Appendix-74(2) Chasea. Both the car ahead and the car following will be penalized in the same manner as in single-trackraces. However, the penalty points for not passing the designated zone and the penalty points
for running one or two wheels off the track will not be applied to the following car only when it isin the same lane as the car ahead and the relative distance between the cars is close.
b. Additional points will be awarded to the trailing car for approaching the car ahead. The section
to be judged as being close and the details of the section will be specified in the special rules ofthe event or in the briefing material at the beginning of the event, and will be explained in detailat the briefing. The total number of points for close approach will be determined for each event.
In some cases, points may be deducted from the total number of points awarded if no points areawarded.

Appendix-

D1 Regulations

2) DOSS Operation(1) DOSS Scoring
The drift course scoring section shall be divided into 3 or more sectors. The sectors shall be a
mixture of start-up, turnaround and drift sectors, and each of these sectors shall be scored, withthe total score being the DOSS score.
The DOSS score shall be rounded to two decimal places in the case of a single run, and to a whole
number rounded to the first decimal place in the case of a chase run.
(2) Response to changing conditions
a. When the road surface conditions change, a predetermined correction factor will be applied to
the road surface level for scoring. The correction factor can be changed for each driving group,or for each one-half driving group if the group is divided into two halves.
b. In the single run, the 16 cars in the chase at the time of a change in surface conditions will be
divided into groups to determine their positions, regardless of the correction in paragraph a. In
this case, the single run ranking will be determined by the group that has the highest surface
level.
c. In this case, the 16th place in the Single Race will be determined by the number of points
corrected in Section a., and the 17th place and below will be determined by the number ofpoints corrected in Section a., from among the 16th place and below, excluding the 16th placeand below.
d. The same correction factor will be applied for the first and second runs when applying
paragraph a. in the chase.
(3) Measures to be taken in the event of a measurement failurea. In the event that data cannot be obtained due to a machine malfunction, the competition will betemporarily halted and the data recorded in the Drift Box, if available, will be used for scoring.
b. If there is a malfunction in the measuring equipment during the single run, the judges will
certify the ranking. However, in the case of obvious spins, etc., the judges will make up thepoints for the missing sectors and calculate the scores.
c. If there is a malfunction in the measuring equipment during the chase, the competition shall betemporarily halted and the judging shall be conducted by video. If a data failure occurs in thesecond run, the DOSS score of the first run shall be invalidated, and both the first and second
runs shall be judged based on the "video images already run".
d. In the event that measurement cannot be made for a long period of time due to DOSS machine
failure, etc., the official notification will be made by the race director, and then the judges andcourse officials will make a decision. In the case of a single race, the judges and course officials
will make a decision starting with the group in which the measurement failure occurred, andin principle, the selection between groups will be made in the same manner as when the roadsurface conditions change. However, if a defect occurs during the course of a group, judgment
shall be made again from the first run of the first car in the group. In the case of a follow-up
run, all subsequent runs, including the run in which the measurement defect is confirmed, shallbe judged by the judges.
(4) Restrictions on use of driver's radio
No radio transmission from the driver's side is allowed between the start standby point and thefinish line during the single run and chase races, as well as during the official practice sessions.

Appendix-(2) Installation of DOSS power supply
The wiring (+ and -) that is fed by the ignition ON must have terminals out near the passenger seat.
The connector terminals are shown in the figure below. (Direct battery connection route is not
acceptable).

(5) Countermeasures to suppress noise radio waves for GPS radio reception
a. Countermeasures against noisy radio waves
When a non-metallic hood is used, a sufficient area of the back surface of the hood near theigniter must be covered with aluminum foil (aluminum or copper tape is acceptable) to prevent
noise radio wave leakage from the igniter to the outside of the engine compartment. For igniters
installed inside the vehicle, the igniter itself must be covered with aluminum foil (aluminumor copper sheet is acceptable) to prevent noise radio wave leakage. When a non-metallic roofis used, a metal sheet (aluminum or copper tape) with a diameter of 200 mm or more must be
attached to the interior side of the GPS antenna and the interior side of the telemetry antenna(shark antenna) to deter noise emissions. When "electric water pump" is installed in thetrunk section with rear radiator conversion, the electric water pump and the interior must becompletely isolated by a metal wall. If a cooling suit is used, the electric water pump for thecooling suit installed in the interior must be covered with aluminum or copper tape.
b. Prohibited installation of electronic devices around the GPS antenna
No electronic devices such as radios, antennas, cameras, loggers, etc. shall be installed within a
50 cm radius of the DOSS GPS antenna.
c. Window glass must have a gap through which the cable of the DOSS instrument can passF

For vehicles with non-magnetic roofs (aluminum, carbon, etc.), when first installing the sharkantenna of the DOSS unit, two stainless steel plates identical to the GPS antenna mounting
base in (1) above must be attached and maintained in that condition thereafter for competition
participation.

Appendix-

D1 Regulations

5) Installation of DOSS installation device
All vehicles participating in D1 Grand Prix Series competitions are required to have the following DOSS
installation structure as part of the vehicle structure. The following conditions of the vehicle structure
are subject to vehicle inspection as part of the vehicle structure at the time of vehicle inspection forthe competition, and must be completed prior to vehicle inspection.
(1) GPS antenna mounting position
A mounting base plate (supplied item: ferrite stainless steel plate 40 mm square with doublesided adhesive tape) must be installed on the roof of all vehicles at the midpoint of the wheelbase
at the vehicle center line. If the wheelbase center hangs over the windshield section, it shall be
installed 60 mm from the rear edge of the windshield. For sponsor displays, etc. in this area, theantenna shall take precedence. For roofs made of non-metallic materials, a metal sheet (aluminumtape, etc.) with a diameter of 200 mm or more must be installed in this area (even on the interiorside) as a radio wave shielding measure.

13. Series Points
In this series, series points shall be awarded to each participating driver and each participating teamwith the results specified below. The points from each event of the series shall be added together toform the annual series points, and the single-driver series champion, driver series champion, and teamseries champion shall be recognized. However, no points will be awarded to competitors whose vehicles
are found to have violated vehicle regulations, had the beads of their tires fall off as stipulated in 7.2) (6),or violated the allowable tire size based on vehicle weight for that event.
