Scrutineering
Before they can get on the track, teams and their solar cars undergo several days of scrutiny from the event’s technical staff. All teams will go through the same 11 stations prior to being cleared for the track. An additional station is required for teams competing in ASC.
| Safety | The Safety Check verifies that teams have the required safety equipment for solar car racing including fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and more. |
| Driver Registration | At this station teams register their drivers (and MOV passengers). They are checked for a valid license, allowable helmets, and safe shoes then weigh in for ballast. |
| Driver Operations | Here drivers (and MOV passengers) are checked to ensure they fit in the car, have the proper equipment in the car (water, radio, ballast holder), and that they can egress the car in under 10 seconds. |
| Lights & Vision | Lights & Vision ensures that drivers have the required field of view from the solar vehicle, including rear vision, and that the vehicle lights meet brightness and visibility requirements. |
| Body & Sizing | This station ensures that the size and configuration of the vehicles is within regulations including: overall dimensions, solar array size, seat belt placement, headrests, signage, weight, & more. |
| Electrical | The electrical station verifies that the vehicles electrical system meets all safety and competitive requirements including battery size, driver controls, and emergency stops. |
| Battery Protection | At this stations teams' batteries undergo tests to ensure the battery will shutoff if operated outside safe ranges for voltage, current, and temperature. |
| Mechanical | Here vehicles undergo a thorough inspection of their body, chassis, roll-cage, brakes, steering, and suspension to ensure they meet safety and competitive regulations. |
| Dynamics | At dynamics cars and drivers must pass U-Turn, Figure-8, Slalom, and Braking Tests with the requisite performance. Teams must achieve at least yellow status in all of the above stations before attempting dynamics |
| Array Testing | At this station the vehicles solar array is tested and verified. |
| Impound & MOV | All vehicles must demonstrate how their battery system is impounded outside of race hours. Multi-Occupant Vehicles are additionally outfitted with metering equipment for external charging. Learn More About the Vehicle Classes. |
| ASC Support Vehicles | Team participating in ASC have their on-road support vehicles checked for required warning lights, signage, and safety equipment. |
