Already at the beginning of the competition, high-end cars had been tested in Kaunas town hall square. The Peak Point platform simulated difficult driving conditions that, unfortunately, were not ready.

In addition to climbing a mountain or cross-country skiing, when only one wheel out of four was seized, the rigidity of the bodies was also tested. The vehicle was stationary on two different axle wheels and the bodywork was checked for no reason, as it happened that the driver of the vehicle thus stopped could not open the door. After the tests at the Kaunas center, the stronger "heart" models were at the starting line of Kacergine's "Nemunas Rings", where their acceleration was verified. Everyone was then surprised and Jaguar I-Pace was the most successful car.

The second stage of the test consisted of waiting for the cars at Panevezys, where it was checked whether the car was driving on a slippery road. Despite the fact that all cars were "covered" with the same Continental tires, some were still slipping or slower than others. There are models that are just starting to slip, while others are starting to straighten up in their carousel.

The polling station commission is focused on all the candidates of the Druskininkai camp. Braking has been tested here. And the models that the builders said the car had an automatic restraint system had to prove that they were really capable. Also tested for vehicle innovation and connectivity.
