Its a good guess that the simulator or game engine behind this competetion is TORCS (The Open Racing Car Simulator) [1]. Simulated Car Racing (SCR) [2], is an existing annual AI car racing competition based on TORCS, though without the attractive prizes. It also has a client-server architecture with controls and sensor information sent over UDP using what seem like lisp sexps. [1] http://torcs.sourceforge.net/ [2] http://scr.geccocompetitions.com/

Another even better guess is that the udacity self driving car course [1] will see a huge upswing in enrollment.
