The maximum allowed capacity of IC engine to be used is 4.6 cc (i.e. Participants can also use 2.5 CC, 3 CC, 3.5 CC or any other IC engine lower in capacity).
The electric voltage anywhere in the machine should not exceed 12V at any point of time. 
There shall be a countdown preceding the start of the race. No participant is allowed to touch the machine during the countdown period.
