The competition is open to everybody. Participants are divided in two levels: amateurs/students and professionals. The theme is quite broad, asking participants to create a unique sportscar.

One interesting feature is that the design has to be based on a chassis available as a SolidWorks 3D model after registration.

Projects must also meet some technical specifications that will enable them to be viable production kit cars.

The deadline is 30 June 2007. Winners will be contacted by email within the end of July 2007.
