Let’s see how the racers did in August. How many will have qualified into the Pro Division? Who’s new, who dropped out and who returned into the finale race?

September races
Pro Division racers are up against some pure madness this month. 59.8 m of a track with multiple hairpins and hardly any straights are one thing. Add to it five bots that plough on at ridiculous 3 m/s like there’s no tomorrow. That’s just soul-crashing.
Open Division contestants will have it slightly easier with a time trial format and 45.16 metres of track. The most challenging part of the track got replaced with a different one which introduces new challenges. Sounds like fun!

New DeepRacer Console features
Starting this month you can change your racer alias on the profile page.
Better! You can change your car looks between the trainings.
Even Better! You can configure a custom action space.
Even Better than that! You can edit your action space when cloning a model.
This means that many of the advanced features around action space have become much more accessible to all racers, not just through the local training stack.
You can read more about it on the AWS Blog.
Pro Division
Race info:
- 59.69 meters long
- 107 centimeters wide
- Head-to-bot format with four bot cars cruising at 2 m/s with no lane changes
- Racers are trying to complete three laps – all laps are separate
- Each collision results in a five seconds penalty
- Each driving off the track results in a three seconds penalty
- Top 16 go on into a live race which will be streamed on Twitch to fight for places in the League Finals
- 10 best racers who haven’t yet done so win an AWS DeepRacer EVO (last one in August was in 40th place if I got the numbers right)
All submissions Racers: 210 Total submission attempts: 82236 Best total time: 00:56.218 by JJ Mean total time: 02:34.433309524 Best lap: 00:18.599 by JJ Mean best lap: 00:47.993785714 Mean average lap: 00:51.477400
As expected after such a big Open Division participation in July, we’ve had 80 more Pro racers in August compared to last month. The top spot was held firmly by JJ with Karl-NAB right behind and rosscomp1 in third. All of them have already secured a spot in the championships, therefore the Finale’s pole position goes to TonyJ.

The top 25 times are pretty impressive with a mean total time at 01:05.506 but I’m even more curious to see who qualifies into the finale race on Thursday.

Congratulations to the two rookies of this month’s finale, JPMC-Singapore-Chetak and Carvai, who have managed to get in from respectively second and sixteenth place. Carvai has managed to get just in front of a CGS student, CGS-on-your-12-hopefully. Rober has returned after a bit of a break but he’s not the only one – we also have Fumiaki who has been away from the finales since March. Just a reminder that he’s been a runner up in the 2019 finale. He will join his colleague Penguin-DNPds who has frequently fought for the tickets to Las Vegas.
Open Division
Race info:
- 42.25 meters long
- 107 centimetres wide
- Simpler and shorter than the pro track but still pretty challenging with a variety of straights and turns
- Time Trial format
- Competitors need to complete three laps and total time counts for their classification, each lap starts from halt
- Each off-track results in five seconds penalty.
- Racers fight for qualification to the Pro group which is won by the top 10%
- They will also receive a Pro Welcoming Kit which is a bit of a mystery (hoodie, cap and non-slip socks are what we’ve seen so far)
It might sound like no biggie – get into 10% to get into the Pro Division, but it does require a bit of effort. Many of the participants have tried and failed. The ones who succeeded share photos of the kits they have received. It’s quite enjoyable to see how proud they are.
All submissions Racers: 1636 Total submission attempts: 10679 Best total time: 00:48.683 by ADA Mean total time: 03:25.206577017 Best lap: 00:15.598 by ADA Mean best lap: 01:04.158036064 Mean average lap: 01:08.401866748
1636 racers is a little shy of July’s numbers but it still means an impressive 163 racers qualifying into the pro division. I always wonder how many racers go beyond simply submitting the first trained model and then not coming back. If anyone has an idea how to identify who’s more active and who is a one-timer, let me know.
Top 25 submissions Racers: 25 Total submission attempts: 1795 Best total time: 00:48.683 by ADA Mean total time: 01:12.427160 Best lap: 00:15.598 by ADA Mean best lap: 00:22.984040 Mean average lap: 00:24.142040
Interestingly, we’ve seen great improvements in mean total time compared to July race. It might be a bad comparison since it’s different tracks but their length is vaguely similar so that should not matter that much and most importantly we get new leaders every month since the previous ones move into the Pro Division.
The winner, ADA, has been the first racer in a long while in the Open Division to break the one minute barrier on total time. Also, the slowest racer was the only one to go over two minutes in total time which makes this months Open race pretty fast overall.
Let’s see the final standings.

Looking quickly through the list of 163 racers I can see quite a few students from CGS in there, at least one JPMC racer, Easy and LuckyMan who I recognise from our live AMA session races, and also IVaibhavMalpani who I’ve had a pleasure to meet in 2019 where he was helping us with the AWS DeepRacer Community BootCamp.
I also can see many racers with names like TwoWords#1234 – this is a new feature in the console where you no longer provide a racer name during your first model submission. Instead everyone can change their race name now. Yes, you read that right. You can go and change your race name to fix that silly mistake when you provided your model name in the wrong fields and then had to race as AnotherRandomModel-clone-clone-2-3-1.
Remember to join us on Thursday for the live finale race on Twitch. And remember to check this blog for some updates on September races.
