Class 1
Budget is $100000 in 2016 trim
3.1.2
Class 2

3.2.
Budget = (Material cost Engine + Material cost Body + Driver Budget)
3.3.
The budget is per entry of the team as per Rule 4. -
Entries
4.1.
Production Units = Production Units (Body/Chassis) + Production Units (Engine)
4.2.
The number of Production Units will effect the number of entries as follows.
4.2.1
Class 1
0 - 1000 Production Units = 3 entries,
1001 - 2000 Production Units = 2 entries
2001+ = 1 entry
4.2.2
Class 2
0 - 700 Production Units = 3 entries,
701 - 1400 Production Units = 2 entries
1401+ = 1 entry
4.3.
A team that is eligible for multiple entries must use the same nominated vehicle but can use alternate Race Strategy and vehicle setup. -

(Thankyou to all track creators and gitub)
-
Reliability Factors
6.1.
For each 3 hours each vehicle will have 3 Random Numbers generated from 0 - 100
The first and second will relate to Reliability Factor 1, Reliability Factor 2 and the Brake Factor.
if the Random Number is higher than the Reliability Factor this will result in a
Vehicle Failure.
6.2.
Reliability factor 1 = Reliability of engine x 1.3
6.3.
Reliability factor 2= (((Avg. Reliability x 3)-Engine Reliability)/2) x 1.3
6.4.
Brake factor = ((Brake Cooling (kJ/s)/(Weight(kg) x 0.1) )x 100) + Brake Fade
e.g. 100kJ/s cooling for each ton will give 100 Brake Factor
up to a maximum of 100 before taking the Brake Fade into account
6.5.
A Vehicle that is unable to achieve a level of Brake Cooling Sufficient to give a Brake Cooling Factor of 100 will be granted a Brake Cooling Factor of 100 provided that the Brake Cooling Slider is set to its maximum position -
Driver Effects
7.1.
Driving Factor = Drivability x (Driver Budget / $50000)
7.2.
A Team with multiple entries may A-symmetrically distribute the driver budget across their entries
7.3.
For each lap a Random Number will be generated from 0 - 100 to Calculate the Driver Lap Time
7.4.
Driver Lap time = Lap Time x (1 + (0.0002 x (Random Number - Driving Factor1.5)))
A (Random Number - Driving Factor1.5) scoring less than 0 will result in a perfect lap and match the
timed lap of the circuit. -
Tyre Strategy
8.1.
Tyres will have a Range Factor of (1000kg/Vehicle Mass)^2 applied the available range of the tyres
8.2.
Semi Slick Tyres will have a 75 km Range
Sports Compound Road will have a 150 km Range
Medium Compound Road will have a 350 km Range
Hard Long Life Road will have a 1000 km Range
Chunky off road will have a 1000Km Range
8.3.
Tyres will be effected by a Performance Drop related to the track and compound then multiplied by the number of laps that the tyre has been run then multiplied by a Tyre performance Drop Factor
8.4.
Tyre Performance Drop Factor = (1000kg/Vehicle Mass)^2
8.5. (Performance Drop Values for Silverstone)
Semi Slick Tyres = 0.0012 per lap the tyre has been run
Sports Compound Road = 0.0006 per lap the tyre has been run
Medium Compound Road = 0.00032 per lap the tyre has been run
Hard Long Life Road = 0 per lap the tyre has been run
Chunky off road = 0 per lap the tyre has been run -
Fuel Strategy
9.1.
All vehicles will be fitted with 150 litre tanks
9.2.
Fuel used per lap = ((2 x economy)/100) x lap distance
9.3.
All Vehicles will be subjected to a time penalty per kg of fuel being carried at the start of the lap
9.4.
Time penalty per kg of fuel = 0.018s per kg (for Silverstone)
9.5.
Fuel weight will be taken as 0.75kg per litre -
Pit Stops
10.1.
Pit Stop Time = 40s + (0.2s/L x No.litre refuelling)
10.2.
The standard race strategy will run the maximum length that the tyres are capable of and fuelling with the required fuel to travel that distance. The starting level of fuel will be +5 litre of that required to reach the first pit stop.
Unless your tyres outlast your fuel then you fill up and pit to completely refuel just before you run out.

Vehicle Modification (Between races or entries)
11.1
Changes to the Top Speed (Diff Ratio), Aerodynamic (Cooling and Downforce), Tyre compound, Brake Pad Material and Accessories up to and including wing, lips, vents and grilles are allowed.
11.2
Any modification to the vehicle not specifically mentioned in Rule 11.1. is NOT ALLOWED.
11.3

12.2.
Any modification to the engine not specifically mentioned in Rule 12.1. is NOT ALLOWED. -
Engine Development Sharing
A manufacturer may choose to release the engine they are running for use by other teams and
give themselves an increased fielding of vehicles for the Engine Manufacturer Championship.
If a team chooses to use another manufacturers engine they must use that engine for the season.
Only changes that are permitted in Rule 12. can be applied. -
Point Scoring
14.1.
The vehicle that achieves Pole Position will be awarded 5 points.
14.2.
The vehicle that achieves Fastest Lap will be awarded 5 points.
14.3.
The vehicle that achieves First Position will be awarded 5 points.
14.5.
1 point for each 10km the Vehicle completes will be awarded. -
Qualifying
15.1.
The Qualifying Lap Time of each vehicle will be a Driver Lap time without Tyre or Fuel Effects -
Awards (A virtual pat on the back from your fellow competitors) In order of importance
16.1.
Manufacturer Championship
16.2.
Driver Championship
16.3.
Engine Manufacturer Championship
16.4.
Each of the Awards is worth 1 point towards the ultimate engineer
if no team can score more than 2 point then the award goes to the Manufacturer Champion
Example Calculations
Fuel
A vehicle with economy of 10L/100km on a 5km track will have to pit after
150 / (((2 x 10)/100) x 5) = 150 laps
Fuel used per lap = ((2 x 10)/100) x 5 = 1 L/lap
Time penalty per kg of fuel = 0.018s per kg (for Silverstone)
e.g. a vehicle has a Driver Tyre Lap time of 121.566s after 45 laps having started the
stint with 100 litres of fuel and fuel usage as above.
Final lap time = Driver Tyre Lap time + (((100L -(1L/lap x 45laps)) x 0.75kg/L) x 0.018s/kg)
=121.566s + (41.25kg x 0.018s/kg) = 122.3085s
Pit Stop Time
Pit Stop Time = 40s + (0.2s/L x No.litre refueling)
e.g. a vehicle stops for 70litres of fuel
Pit Stop Time = 40s + (0.2s/L x 70L) = 54s and is added to the lap time of the lap pitting
if Brake Fade = -7.0% will give 93 Brake Factor
Budget
Budget is $100000 in 2016 trim
Budget = (Material cost Engine + Material cost Body + Driver Budget)
e.g. Material cost Engine = $8000 and Material cost Body = $55000 then the
Driver Budget = $100000 - ($8000 + $55000) = $37000
Drivability Factor
Drivability Factor = Drivability x (Driver Budget / $50000)
e.g. A vehicle has Divability of 22.3 and a Driver Budget of $70000
Drivability Factor = 22.3 x ($70000/$50000) = 31.22
Tyre Strategy
A Vehicle has a Mass of 800kg and uses Semi Slick Tyres
Range = (1000kg/800kg)^2 * 75km = 93.75km
A vehicle with a Range of 93.75km on a 5.0km circuit must pit for
tyres at 93.75km / 5(km/lap) = 18.75 laps therefore Lap 18 to avoid a blowout
A Vehicle has a Mass of 800kg and uses Semi Slick Tyres
Tyre Performance Drop = (800kg/1000kg)^2 * 0.0012 s/Lap = 0.000768 s/Lap
The vehicle above has a Driver Lap time of 120s and tyres
that are 25 laps old
The Driver Tyre Lap time will be 120s + (120 x (0.000768 x 25)) = 122.304s
