rule no 1 ...must be able to roll down hill
rule no 2.... must look fairly stable at first other the driver will have to be persuaded to drive
rule no 3 ...capable of turning 2 corners to build up speed on the course
rule no 4... bits must fly off through torsional twisting cause by the driver not clenching well enough
rule no 5... crash alarmingly on the corner with the most spectators ending with at least the driver knocked unconscious
rule no 6 ....I'm never ever getting involved with soapbox racers ever ever again

Lets clear up car terms:
"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.
