MOV Scoring

  • Found in Regulations, Section 13

  • Make sure you have a design operations strategy to consider all the factors used in calculating the S-value

  • If you fall below your target speed, it’ll kill your score

  • Unmetered charging → not optimal for partial charging (you are evaluated each time you use it)

  • For parts of the track with hills, the speed may be reduced

  • Recommended to drive a little bit above the target speed to give you a bit of leeway (you do not want to drop below it

  • There may be some things on this list that may not be evaluated but these are some ideas that might boost practicality scores
