The World Human Powered Speed Challenge (WHPSC) s organized by the International Human Powered Vehicle Association (IHPVA) and as such all rules set by the IHPVA apply to WHPSC.
IHPVA rules can be found on the IPHVA.org website.
In addition the WHPSC has several additions focussed around the specific nature of the event.
The vehicle you bring to the event must comply with the IHPVA and WHPSC rules for it to be allowed to race. Pre-race a technical inspection is required. Technical inspection takes place on the Saturday preceding the first day of racing or at request for late arrivals.
The inspectors will use the following checklist to ensure compliance. In case of doubt feel free to contact us before the event to discuss any questions or doubts that you may have with regards to rules or inspection.
In case a vehicle fails inspection, it is not allowed to race. Additionally, in case a vehicle crashes during the week, basically – if any other part than the wheels touches the ground, the team must contact the inspectors for a re-inspection before being allowed to race again.
