The updated version of the 2023_2024 ESF-1 form has been posted on the website. The link to the document is here.
Please use this form starting today.
If your team has already uploaded an ESF-1 using last year's form, you do not need to upload a new one.
The updated car numbers for the 2024 competition may be found here.
The Formula Hybrid + Electric car numbers are assigned by finishing order in 2023 for teams that competed last year and, for new teams, by the order in which the team registered for the 2024 competition. This numbering process does not line up with the numbers automatically assigned on registration.
Starting today, use the updated car numbers when submitting documents. If your team has already submitted a document using the automatically assigned number, you do not have to resubmit the document.

Nice article on 's Virtual Racing Challenge run on iRacing.com's system:
"iRacing and Formula Hybrid + Electric: Virtual Racing Teaches Race Engineering"
We'll keep you posted on when the sign-up for the Virtual Racing Challenge will be open.
Each year, we hold a mandatory Electrical Safety lecture at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, given by Professor Charlie Sullivan of the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth. Last year, the feedback was that the material would have been helpful to the teams if they had access to it earlier in the year.
We've recorded Charlie's lecture and posted it here on YouTube. Enjoy!
