9- Workshop: GKDC hosts workshops to enhance the technical skills and understanding of the participating teams by providing them with resourceful technical content and rules. Each team is required to enrol a minimum of three members in any one of the workshops that is best suited for their location.
10- Design Review: The Design Review is an optional opportunity for teams to engage directly with experienced design judges. It allows teams to clarify rulebook concerns, ask design-related questions, and receive valuable feedback. Judges will highlight potential improvements, identify possible rulebook violations, and provide guidance to help teams refine and optimize their designs. This review is purely advisory, carries no evaluation, and does not contribute to the overall scoring.
11- Driver Training Program: In 2016, ISNEE implemented a policy that prohibits untrained drivers from driving on the racetrack during the GKDC events. Driver training is essential not only for the success of the team but also for personal safety and the safety of other participants.
12- Waiting List & Withdrawls: Teams on the waiting list may be moved to the participating list up to two weeks before the start of the competition if a registered team withdraws from the competition, creating an available slot. Once a slot on the participating list becomes available, the next team on the waiting list will move to the pending list and will have 72 hours to pay the registration fee to secure their place on the participating list.
-
It is important to note that teams on the waiting list must submit all documents and forms by the same deadlines as teams on the participating list.
-
Teams on the waiting and participating lists who find that they will not be able to attend the competition are requested to officially withdraw by notifying the officials.
