Our Next Event is March 24-25 2018 at Thunderhill Raceway
Self Racing Cars returns to Thunderhill Raceway on March 24-25 2018. This year will be bigger, better, and hopefully faster!
Testing and Demoing
Please sign up to participate if you have any of the following things to test or demo:
- Autonomous vehicles
- Drivetrain innovation (electric or otherwise)
- Simulation
- Sensors
- Cameras
- Software and Algorithms
- Teleoperation
- Connected Cars (v2v or v2i)

Competition
We will be running timing and scoring for best autonomous laps the full-sized 2.1 mile track. Any vehicle that can make the two mile lap is welcome to attempt. Awards will be given for top performers in each class, with competition classes (e.g. "full-sized vehicle", "gas-powered go-kart", "teleoperated", etc.) to be determined as the event unfolds.
If you are interested in sponsoring a challenge, please contact us at contact@selfracingcars.com.
Data
As with our last events, we will be sharing data collected with various sensors and systems. Developers building on your systems will be able to see what the output looks like in a real-world yet controlled situation.
