APPENDIX I. FIA FUEL RIG DRAWING – VENT HEIGHT.

Fuel rigs are defined by drawing 252-7A-2 of Article 257 A of Appendix J (2016) and described in art 257 A

section 6 of Appendix J.

Note: A flexible joint is permitted in the vent hose to achieve a 1m vertical height, if obstructed by the height of

the garage.



APPENDIX II. DORIAN DATA-1 AUTOMATIC DRIVER ID SYSTEM.

1. The Dorian DATA-1 Automatic Driver ID System consists of two main components connected

together by a cable.

2. The main component is the special DATA-1 transmitter which transmits the unique car id code from

the Car to the receiver antennas embedded in the Race Track, and then to the Track Side Receiver

(decoder). The information is then passed on to the timing system computers for processing.

3. The other component is the RFID receiver in the cabin of the Car, and the RFID chip which is placed

on the Driver’s helmet communications connector. The RFID receiver detects the unique code of

each Driver whilst they are in the Car with their headset cable connected to the Car’s communications

radio system.

4. The two components are connected by a cable. The length of this cable is 3.6 metres, which needs

to be considered when deciding on locations of the components in and under the Car.

5. RFID chips are also required to be fitted to each Driver’s helmet connector. A deposit will be required

for the chips, this fee will be $5.00 for each chip, one required for each helmet that each Driver will

use. This amount will be refunded if the chips are returned after the Event, if they are not returned

the deposit will be forfeited.

Dorian Data Transmitter

1. The Dorian DATA-1 transmitter must be mounted under the Car, no higher than 350 mm, with no

metal or carbon fibre between the transmitter and the race track surface. The orientation is also

important, it must be mounted longitudinal along the length of the Car. There must not be any metal

or carbon fibre directly in front or behind the transmitter, a clearance of 10 cm is desirable.

2. Below are the Dorian Industries Recommended Mounting arrangements, although the drawings

indicate 400mm max height, for GT Cars with full carbon under trays the recommended max height is

350 mm.



Automatic RFID Receiver

1. The RFID receiver is mounted in the Driver’s cabin with the NEXIS TJ-101 radio connecter mounted

in the centre of the RFID receiver, the maximum outer diameter of the connector cannot exceed

16mm.

2. The NEXIS TP-120B connector on the cable from the helmet kit has a small RFID device attached to

the side of the casing. When the helmet plug is inserted into the NEXIS socket, the code identifying

the Driver is transferred to the Dorian DATA-1 transmitter and then to the timing and scoring system.

RFID Plug-Socket-01 RFID Plug-Socket-02

3. The location of the RFID chip on the helmet plug is critical; it needs to be mounted as close to the

shoulder of the connector as is practically possible with no metal around the chip. When the helmet

plug is inserted correctly the front of the chip must be within 2mm of the front edge of the receptacle.

RFID Plug-Socket-03 RFID Plug-Socket-04



If a quick pull system with dry-break fluid fittings is used, the chip must not be fully or even partially covered

by metal. A number of organisations manufacture mountings to carry the helmet plug and a dry-break fluid

fitting together, two are shown below.

1. Garry Rogers Motorsport manufacture a system made from plastic, so far there have been no

issues with these fittings, the RFID chip is mounted in a slot moulded into the plastic around the

NEXUS connector.

GRM Multi Holder-01

2. Ash Seward distributes a system manufactured from aluminium by Force Accessories, there has

been an issue with some of these, however there is a simple fix. On the adapter plate, If the

dimension of the offset between the mounting holes for the dry-break connector and the RFID

receiver mounting holes is increased to 12-13mm it allows the helmet radio plug to protrude 14mm

from the aluminium quick pull housing, this then has enough space to mount the RFID chip in front

of the housing.



Force Industries Multi Holder-01 Force Industries Multi Holder-02

3. There are other manufacturers of Quick Pull Multi Holders, however they are all very similar to the

two shown above. The important thing to remember when setting up and installing these devices

is that the RFID chip needs to be within the funnel of the RFID receiver without any metal around

the RFID chip.

APPENDIX VI. MOTEC BOP DATA LOGGER & IN CAR WARNING SYSTEM

For the 2020 Bathurst 12 Hour all teams will be required to run a Balance of Performance Logger

(BOP) and the In Car Warning System (ICWS). This consists of the following items:

• Balance of Performance (BoP) Data Logger;

• GPS;

• Telemetry Modem;

• Shift Light Module;

• Modem to BoP Logger Wiring Loom;

• BoP Logger to Shift Light Module Wiring Loom;

• Modem Antennas x 2.

BoP Data Logger

The Balance of Performance (BOP) Logger consists of a single box to be mounted on a flat surface

in the car as well as a GPS antenna to be mounted to the roof.

Fig. 2 Top view of the BoP box. Fig. 3 End view of the BoP box

Figure 2 above shows the top of the BOP box. The box must be mounted with the arrow facing the

front of the vehicle. Mounting of the box can be done either using 3M dual lock (or similar) on the

bottom or by fabricating an appropriate bracket. The box does not have specific mounting points and

cannot be opened to aid in mounting.

Figure 3 above shows the side of the BOP box and the USB and Ethernet connectors. The box must

be positioned in a way that a delegate of the Technical Director can easily access these connectors

to update and program the logger box as well as retrieve data any time during the weekend.



There are five (5) mandatory connections to the vehicle:

1. 6 Pin DTM to connect electrically to the vehicle for Power, Ground and CAN Hi/Lo.

2. 4 Pin DTM to connect to the supplied GPS unit.

3. 6mm Barb to be plumbed to the inlet manifold.

4. 6 Pin DTM to connect to the telemetry modem

5. 4 Pin DTM, 12V and CAN for connecting to the SLM as well as any auxiliary devices such as

a camera.

Important: Wiring from the vehicle to the 6 Pin connector and the hose from the inlet manifold to the

BOP box is to be supplied and fitted by the team. The inlet manifold hose must be connected for both

Turbo and NA vehicles.

Vehicle Connector:

The BOP box has a 400mm fly lead with a Deutsch 6 Pin Female DTM connector for connecting to

the vehicles power and CAN bus. This connector is labelled ‘Car’ or ‘Vehicle’. The pinout is found in

figure 1. The mating connector is Deutsch P/No: DTM04-6P.

GPS Connector:

The BOP box has a 400mm fly lead with a Deutsch 6 Pin Female DTM connector for connecting to

the GPS antenna. This is labelled ‘GPS’ and plugs directly into the supplied GPS unit.

Manifold Pressure Connection:

The BOP box has a 6mm barb for connecting directly to the manifold. This hose must be supplied

and fitted by the team. It must be connected for both Turbo and NA vehicles.

Modem Connector:

The BOP box has a Deutsch 6 Pin Male DTM connector mounted on the side of the box. This is

connected to the Modem with the supplied Modem to BOP Logger wiring loom.

SLM and Aux Connector:

The BOP box has a Deutsch 4 Pin Male DTM connector mounted on the side of the box. This is

connected to the SLM and any auxiliary devices with the supplied wiring loom.



Telemetry Switch:

The BOP Logger has a switch labelled ‘Telemetry’ on the top of it. This switch must always be left in

the ‘On’ position. If this is turned off the ICWS will not work.

Telemetry Modem:

Wiring connection:

The Telemetry Modem requires four connections. The supplied wiring loom connects to the 4 Pin

and 9 pin connectors and the supplied antennas connect to the two upper SMA connectors. NOTE: the 3rd lower SMA connector labelled GPS is not connected to anything.



Antenna

The kit comes with two antenna which are designed to be mounted on the inside of the windscreen.

The ideal location at the top of the windscreen behind the banner. The two antennas should be

mounted as far apart from each other as possible, either on the front and rear windscreens (if that’s

possible) or on either side of the front windscreen. They should be mounted with the flat surface

against the glass and held in place with race tape.

Optional telemetry

For an additional fee the team can be supplied telemetry via the pit network. Any information on the

vehicle CAN bus that teams wish to see and can supply CAN information for can be supplied. Teams

must provide all information and required channels four weeks prior to Event.

SLM:

The SLM is the device that will display the track state to the driver. It should be mounted in a position

that is easily seen by the driver. The SLM can be mounted by using the mounting points or by using

double sided tape. It is connected to the BOP Logger with the supplied wiring.

GPS

The GPS antenna must be mounted to the roof of the vehicle. The antenna has a powerful magnet

in the base, but it is suggested that it is also double sided taped down. The supplied cable is 1.8m

long and needs to be connected to the 4 Pin connector on the BOP box labelled GPS. Care needs

to be taken to ensure the cable is routed away from moving parts such as doors. Running the wiring

through the door jamb is not sufficient unless the wiring is protected from rubbing by the door.
