As we're sure you're already aware, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak in 2020 has meant that it's vital to limit social contact and avoid gathering. For that reason, we've made the difficult decision to cancel the onsite event of the 8th GKDC and the GKDC Concept event was conducted online. While we know this is disappointing for motor sports enthusiasts, but steps have been taken to help to keep our staff and participants safe.

The event hosted two categories (Combustion Vehicle and Electric Vehicle) as per the guidelines of the 8th GKDC Rulebook. Though this was tough for the teams to work due to the new normal of Covid-19 yet every team took it to the highest levels of their efficiency and showcased their best of talents during the competition. The teams were evaluated based on:

1- Engineering Design (Report, Presentation, and Interview)
2- Cost (Report, Presentation, and Interview)
3- Business Plan (Presentation and Interview)
