The competition goal is the design of a controller for a racing car
that will compete on a set of unknown tracks first alone (against the
clock) and then against other drivers. The controllers perceive the
racing environment through a number of sensors that describe the
relevant features of the car surroundings (e.g., the track limits, the
position of near-by obstacles), of the car state (the fuel level, the
engine RPMs, the current gear, etc.), and the current game state (lap
time, number of lap, etc.). The controller can perform the typical
driving actions (changing gear, accelerate, break, steering the wheel,
etc.)
