- In each team, roles are allocated: drawing the plans, cutting the parts, assembling, buying the decoration, decorating the vehicle, racing driver.
- Teams will need to be cohesive, well organized and creative.
- Once built and decorated, the cars and their creators set off for the final race. This is followed by a personalized prize-giving ceremony for the race winners.
