This year’s showdown includes two main categories, the eight-cylinder category: dedicated to high-performance vehicles equipped with powerful engines for superior acceleration and maneuverability.
Six-cylinder category: considered the most competitive, combining power and flexibility, attracting both amateurs and professionals.

Additional points are awarded for participants performing unique stunts and manoeuvres.
