"The HS300 is the biggest roadshow. They come, they act, they leave; over and over again."

- Amelia Weber, HSRL journalist & presenter

While the HS300 is a place to see engineers and pilots strive in a dance of speed, it's also a good case study when looking at the logistics of it all. As soon as a session is finished in one venue, teams immediately scramble - already preparing everything for the next race week.

Monday | Post-Race Day
It's the day after race day, and celebrations are over. However, the venue is still rife with personnel littered about the paddock. Post-weekend affairs start with mandatory spacecraft examinations made by team engineers and ISF specialists, ensuring that everything is up to snuff. This process is lengthy, and is done at a "first come, first serve" basis for the teams. Once the ISF gives a pass, they can then begin their moving procedure, where teams pack everything up into their cargo transporters and leave the venue soon after. This process takes about a day or two as soon as the ISF starts their checks.

Tuesday | Packing Day 2
Teams are still in the process of getting everything into crates. By Tuesday, the last team should have their checks finalized (given that all teams have passed the inspection).

Wednesday | Packing Day 3
All teams should be done with shipping preparations and are finalizing their departure. At this stage, the venue they are leaving should have all HS300 branding removed and most of the paddock empty, with everything relocated to a depot nearby.

Thursday | Shipping Day 1
By Thursday, teams have called in their freighters and are beginning to ship off various equipment. HSRL management is doing the same, usually being the first to begin the shipping process.

Friday | Shipping Day 2
One by one, teams are arriving at the next venue and are unloading their equipment into the stand-by depot.

Saturday | Shipping Day 3
By Saturday, HSRL management have shipped all of their equipment to the stand-by depot, and are in the process of transporting it to the venue. Teams who have already arrived, however, are prohibited from moving their equipment to the venue until Sunday.

Sunday | Shipping Day 4
All teams should be at the depot by Sunday. At this stage. teams are allowed to start bringing their equipment to the venue.

Monday | Setup Day 1
Teams arrive at the venue with their equipment and begin to assemble all necessary components - team buildings/motorhomes, garages, important sensors and equipment, and more.

Tuesday | Setup Day 2
All teams should have everything ready - from the garage to the ship. Pilots should be arriving at the venue, going through debriefs, aiding with diagnostics & various other checks.

Wednesday | Setup Day 3 // Media Day
ASSEMBLY
For those caught up with the chaos, Wednesday is a catch-up day for teams that fell behind during the moving process. At the same time, it's also the first day for official HS300 media coverage.

Race Week | Thursday to Sunday
This is a brief explanation of a Grand Prix schedule. Depending on the venue, the HS300 race week can go one of two ways:

CLOSED CIRCUIT

• • Teams follow a four-day schedule.

  • Thursday and Friday are reserved for practice and ship tuning.

  • Saturday is reserved for qualifying. An hour after qualifying has concluded, teams will no longer be allowed to modify the setup of their racing ship.

  • Sunday is race day, where pilots race against each other in a set amount of laps.

SPRINT ROUTE

• • Teams follow a four-day schedule.

  • Thursday is reserved for practice & ship tuning.

  • Friday to Sunday are race days, where pilots race against the clock through the route, and earn points based on how fast they are compared to other pilots.
