We are excited for the upcoming Inspire Europe Grand Prix! We have heard much feedback on the new format, and after a completed US Grand Prix, we have decided to host Inspire 17 Europe Grand Prix in the same format as 2016. We want to ensure that the racers have a great experience at the Grand Prix as well as the audience!

For those that have formed teams in preparation of the proposed new format, we thank you for your efforts and participation and we hope you will continue forward with us on this Grand Prix cycle!

The updated, official rules are as follows:

• Recruitment process driven through the User Groups and the Community;
• No current ACEs allowed to race
• Qualification races will take place end of July via WebEx, with winners officially announced by mid-August.
• Finalists must confirm Inspire registration before August 9^th (their basic Inspire registration fee will be complimentary)
• 3 final contestants on stage racing live through a series of workflows
• Max 1 person per partner company (if you have multiple compete in the prelims, the top 1 will advance)
