What does VCP stand for?

== =
Penalties do make a difference
Off course (shortcut?) and speeding on the controlled section.
Score dose not tell how many deviations.
Cannot be a winner with poor driving or cheating.

VCP is a virtual check point.
It is a place with coordinates on the digital track the is monitored and recorded by the tracker device used by each race truck. They usually have a sign along the track.
Purpose to prevent racers from taking shortcuts.
The VCPs are reviewed by computer after the race and deviations are flagged for penalties.

Virtual Checkpoint. SCORE's General Regulations say in part:

"Every vehicle at all SCORE events must pass through all Physical Checkpoints and Virtual Checkpoints (VCPs) in the correct ascending numerical order. A full and complete stop must be made at all Physical Checkpoints, while vehicles will race through all Virtual Checkpoints (VCPs). ... The failure of any vehicle to pass through one or more Virtual Checkpoints (VCPs), will result in a penalty as outlined in the supplementary rules published for each specific race."

Usually SCORE requires racers to pass within 150' of a VCP or risk penalties. If it's a critical area, the distance can be reduced to fit the situation.

The yellow dots are examples of VCPs:
