TeslaCorsa Challenge 2021

PRELIMINARY RULES

Note from TeslaCorsa:

These rules have been generated by community members who are passionate about making TeslaCorsa Challenge and the TeslaCorsa series as a whole as fun and rewarding as possible.  We, as a community, will consider this a living document and reserve the right to make common sense changes as needed.  All feedback is welcome. Please email [email protected] or post publicly on the TeslaCorsa Facebook group.

We are very grateful to the passionate members of the community that make these events so special!

1  GENERAL RULES

1. Any competitor is subject to approval and TeslaCorsa reserves the right to disqualify any competitor or vehicle for any reason.
2. Competitors are classed based on a combination of Tesla model entered and the level of modifications made to the car. There are three vehicle categories (“Quick”, “Extra Quick”, and “Super Quick”) and two classification levels for each category (“Sport” and “GT”.) Any vehicle that exceeds the level of modifications allowed in “GT” will be entered into the “Exhibition” class.

• The same car may be used for multiple entries (competitors). Multiple competitors must register separately and under two different transponders. You must only run one transponder per session so timing registers correctly.
• Approved Transponders and TeslaCorsa’s Timing System will be used as the official timing. If a transponder does not function correctly during a session, a competitor can show proof of time with an approved 3rd party device. (Tesla Track Mode, Solo 2, Etc..) Please contact [email protected] if you have questions about an approved timing device.
• TeslaCorsa stewards may re-class any vehicle if the vehicle greatly exceeds its class performance capability.
• TeslaCorsa stewards may re-class any vehicle if the combination of modifications doesn’t reach minimum requirements. For example: If a vehicle only has a midsize wing installed and no other upgrades, the competitor may be eligible to compete in Sport Class.
• New production vehicles or variants of the Models introduced during TCC season will automatically be promoted to Exhibition class until TeslaCorsa has verified its capabilities.
• Any vehicle with a software hack or electronic modification device not listed in Exhibit A, “Approved Software Modifications”,  will be deemed unverified and can only compete in Exhibition Class until TeslaCorsa has verified its capabilities and can categorize it appropriately.
• If any competitor is found cheating they may be subject to disqualification and banned from TeslaCorsa Challenge.
• If a competitor questions another competitors classification they can send a challenge notification to the TeslaCorsa stewards or send an email to [email protected]

7. The competitor with the best lap time in each class of each competition day will receive the maximum number of points (13pts). Every subsequent place in that class will receive a number of points corresponding with their place (2nd place = 8pts, 3rd place = 5pts, 4th place = 3pts, 5th place = 2pts, all others = 1pt). All competitors participating at each event will receive an additional +2 points for registering. Therefore the maximum score for each event is 15 points total and the maximum season total is 60 points.
