Point System
Flag Points
Each flag collected by the driver would earn him/her +5 points. The flag must be collected with hands by the driver only. In case of driver side flag, he/she must not exit the vehicle to collect the flag. For flags on the co-driver side, he/she may unbuckle the seatbelt to reach the flag, but the belt must be buckled back in before the next flag can be collected. Some obstacles will have a ‘Super Flag’ which will earn the driver +20 points.
Cone Penalties
Each cone that the vehicle displaces/topples deducts 5 points from the overall score. The vehicle is allowed to touch the cone, but if there’s lateral displacement or toppling of the cone, the penalty will apply. If the negative points are more than the positive points, the overall score will remain zero.
Vehicle Preservation/Safety/Driving Technique
This is on a 10-point scale where the judges will decide if the vehicle is being operated in an unsafe manner. If the vehicle is being driven in a fashion where damage to the vehicle may occur, the judges will deduct marks. Safety of operations also apply to the co-driver. The co-driver must always be in a safe position away from the vehicle during the obstacle operations.
Rules & Regulations
- Each vehicle in off-roading trophy must come with a working 4x4 with low ratio
- Seatbelts and helmets must be worn at all times during operation
- Every obstacle has a time limit (MPL) within which the vehicle is allowed to operate. Fastest time DOES NOT win
- The vehicles are allowed to stretch the boundary tapes, but if two wheels cross the boundary tape and/or if the tape breaks, the vehicle will be DNF
- DNF will also apply if the vehicle is stuck in the obstacle and has to be recovered by the marshals
- In case of DNF, all the flags and cones collected up to the point of DNF will apply
- Each vehicle if getting stuck will be given three attempts to get unstuck after which DNF will be awarded. DNF may also be awarded if the judges think that the obstacle is being destroyed by the vehicle
- The judges are chosen by Mahindra based on their off-roading experience and considered the best in the business. The scores are subjective and unless decided, there won’t be any timing involved. The judge decision is final and any protest won’t be allowed
