Scintilla's Autobeam Challenges - Reverse Racing (Autobeam) RULE DISCUSSION

THIS CHALLENGE IS VERY EXPERIMENTAL AND COULD BE CANCELLED

Driving forwards could be boring, so to make shitbox racing more fun is doing it backwards, by racing in reverse.
It’s real, you make a car then i drive in reverse and the winner is the one with fastest time.
results may can be unfair because I never race in reverse

Tips
  1. Do a lot of tuning in the gearing
  2. The wider the car, the easier to drive
  3. Make sure the car loves understeer
  4. Higher RPM would improve reverse speed

Does the gearing settings of the gearbox affect gearing in reverse in beam in any way?

An Autobeam challenge in which every car has to be driven in reverse for the whole race? I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen it before!

Any rules regarding tech pool?
