■ Qualifying Format
Each team will perform two runs over two rounds, with points awarded for each run. The best score out of the total of four runs will be the team's standing score, and the top 8 teams will advance to the finals.
■ Finals Format
Each team will perform two runs, with points awarded for each run. The best score of the two will be the team's standing score to determine the ranking. If two or more teams tie for the winning position, each team will perform one additional run, and the points will be judged to determine the final ranking.
Judging Points
There are a maximum of 5 judging criteria. For each run, technical points consist of three categories: Drift Angle, Distance from the Wall, and Synchronization, each worth 10 points. Additionally, Entertainment Points, which evaluate the level of entertainment, are worth 20 points, for a maximum total of 50 points.
■ Drift Angle
Drive with as deep an angle as possible toward the corner. Loss of speed or straightening out due to the angle will result in point deductions.
■ Distance from the Wall
Judges evaluate how close the car can get to the wall or the edge of the designated area. A 10cm-wide line is drawn at a 30cm clipping point; 10 points are awarded for staying within 10cm of the edge, with 1 point deducted for every 10cm of distance thereafter.
■ Synchronization
Judges evaluate whether the three cars are performing the same movements as closely as possible. The lead car is the reference, and it is expected that the following cars match its movements.
■ Entertainment Points
Evaluates the overall entertainment value and performance quality.
e.g., High-level performance with 3 or more cars, or surprises that excite the venue, etc.
