line. A lap is defined as travelling around one (1) of the circles from the start/stop line andreturning to the start/stop line.

Procedure- The vehicles will enter perpendicular to the figure eight and will take one full lap on theright circle to establish the turn. The next lap will be on the right circle and will be timed. Immediatelyfollowing the second lap, the vehicle will enter the left circle for the third lap. The fourth lap will be onthe left circle and will be timed. Immediately upon finishing the fourth lap,the vehicle will exit the track. The vehicle will exit at the intersection moving in the same direction asentered. A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first.

NOTE: Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different drivers. Scoring will be based on thebetter of the two attempts. Timing may be done using either electronic systems or stop watches.

Scoring Formula- Skid Pad score = 125x [(TlongestTyours)/ (TlongestTshortest)]


18/31



18 | P a g e

Penalties-

a.)Cones Down Or Out-A penalty of 0.25 seconds will be added to the time for every cone that is

knocked down or out (including gate cones).b.)DNF- Vehicles that spin-out can continue as long as they have not gone off course will be

classified as DNF.

c.) Incorrect Laps- Vehicles that do not follow procedure, i.e. run an incorrect number of laps orrun the Laps in the wrong sequence will be classified as DNF.

7.2.4. Autocross Test-

Objective- The objective of the autocross event is to evaluate the vehicle's manoeuvrability andhandling qualities on a tight course without the hindrance of competing vehicles. The autocross coursewill combine the performance features of acceleration, braking, and cornering into one event.

Procedure- The vehicle will be staged such that the front wheels are 6 m (19.7 feet) behind thestarting line. The timer starts only after the vehicle crosses the start line. There will be no particularorder of the vehicles to run each heat. The organizer will determine the allowable windows for eachheat and retains the right to adjust for weather or technical delays. Vehicles that have not run by theend of the heat will be disqualified for that heat.

NOTE: Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different drivers. Scoring will be based on thebetter of the two attempts. Timing may be done using either electronic systems or stop watches.

Autocross Course Specifications & Speeds The following specifications will suggest the maximumspeeds that will be encountered on the course. Average speeds should be 40 km/hr (25 mph) to 48km/hr (30 mph).

Straights: No longer than 60 m (200 feet) with hairpins at both ends (or) no longer than 45 m (150feet) with wide turns on the ends.

Constant Turns: 23 m (75 feet) to 45 m (148 feet) diameter.

Hairpin Turns: Minimum of 9 m (29.5 feet) outside diameter (of the turn).

Slaloms: Cones in a straight line with 7.62 m to 12.19 m Spacing.


19/31


20/31



20 | P a g e

Constant Turns: 30.0 m to 54.0 m diameter.

Hairpin Turns: Minimum of 9.0 m outside diameter (of the turn).

Slaloms: Cones in a straight line with 9.0 m to 15.0 m Spacing.

Miscellaneous: Chicanes, multiple turns, decreasing radius turn setc. The Minimum track width will be4.5 m.

Procedure- The event will be run as a single heat approximately 20 km long. Teams are not allowed towork on their vehicles during the heat. A driver change can be made during a three (3) minute period at

the midpoint of the heat. Wheel-to-wheel racing is prohibited. Passing another vehicle may only bedone in an established passing zone.

Endurance Fuel Fill- Before entering the event each vehicles fuel tank must be filled to the fuel levelline at the fuelling station. During fuelling, once filled to the scribe line, no shaking or tilting of the tankor fuel system (incl. entire vehicle) is allowed.

Vehicle Starting/Restarting- The vehicle must be capable of starting / restarting without externalassistance at all times once the vehicle has begun the heat. If a vehicle stalls out on the track, it will be

allowed one (1) lap by the car that is following it (approximately one (1) minute) to restart. If a vehiclehas a restart problem at the end of Driver Change, it will be allowed a further two (2) minutes to restartthe engine. If restarts are not accomplished within the above times, the car will be deemed disabledand scored DNF for the heat.

Driver Changing Procedure- Elapsed time will begin when Driver A enters the course and crossesthe timing line. Driver A will drive for 10 km, and pull into the driver change area Three (3) minutes areallowed for the team to change drivers.

Driver 1 will exit the vehicle and any necessary adjustments will be made to the vehicle to fit Driver B(seat cushions, pedal position, etc.). Only three (3) team members, including the driver or drivers, willbe allowed in the driver change area, and only the tools necessary to change drivers and/or tires will becarried into this area (no tool chests etc.). Extra people entering the driver change area will result in a20 pt penalty to the final endurance score for each extra person entering the area.

Driver 2 will then be secured in the vehicle. The driver change area will be placed such that the timingsystem will see the driver change as an extra long lap. Unless this driver change takes longer thanthree minutes, this extra long lap will not count. If the driver change takes longer than three minutes,

the extra time will be counted into the final time.


21/31



21 | P a g e

Driver 2 will drive for 10 km and elapsed time will stop when the car completes the total 20 kmdistance. Driver 2 will proceed directly to the fuelling station. The tank will be filled to refill mark and theamount will be recorded.

Vehicle Breakdown and Stalls- If a vehicle breaks down it will be removed from the course and willnot be allowed to re-enter the course. If a vehicle stalls, or ingests a cone, etc., it will be allowed torestart and re-enter the course where it went off, but no work may be performed on the vehicle. If a carstalls and cannot be restarted without external assistance, the track workers will push the car clear ofthe track. At the discretion of event officials, two (2) team members may retrieve the car under directionof the track workers.

Endurance Minimum Speed Requirement- If a car is unable to maintain lap times within 133% of thefastest lap time for the course, and then it must exit immediately. Disqualification for failure to maintainthe minimum speed will be made at the discretion of the Director of Operations.

Endurance Lap Timing- Each lap of the endurance event will be individually timed either by electronicmeans, or by hand. The time for an individual heat will be determined by subtracting the extra long lapfor the driver change from the total time and adding any penalty points.

Penalties-

a.)Cones Down Or Out- Two (2) seconds per cone. This includes cones before the start line andafter the finish line.

b.)Off Course- For an OC, the driver must re-enter the track at or prior to the missed gate or atwenty (20) second penalty will be assessed.

c.)Missed Slalom- Missing one or more gates of a given slalom will incur a twenty (20) secondpenalty.

d.)Penalties for Moving Violations-

e.)Failure to obey a flag: 1 minute

f.) Over Driving (After a closed black flag): 1 Minute

g.)Vehicle to Vehicle contact: DISQUALIFIED

h.)Out of Order- Running out of order two (2) minute penalty


22/31



22 | P a g e

i.) Mechanical Problem- No additional penalty other than the time lost to ensure that the car issafe to continue.

j.) Reckless or Aggressive Driving- Any reckless or aggressive driving behaviour (such asforcing another car off the track, refusal to allow passing, or close driving that would cause thelikelihood of car contact) will result in a black flag for that driver. When a driver receives a blackflag signal, he must proceed to the penalty box to listen to a reprimand for his driving behaviour.The amount of time spent in the penalty box will vary from one (1) to four (4) minutes dependingupon the severity of the offense.

k.) Inexperienced Driver- The Chief Director of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver istoo slow, too aggressive, or driving in a manner that, in the sole opinion of the event, officials,

demonstrates an inability to properly control their car resulting in a DNF.

l.) Poor Fuel Economy- Mileage exceeding 26 litres/100 km four (4) minutes.

NOTE- The score for the Endurance Event is the sum of the Endurance Time Score and theEndurance Finish Score. The Endurance Time Score is based on the team's time for event,including penalties, compared to the fastest team. A vehicle will also receive an Endurance FinishScore of twenty five (25) points if the team's time for the event, including penalties, is less than or equalto the maximum allotted time. The total Endurance Score is calculated using the formula below.

Endurance score = 150x [(TlongestTyours)/ (TlongestTshortest)] +50

NOTE- Tlongest will be 1.333 times the Tshortest

7.3.2. Fuel Economy- The fuel economy score is based on the average litres per kilometre fueleconomy obtained during the endurance heat.

Fuel Economy Score Formula- If Vyour is less than Vmax then the following equation will be used todetermine the fuel economy score:

Fuel Economy Score = 75 X [(VmaxVyours)/ (VmaxVmin)]

NOTE- Vmax is equal to 5.2 litres and will be adjusted to represent 26 litres/100 km (9.04 mpg) if thecourse is shortened or lengthened.

In case, if Vyour is greater than Vmax then 0 points will be given to the performing vehicle.

IMPORTANT: Overall marks obtained by a team will be the combine sum ofVirtual and Dynamic marks obtained. Teams have to perform well in both

v virtual and dynamic to stand in the event.

IMPORTANT: A placement drive will be organized at the end of the event for t

t team members (final year students).

GENERAL

1. Definition of a Kart: A kart is a land single seater vehicle without a roof or acockpit, with or without suspensions and with or without bodywork elements, with 4non aligned wheels that are in contact with the ground, the 2 front ones of whichcontrol the direction and the other 2 rear ones, connected by a one piece axle,transmit the power. The main parts are the chassis (including the bodywork), thetyres and the engine.

2. Data acquisition All systems, with or without a memory, installed on a kart,allowing the Driver during or after the race to read, indicate, obtain, register, informor transmit any information.

3. Telemetry Transmission of data between a moving kart and an outside entity.4. Mechanical components Any components necessary for propulsion, steering and

braking, as well as any accessory, whether mobile or not, necessary for their normalfunctioning.

5 .Original or series component Any component which has undergone all thescheduled manufacturing stages carried out by the Manufacturer of the equipmentconsidered and originally mounted on the kart.

6. Composite Material composed of several distinct constituents the association ofwhich gives the material properties that no constituent taken separately has.

7. Maximum Greatest value reached by a variable quantity; highest limit.

8. Minimum Smallest value reached by a variable quantity; lowest limit.

9. Chassis Global structure of the kart which assembles the mechani-cal componentsand the bodywork, including any part that is interdependent of the said structure.

10. Frame Main supporting part of the chassis, in one piece and receiving the main and

auxiliary parts.

11. Engine11.1. Cylinder cubic capacity V volume engendered in the engine cylinder(s) by the

upward or downward movement of the piston(s). This volume is expressed in cubic

centimetres and, for all calculations concerning engine capacity, the number pi will betaken inclusively as 3.1416. V = 0.7854 x d x l x n with: d = bore; l = stroke; n = number ofcylinders.

11.2. Ducts or passages Ducts or passages are cylindrical or cylindrical-conicalelements allowing the passage of gases whatever the length or position of theseelements. Number of ducts or passages: the number of real ducts or passages is thegreatest quantity of cylindrical or cylindrical-conical elements which transmit gases from

the pump casing to the top of the piston, as well as those which transmit gases from theoutside of the cylinder to the inlet ports, or from the exhaust ports to the outside of thecylinder.

11.3. Inlet or exhaust port A port is composed of the intersection of the periphery ofthe cylinder and the inlet or exhaust duct. This port is opened or shut by the passage ofthe piston.

11.4. Power valve By power valve is meant any system which can alter by manual,electric, hydraulic or any other means the normal exhaust port timing or the normal flow ofexhaust gases at any point between the piston and the final exhaust exit when the engineis running.

12. RadiatorThis is a specific exchanger which permits the cooling of a liquid with air.Liquid/Air exchanger.

13. Fuel tank: Any capacity containing fuel which may flow to the engine.
