October race
We are starting the last race for the league phase of the championships. We will hit the track. The race will be happening on track DBro Super Raceway. Named after the 2021 AWS DeepRacer finalist Darren “DBro” Broderick, the DBro Super Raceway features 2 lightning fast dragstrips and an unforgiving technical section of hairpin turns and cutbacks.
We will be racing in the Time trial format with three consecutive laps to complete. Each off-track results in 3 seconds penalty and there is a limit of 50 submissions.
Remember the standard rules on what can be won, as mentioned in the start of season announcement.
Here’s a general summary of what’s left to win in October:
- winners in each of six regions: places in AWS DeepRacer Championships at AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas together with trip to the conference
- top five racers in each of six regions: $400 Amazon vouchers
- top 10% racers in each of six regions: $50 Amazon vouchers
