The FIA Smart Driving Challenge (FIA SDC) is the world’s first challenge that rewards smart, safe and environmentally-friendly driving. The challenge was created by the FIA to encourage everyday drivers to adopt and develop smarter driving skills. During the competition, each individual drive is measured and analyzed by world-leading AI from Greater Than.
After each drive, participants can see their FIA SDC Score and analysis of each trip, so they can see where improvements can be made in areas such as focus and anticipation.
When joining the FIA SDC, participants are assigned an ambassador who helps to incentivize safer, smarter driving behaviors.
Just making drivers more aware of their impact on the roads helps to inspire positive change.
The challenge consists of seven monthly heats, each lasting one calendar month. The season ends with the Playoffs, where the top 20 drivers compete for the final two spots in the live head-to-head Grand Finale.
Playoff Zone (Introduced in 2025)
All drivers have a chance to qualify for the Playoffs by competing in the Playoff Zone. To enter the Playoff Zone, a driver must complete at least one full month of driving (5 daily heats). From here you can win a ticket to the season playoffs and compete for a place in the Grand Finale.
Season Grand Finale
The top two performers from the Playoffs will meet in a live head-to-head challenge where the winner will be crowned FIA SDC Season 2025 Champion.
You need to drive at least one trip over 5km to qualify for a daily heat. Participate in at least 5 daily heats to qualify for the monthly heat. You must drive more than 25 km total during a month.
