Types of Competition
Twin Battle:
- Two drivers will be paired for twin battle. Each battle consists of 2 rounds. If no winner emerges from the first battle, a second battle or sudden death will be required. Judges will decide whether another battle or sudden death is to be done.
- 1 round consists of 1 lap around the track. Drivers are required to cross the finishing line.
- In the Sudden Death round, drivers will only be given 1 round with the higher qualified driver being the leader. The winner of that round will be the winner of the battle. If no winner can be determined, another round is required and the positions are swapped.
* In the unlikely event where no winner can be determined, it will be at the judges’ decision to issue a different kind of challenge for the drivers to determine the winner.
- Judges will be looking mainly at:
o Smoothness
o Distance of leader to chaser
o Ability to follow the lining of the leader
* Judges will look at both cars to compare the difference in driving abilities. Chaser is advised to be close to the leader so the judges can better see the difference. If the chaser is too far apart, judges will focus mainly on the leader.
- Points will be deducted for:
o Accidents
o Non-smooth drifting
o Insufficient/Excessive angle
o Steering correction
o Increased distance between leader and chaser
o Deviation from drift line
* The above judging criteria differ from judge to judge. Some might deduct more for a particular kind of mistake and some less, but each judge will maintain their own standard to ensure fairness for all drivers.
