Okay, some interesting things about this competition: It looks like a gimmick rally, not a race. So not racing pace, and you get penalized for going too fast.

The organizers provided a truck to charge the ev cars, nice. Logistics for gas are a lot more accessible, you need a service vehicle with fuel tanks in the bed.
It is a woman only competition.

The speed element is capped because the relationslip between speed and money is somewhat exponential. You would be amazed how quickly a little navigation error or mechanical issue can snowball and throw your whole rally off. You should not under-estimate the competency required to do well at these events.

- bagels 3y agoNone were intended as snark. Having participated in off road competitions myself, and having considered the logistics of ev charging, I wanted to know what kind of competition/class that evs would be able to compete in. When I hear "off-road competition" I imagine something like Baja or Dakar Rally. Also, the fact that the organizers take care of the charging/fuelling logistics for you is great. I'm used to having a crew to drive my service vehicle to transport my fuel between stages.
