Compete in the Virtual Circuit
Format: time trial | Laps: 3 continuous | Penalties: 3 seconds
The Ross Raceway was named in honor of the 2021 AWS DeepRacer League 3rd place finisher, RossComp. A Simple double loop shape that connects four straightaways with 180 degree turns and capped by a long dragstrip; it's geared for all out speed. At 46.16m in length this friendly layout is great for first time racers to land their first spot on the leaderboard.
Format: Head-to-bot | Laps: 3 continuous | Penalties: 3 seconds
Building on the Ross Raceway, the Ross Super Speedway adds complex chicanes, tight switchbacks, and a more challenging length at 63.92m. Pros this month will need to navigate the technical section without offtracks for a chance at the Pro Finale. While the turns are a must make, the race will be won with all out speed in the straightaways and an aggressive racing line through to maintain speed through the right handers.
Featured reward: RossComp Crusher
All participants in May Open and Pro Division races will receive the exclusive RossComp Crusher in their garage at the end of the month. The RossComp Crusher was designed with input from AWS DeepRacer League competitor RossComp, a classic take on the menacing monster truck.
Tune in for the Monthly Pro Finale
Format: Object Avoidance | Laps: single fastest of 2 attempts | Duration: 3 minutes | Penalties: 3 seconds
Each month, the top 16 Pros will compete in the monthly Pro Finale where they will race LIVE on the AWS Twitch channel for a chance to win AWS DeepRacer devices and qualify for the Championships in Las Vegas at AWS re:Invent 2022.
