We have made alterations to the regulations to include changes in the Australian-International Regulations. Please read the Regulations carefully and take particular note of the following sections:

Scrutineering

Australian-International Regulations

Please note there are a couple of important differences between the Australian-International and the Western Power regulations:

1.5 Allocation of Points (this system will not be used for the WA event)
3.6 Posters required (posters will be marked at the Australian-International)
3.7 Interviews will not be conducted at the WA event
7.5 Formal stopping procedure (the styrene foam stopping block will not be used for the WA event but if you make it to Adelaide (and we hope you are!) make sure that your car is built to withstand impact with the stopping block
