Battery location is not allowed on the axle .
The drive system can only have three drive shafts and the car may only go forward by the wheels motion (except for winching).
The use of different systems for deteriorating the centre of gravity is not allowed, and shall be penalised by expulsion.
Minimal wheelbase: 240 mm
Minimal axle track: 165 mm
The body:
Both the "soft" eg. Lexan and the "hard" body eg. Styrol composite of ABS controller are permitted. The use of Styrol, composite and ABS.

Championship:
The championship consists of four day-races, according to seasons, a night race will also take place as part of the summer race. (during the night race only power LED lights will be permitted)
Schedule:
On the morning of the races a compulsory scrutineering by the organisers shall take place. Any remarks, altering in terms of points shall be made before the end of the scrutineering process.
The start order is then drawn and announced.

The number of tracks (2 or 3) will depend on the number of applications, the results of the races will add up.
In addition, each started minute will be penalised by 2 points (eg. for a result of 12 mins. 45 secs. 26 points penalty will be added) and the collected scale points should be subtracted from that.
Reversing is not penalised at a race, however it has be noted that the gates can only be validated if they are on the vehicle's right side, at some stages of the race, gates might be located on both sides, and these can also be validated by reversing.
A gate is considered validated if the vehicle has completely gone through the gate pairs.
Missed gates are considered as a major penalty.
Hitting the sticks indicating the gates is penalised in all cases. The gates that have previously been validated may be hit during further stages of the race, either by going forward or reversing.
Winching:
Winching may be used only to a terrain feature or to another car sent for rescue, or the racer's own anchor winch is allowed which the judges may help to hold in case of soft terrain conditions.
During the winching all equipment mounted on the vehicle may be used as well as the different sizes of usual winching accessories (eg.: Snatch block, snatch strap).
Using a sand ladder:
A sand ladder may only be used on a 1:1 scale, this means in the front of the vehicle's wheels, flat.
If the vehicle's tire is on it, further adjustments may not be permitted.
The maximum size of the sand ladders is regulated, these may not fold nor attachable.
Track:
The tracks and the cars likewise are on a scale arrangement basis, with small terrain declination, in some parts low water-levels.
The gates should be validated in a given order and from a certain direction, hitting the advertising boards on the tracks sides are minor penalties, the band or chain indicating the track between the gates may be crossed with two wheels, hitting with the a third wheel will count as a major penalty.
