Figure 1: Example of Proper RPS Design and Side and Top Load Case Applications (Note: Loads shown should not be
applied concurrently in analysis and/or testing)
E) Safety Harness
All drivers of all vehicles in all events will be secured to their vehicle by safety belts and, where
feasible, shoulder harnesses at all times that the vehicle is in motion. Commercially available
seat belts and harnesses designed for automotive, aviation or racing applications will generally
be accepted without test data for the straps and buckles. Test data for attachment points may
still be required at the time of the safety inspection. Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer.
V. Qualification
A) Objective
Teams have to demonstrate both their understanding of the rules and their capacity to develop
a competitive entry prior to the main HPVC event.
B) Description
Teams must submit a 4 page maximum written proposal which communicates the team’s
capacity in the following areas. Form 6a, the Qualification Proposal Cover Page must be attached
to the front of the proposal. Figures that support the proposal may be placed in the appendices
and referenced in the text. The cover page and appendices will not be counted in the 4 page
limit but all supporting text will count against the page limit.
1) Design plan Describe your team’s preliminary vehicle design and innovative design features.
Use figures to clearly demonstrate your plans.

Figure 3: Quick turn obstacle (Note: actual layout subject to limitations of venue)
If possible all obstacles shall be located on the course such that at least one continuous
kilometer is obstacle-free, but obstacles will be spread out enough to reduce traffic in and
around obstacles if possible. Please note that actual obstacles used at the competitions may
differ from described above due to venue limitations.
This required document for all teams is to be incorporated in to your Design & Innovation Reports. Please
Observe Your Due Dates; see the ASME HPVC for due dates.
