Points System
All Teams start with 100 points!
Points can be added/deducted based on the list below. The points allocated for your vehicle will be your starting point, and there will be challenges along the way which will enable you to gain or lose points. These challenges will be revealed closer to the event.

There is no restriction on spends to get a car through its MOT or repairs to ensure it is safe and legal.
Number of people in a team/car
2 People = 5 Points
More than 2 people = 5 points per additional participant
Car Decoration/Design

Please remember to keep the car safe and legal. Only restriction on cost is the £500 purchase price. We are spending a fair bit of time on the German roads, so pay attention to the laws on wheels/suspension. The German police won't think twice about pulling you over and they aren't keen on lowered suspension and stretched tyres.
