Formula Hybrid Competition Rules and Scoring
Rules
Unlike Formula SAE, Hybrid teams are not required to build a new chassis every year. Retrofitting pre-existing Formula SAE chassis is permitted.
Only fuel-electric hybrids are permitted. Flywheel energy accumulators are not allowed.
Other differences in the rules between Formula Hybrid and Formula SAE are:
- The IC engine can displace no more than 250cc (310cc for Diesels) with no inlet restrictor.
- Drive-by-wire is permitted.
- The "no hybrid" rule has been replaced by a "hybrid only" rule.
Entries are limited to student teams from colleges and universities.
