For example, is track details a 3d representation of the map to use for collision detection, the weather in a particular scenario. How much detail do we have for the cars? Drag coefficient, acceleration, max speed, bounding box?

We're trying to keep the competition both fun and challenging so the simulation is kept fairly simple. More details will be revealed when competition starts.

Those details would allow you to start working on it (even if in your head). Presumably they want everybody to start at the same time.
