The Grid
Nine markers, one lap each way, and a GPS time. Set up the grid, ride it and send in your best.
Inspired by the Global T-Race
This challenge is directly inspired by the Global T-Race Challenge, created to provide a consistent, accessible format for time-based PEV racing around the world. The Grid follows the same core methodology, using standardised marker layouts and GPS timing, but offers a larger, alternate layout with a bit more flow.
It is not intended as an improvement, but simply a different take on the same spirit of global competition.
The leaderboard
Ranked by combined time: your best clockwise lap plus your best counter-clockwise lap. Riders with a time in only one direction are listed underneath until they add the other.

How to lay out the track
Place 9 markers in a 3×3 square grid, with each marker 20 metres from the next in both directions. Then ride the course shown in the clockwise diagram. The counter-clockwise layout is a mirrored version of the official course, so riding it balances heelside and toeside turns.

How it works

- Riders complete one timed lap in each direction:
- Clockwise is the original layout.
- Counter-clockwise is the mirrored layout.
- Flying starts are permitted.
- The fastest single lap time in each direction is recorded and submitted.
Timing rules
- Only GPS-based or infrared lap monitor timing systems are allowed.
- Recommended GPS devices: Dragy, RaceBox, LapTimer apps and similar.
- No manual timing or stopwatches.
