- Dynamic events are where the car is actually put to the test, with
- different events each made to test a certain aspect of the car.
- Acceleration, sled pull, hill climb and maneuverability are all
- events that show how our vehicle does against other teams. After
- all these events, the finale comes in the form of the endurance
- event, a four-hour race filled with jumps, pits, and other
- obstacles, and teams compete to see how many laps the cars can
- make. It combines all the factors from previous events, on top of
