D 5.2 DVS Qualifying 5.2.1 Where the number of Cars entered for a Meeting exceeds the ASN’s applicable track capacity density, a system will be established that enables all Cars entered for the Meeting to compete until the close of qualifying, at which time the grid will be formed subject to rule D6 and the ASN’s track density. 5.2.2 The details of any such system will be advised in Supplementary Regulations. D 5.3 Qualifying Separation 5.3.1 Qualifying will be split into two (2) sessions, an In any case where the Supplementary

Regulations specify qualifying sessions be separated into two sections expressed as Upper 50% and a Lower 50%” (or such similar expression), determination of Cars into one or other session will be assessed determined on the fastest of all times achieved by each Car in all officially designated practice sessions. Where this separation results in an odd number of Cars, the lesser number will comprise the “Upper 50%”. 5.3.2 Rule D 5.3.1 will apply unless the Stewards determine that, in exceptional

circumstances (e.g., but not limited to, weather/track conditions) the qualifying session separation should be abandoned or determined on another basis.

5.5.1 If no later than thirty (30) minutes (or such other period determined by the Stewards in the interests of fairness) before the time scheduled for the beginning of the qualifying sessions, the race track is damp or wet, or to accommodate reasonably foreseeable variable conditions, the Race Director with the agreement of the Stewards may combine the qualifying sessions and the duration of the combined session will be set by the Stewards after consultation with the Race Director and the CTD.

5.5.2 If, due to exceptional circumstances a qualifying session can not be completed, the Stewards may allocate grid positions according to practice session times or by another criteria. D 5.6 TOP TEN SHOOTOUT 5.61 The combined results of both the Upper 50% and the Lower 50% qualifying sessions will determine the starters and the starting order for the Shootout unless otherwise determined by the Stewards. 5.6.2 The Shootout will be regarded as a qualifying session for those Drivers who achieve

the ten fastest times in either the Upper 50% or the Lower 50% qualifying sessions. 5.6.3 From the time that the Car is parked in Pit Lane in accordance with Rule D11.4.11.2, it will not be permitted to work on the Car until the Car has cleared all scrutineering checks and been released by the CTD except with the express permission of the CTD. 5.6.4 Any Car that does not comply with D5.6.3 may be excluded from the Shootout. 5.6.5 The starting order for the Shootout will be from tenth to first as established by the

of the Car pointing toward Pit Exit. 8.1.2 Observation Lap: Fifteen Ten minutes before the scheduled time for the to Warm-up Lap: When 15 minutes remain before the warm up lap, a warning will be sounded and the starter will display a 15-Minute board to Pit Lane, which will be the signal that the Pit Lane exit is open and the Cars will leave the pits for may proceed to the grid on one (1) observation lap, at the end of which each Car must stop on the grid in its allocated grid position place, and pit crew may then approach the Cars for final

preparation. For VCS Races, the Cars must exit Pit Lane in Pit Garage order when directed to do so (Rule D 2). A Car will not be permitted to move out of it’s Pit Bay until the previous Car has wholly entered the fast lane unless the previous Car has an obvious problem and cannot exit it’s Pit Bay as directed. Any such Car will be required to remain in its Pit Bay until the last Car in Pit Garage order has entered the fast lane and passed it to exit Pit Lane. Only one observation lap is permitted. An audible

warning will sound 2 minutes before the closure of the Pit Lane exit and also again when the Pit Lane exit is closed. 8.1.3 Pit Exit Closed: Five minutes to Warm-Up: When 5 minutes remain before the warm- up lap, a warning will be sounded and a 5-Minute board will be displayed: the Pit Lane exit will be closed at this time. Cars qualified to start but which have not taken their position on the grid may be permitted to start the race from the Pit Lane exit, pursuant to Rule D 8.1.13.

8.1.4 Three minutes to Warm-up: When 3 minutes remain before the warm-up lap a warning will be sounded and a 3-Minute board will be displayed by the Starter. 8.1.5 Two minutes to Warm-up: When 2 minutes remain before the warm-up lap, a warning will be sounded and a 2-Minute board displayed by the Starter.

warning will be sounded, and a 1-Minute board displayed by the starter. The grid will be cleared of all personnel. If a Car does not start or stalls, the Driver must raise one hand high or give another appropriate signal. The Car may be push-started by officials, or, if so directed by officials, by the pit crew, after the rest of the field has left the grid; in which case the Car must go straight to the Pit Lane where the Driver must be able to demonstrate to the CTD that the Car can be started on the starter motor

without any external assistance. 8.1.7 Thirty seconds to Warm-up: When 30 seconds remain before the warm-up lap a warning will be sounded and the starter will display a 30-Second board. When the starter displays the green flag, all Cars may then proceed on a warm-up lap led by the Car on pole position. 8.1.8 Warm-up lap: During the warm-up lap Cars will maintain their starting order with the pole position Driver leading. Passing is only allowed in order to maintain formation.

8.1.9 Return to grid: When Cars return to the grid, each Car must stop on its allocated grid position. Drivers must not stop and do practice starts / "burn outs". 8.1.10 Five second indication: When the starter is satisfied that all Cars are correctly positioned, the starter will indicate that there are approximately five (5) seconds before the red light is to be switched on; at this time all Cars that took their correct place on © V8 Supercars –2006 Division “D” Page D 16 the grid prior to the start of the Warm-up lap, or are, at or approaching the Pit Lane

exit in Pit Lane, are deemed to have come under the starter’s orders. 8.1.11 Red/Green lights: At any time not less than three (3) seconds and not more than five (5) seconds after the red light is shown, the start of the race will be indicated by the extinguishing of the red light.

If the lights are not functioning, the National Flag will be used, being raised at the five (5) second

mark, and dropped to indicate the start of the race. 8.1.12 Flashing yellow lights: will indicate a delayed warm-up lap or aborted start, and a "Start Delayed" board will be displayed. In this case the start procedure will re- commence from the 52-Minute signal and the race may be shortened under the authority of the Stewards for each aborted pre-race lap completed. The Car or Cars that caused the delayed warm-up lap or aborted start will be permitted to start the race but only from either the rear of the grid or Pit Lane in any subsequent race restart.

8.1.13 Starting from Pit Lane: Any Car that is unable to take its place on the grid at the end of its observation lap or that encounters a problem during the warm-up lap and is unable to keep up may either stay or be driven into Pit Lane instead of proceeding to the grid. The Car may then start the race from the Pit Lane exit (having come under Starter's Orders – Rule D 8.1.10), but only on the direction of an official, and after the rest of the field has passed the Pit Lane exit. Any Car, not having come under starter’s orders

(Rule D 8.1.10) will be deemed to be a non-starter and will receive a black flag. If any Car is driven to the grid instead of to the Pit Lane, it must start the race from the rear of the grid. 8.1.14 Car stopped on grid: If a Car does not start or stalls at this stage, the Driver must raise one hand high or give another appropriate signal. Any Car which is still on the grid after the field has left the grid may be push-started by officials, or, if so directed by officials, by the pit crew; in which case the Car must go straight to the Pit Lane where

the Driver must be able to demonstrate to the CTD that the Car can be started on the starter motor without any external assistance. D 8.2 Endurance Rounds Unless advised in Supplementary or Further Regulations or Bulletins the following Starting procedure will be followed at all Endurance Rounds. 8.2.1 Forty Thirty minutes to Warm-up Lap: When 40 30 minutes remain before the warm up lap, a warning will be sounded. and the starter will display a 40-Minute board to Pit Lane, At this time all Cars must be pushed into their Pit bays at an angle of 45% with

the nose of the Car pointing toward Pit Exit. 8.2.2 Observation Lap: Thirty Twenty minutes before the scheduled time for the warm-up lap a warning will be sounded and the Cars will leave the pits for one (1) observation lap, at the end of which each Car must stop on their allocated grid positions with their engines stopped. The Cars must exit Pit Lane in Pit Garage order when directed to do so. (Rule D 2). A Car will not be permitted to move out of it’s Pit Bay until the previous

Car has wholly entered the fast lane unless the previous Car has an obvious problem and cannot exit it’s Pit Bay as directed. Any such Car will be required to remain in its Pit Bay until the last Car in Pit Garage order has entered the fast lane and passed it to exit Pit Lane. Only one observation lap is permitted.

restart. 8.2.14 Starting from Pit Lane: Any Car that is unable to take its place on the grid at the end of its observation lap or that encounters a problem during the warm-up lap and is unable to keep up may either stay or be driven into Pit Lane instead of proceeding to the grid. The Car may then start the race from the Pit Lane exit (having come under Starter's © V8 Supercars –2006 Division “D” Page D 18 Orders – Rule D 8.2.10), but only on the direction of an official, and after the rest of the field

has passed the Pit Lane exit. Any Car, not having come under starter’s orders (Rule D 8.2.10), will be deemed to be a non-starter and will receive a black flag. If the Car is driven to the grid instead of to the Pit Lane, it must start the race from the rear of the grid. 8.2.15 Car stopped on grid: If a Car does not start or stalls at this stage, the Driver must raise one hand high or give another appropriate signal. Any Car which is still on the grid after the field has left the grid may be push-started by officials, or, if so directed by

officials, by the pit crew; in which case the Car must go straight to the Pit Lane where the Driver must be able to demonstrate to the CTD that the Car can be started on the starter motor without any external assistance. D 8.3 Race Starts by Safety Car 8.3.1 In exceptional circumstances a race may be started behind the SC. 8.3.2 In this case, at the 5-minute signal (for Endurance Rounds) or the two (2) minute signal (for Sprint Rounds), the flashing yellow lights of the SC and the red starting light

will be turned on, which will be the signal to drivers that the race will be started behind the SC. 8.3.3 When the starter extinguishes the red light, the SC will leave the grid with all the Cars following in single file and grid order no more than five (5) Car-lengths apart. The race will be considered started when the leading Car crosses the control line at the end of is lap. The SC will withdraw in the prescribed manner when directed by the Race Director. 8.3.4 Overtaking during the first lap is permitted only if a Car is delayed when leaving its grid

position and the Cars behind cannot avoid passing it without unduly delaying the remainder of the field. In this case, drivers may only overtake to re-establish the original starting order. 8.3.5 Any driver – stationary after the remainder of the Cars had crossed the starting line – who is thus delayed leaving the grid, may not overtake another moving Car and must form up at the back of the line of Cars behind the SC. If more that one driver is affected, they must form up at the back of the field in the order they left the grid.

When the red flag is displayed, all Drivers must immediately reduce the speed of their Cars in

the knowledge that: 9.1.1.1 the race classification will be that at the end of the penultimate lap before the lap in which the signal to stop the race was given; 9.1.1.2 race and service vehicles may be on the track; 9.1.1.3 the circuit may be totally blocked because of an accident; 9.1.1.4 weather conditions may have made the circuit undriveable at racing speed; 9.1.1.5 the pit lane will be open; and 9.1.1.6 any overtaking is strictly prohibited and 9.1.1.7 all Cars will proceed to either the rear of the grid or Pit Lane.

9.1.2 Unless permitted by Supplementary/Further Regulations, refuelling is prohibited during a red flag period however, in the case where a Car has entered Pit Lane and passed the Pit Lane speed restriction sign prior to the display of the red flag, refuelling of that Car is allowed. 9.1.3 If a race can be restarted, the procedure to be followed after a race has been stopped will vary according to the number of laps completed by the leading Car before the signal to stop the race was given. The relevant procedures are set out in Rules D 9.2,

D 9.3, D 9.4 and D 9.5. D 9.2 Restart - Case A 9.2.1 This Rule D 9.2 will apply if the race was stopped after less than two (2) full laps had been completed by the lead Car. 9.2.2 Other than any Investigations, Penalties that have been imposed but not served, Penalties that may be assessed and imposed as a result of any Investigation and Hearing, the original start will be deemed null and void. 9.2.3 The length of the restarted race will be the full original race length unless the Stewards

direct a shorter length or time. 9.2.4 The Drivers who were eligible to take part in the race will be eligible for the restart but only in the Car in which they started the aborted race. a) Any such Cars will be permitted to join the Race irrespective of whether or not they came under starters orders at the time of the Race restart. b) Any Car that has returned to the Pit Lane before the restart will be required to leave the Pit Lane following the restart prior to completing the CPS

requirements. 9.2.5 After the signal to stop the race has been given, all Cars able to do so will proceed slowly and directly to: 9.2.5.1 (if the grid is clear) to their original grid position; or 9.2.5.2 (if the grid is not clear) to a position behind the last grid position as directed by the marshals; or 9.2.5.3 the pit lane. 9.2.6 All Cars may be worked on, except that refuelling is prohibited unless D 9.1.2 applies. 9.2.7 If work on a Car is carried out on the grid, it must be done at the Car’s original grid

position unless approved by the Race Director, and must not impede any preparations for the new start. 9.2.8 Unless otherwise specified in Supplementary Regulations, the Race will be restarted at the five (5) minute signal. The Pit Lane Exit will close at the three (3) minute signal. © V8 Supercars –2006 Division “D” Updated 22 June 2006 Page D 20 9.2.9 The Race Director may at his discretion instruct the Cars to complete an additional Warm Up lap/s prior to the Race restart.

D 9.3 Restart – Case B 9.3.1 This Rule D 9.3 will apply if the race is stopped after two or more full laps, but less than 75 percent of the race distance/duration (rounded up to the next lap/minute) has been completed by the leading Car. 9.3.2 The following matters will be carried over from the original race start at the restart: 9.3.2.1 The CPS requirements under Rule D11.1, including when the CPS Window

will open and close save that: a) If the CPS Window had not opened prior to the stopping of the original race, the new CPS Window will open after the leader has completed five (5) laps of the restarted race; b) If the CPS Window had opened prior to the stopping of the original race, the Car must cross the Control line on the track proper before entering the Pit Lane to commence a CPS. 9.3.2.2 Any Car that has returned to the Pit Lane before the restart will be required to leave the Pit Lane following the restart prior to completing the CPS

requirements. 9.3.2.3 Any Investigations, Penalties that have been imposed but not served; 9.3.2.4 Penalties that may be assessed and imposed as a result of any Investigation and Hearing 9.3.2.5 The Race order at the end of the penultimate lap before the lap in which the signal to stop the Race was given; 9.3.2.6 The number of laps covered by each Driver; 9.3.2.7 Any race lap record set during the original Race; and 9.3.2.8 The number of CPS’s already completed by each Car. Other than the above, the original race will be deemed null and void. CPS

requirements under Rule D11.1, any Investigations, penalties that have been imposed but not served, penalties that may be assessed and imposed as a result of any Investigation and Hearing and the race order at the end of the penultimate lap before the lap in which the signal to stop the race was given and the number of laps covered by each Driver, the original race will be deemed null and void. 9.3.3 The length of the restarted race will be three (3) laps less than the original race

distance less the number of laps completed by the leading Car before the signal to stop was given unless the Stewards approve a shorter length or time. 9.3.4 The grid for the restarted race will be arranged in the race order at the end of the penultimate lap before the lap in which the signal to stop the race was given; the grid positions will not be closed up should any Cars be unable to start. 9.3.5 Only Cars which took part in the original start will be eligible to re-start and then only if

they returned under their own power by an authorised route to either the Pit Lane, to a position behind the last grid position as directed by the marshals, or to the grid. Any such Cars will be permitted to rejoin the Race irrespective of whether or not they came under starters orders at the time of the Race restart. 9.3.5.1 The Race Director may at his discretion instruct the Cars to complete an additional Warm Up lap/s prior to the Race restart. 9.3.6 Cars may be worked on in the pits or on the grid, but subject to Rule D 9.1.2, no

refuelling is permitted at this time; see Rule D 9.3.8. © V8 Supercars –2006 Division “D” Updated 22 June 2006 Page D 20B 9.3.7 If work on a Car is carried out on the grid, it must be done at the Car’s allocated grid position, unless approved by the Race Director, and must not impede any preparations for the new start. 9.3.8 If a Car returns to the pits for refuelling, such refuelling may only commence after the restart, after which the Car may rejoin the race.

9.3.9 Unless otherwise specified in Supplementary Regulations, the Race will be restarted at the five (5) minute signal. The Pit Lane exit will close at the three (3) minute signal. 9.3.10 Any decisions made by the Race Director in regard to the above will be final and are not subject to Protest. D 9.4 No Restart 9.4.1 After 75% distance/duration has been completed. 9.4.1.1 This Rule D 9.4.1 will apply if the race was stopped after 75% or more of the original race distance/duration (rounded up to the next lap/minute) had been

completed by the lead Car. 9.4.1.2 The Cars will be sent directly to the parc ferme and the race will be deemed to have finished, and the race classification will be the race order at the end of the penultimate lap before the lap in which the signal to stop the race was given. 9.4.2 When 75% distance/duration has not been completed. 9.4.2.1 This Rule D 9.4.2 will apply if the race was stopped after two or more full laps, but less than 75 percent of the race distance/duration (rounded up to

the next lap/minute) had been completed by the lead Car and due to extreme circumstance the Race cannot be restarted. 9.4.2.2 The Cars will be sent directly to the parc ferme and the race will be deemed to have finished, and the race classification will be the race order at the end of the penultimate lap before the lap in which the signal to stop the race was given. D 9.5 Case A & B Restarts 9.5.1 Unless otherwise specified in Supplementary Regulations, in each case the Race will

be restarted at the five (5) minute signal, at which time the The Pit Lane Exit will close at the three (3) minute signal. © V8 Supercars –2006 Division “D” Page D 21 D 10 SAFETY CAR (“SC”) PROCEDURES D 10.1 Intervention The Race Director has the right to order the intervention of the Safety Car (“SC”) at any time. D 10.2 Identification 10.2.1 The SC will be marked SAFETY CAR on the rear in letters of similar dimensions to those of the race numbers and on the side in suitable dimensions. Alternatively or

additionally, with the approval of the Race Director, an electronic sign may be attached to the light bar to display the words SAFETY CAR. 10.2.2 The SC will have three flashing yellow lights on the roof each powered by a different electrical circuit and at least one clearly visible rearward facing green light. It will be driven by an experienced circuit Driver. It will carry an approved observer capable of recognising all the competing Cars, who is in permanent radio contact with race

control. D 10.3 Commencement of a race Prior to the warm-up lap the SC will take up position at the front of the grid and remain there until the five (5) minute signal (for Endurance Rounds) or the two (2) minute signal (for Sprint Rounds). At this signal the SC will cover a whole lap of the circuit and enter the pit lane or the place determined by the Race Director. D 10.4 Deployment of SC During a Race 10.4.1 The SC will be deployed to neutralise a race upon the decision of the Race Director. It

will normally be used if competitors or officials are in immediate physical danger but the circumstances are not such to necessitate stopping the race. 10.4.2 When the order is given to deploy the SC during the race, all flag posts will display a waved yellow flag and a SC board which will be displayed until the intervention is over. 10.4.3 When notified of the SC intervention (by the flag signals and SC boards), all Cars will reduce speed and line up behind the SC maintaining the same speed as the SC.

Overtaking of the SC is forbidden unless signalled to do so by the observer in the SC, at which time the Car may overtake the SC and continue at reduced speed until the Car reaches the line of Cars behind the SC. The SC will be used at least until the leader or other relevant Car is behind the SC. 10.4.4 During the race, the SC with its flashing lights on, will start from the Pit Lane and will join the race track regardless of where the race leader may be. 10.4.5 When ordered to do so by the Race Director, the observer in the SC will use a green

light on the rear of the Car (or other signal) to signal individual Cars between it and the race leader (or other relevant Car – e.g. should the leader stop, the next Car in the line will take that position – this Car may not necessarily be the second place Car) that it should pass, and such Cars will continue at reduced speed and without overtaking until they reach the line of Cars behind the SC. 10.4.6 The SC will be used at least until the race leader (or other relevant Car) is behind it

and generally when all remaining Cars are lined up behind it. 10.4.7 All Cars must maintain the same speed as the SC whilst in convoy and the same speed as the Car in front. All Drivers must maintain a maximum distance of five (5) Car-lengths from the Car in front. The Stewards may impose a penalty upon any Driver who is considered to have gained an unfair advantage (inadvertently or not) from a breach of this Rule; and should a Driver breach this Rule for the benefit of another, both may be penalised.

10.4.8 While the SC is in operation, Drivers may stop at their Pit Bay, but may only rejoin the track when the Pit Lane exit is open. Pit Lane exit will be open at all times except © V8 Supercars –2006 Division “D” Page D 22 when the SC and the line of Cars following it are about to pass, or are passing, the Pit Lane exit; and also after a restart. A Car rejoining the track must proceed at reduced speed until it reaches the end of the line of Cars behind the SC. 10.4.9 Unless otherwise advised in Supplementary/Further Regulations, Cars may

commence a CPS (Rule D 11.1) while the Safety Car board is displayed. 10.4.10 Under certain circumstances, such as the pit straight being blocked by an incident, the Race Director may ask the SC to drive through the Pit Lane. In these cases, and provided it's orange lights remain illuminated, all Cars must follow it into the pit lane without overtaking. Any Car entering the Pit Lane under these circumstances may stop at its designated garage area. D 10.5 End of SC Deployment

10.5.1 When the Race Director calls in the SC, it will extinguish all the flashing lights and enter the pits at the end of that lap. 10.5.2 As the SC is entering the pits, the yellow flags and SC boards at the flag posts will be withdrawn. 10.5.3 When the SC has pulled off the circuit and the Cars are approaching the control line, a green light/green flag will be shown at the start line and all flag posts will wave a green flag. 10.5.4 Overtaking or any degree of overlapping remains strictly forbidden until the Cars pass

the control (timing) line unless a Car slows with an obvious problem. 10.5.5 The green flags will be withdrawn after one lap. 10.5.6 If the race ends whilst the Safety Car is deployed it will enter the Pits at the end of the last lap and the Cars will take the chequered flag without overtaking or any degree of overlapping. 10.5.7 Following the withdrawal of the Safety Car, any Cars that are not racing on the lead lap of the Race are required, as soon as it is safe to do so, to move off the racing line

and let any Cars that are racing on the lead lap to overtake them. Any Car judged to have failed to comply with this rule may be have a PLP or other penalties as determined by the Stewards applied. D 10.6 Race Laps Unless otherwise provided in Supplementary/Further Regulations 10.6.1 In all VCS and DVS MeetingsRounds, each lap while the SC is deployed will be counted as a Race lap. 10.6.2 In DVS Rounds, the first five (5) total laps completed during the SC intervention will not be counted as race laps; but after the completion of the fifth (5th) intervention lap,

any further laps under the SC will be counted as race laps. For avoidance of doubt, a race distance may be extended by up to 5 laps and any change of position (eg. a lap lost due to a pit stop) will be reflected in the results. 10.6.3 In races expressed in time rather than in distance or a number of laps, each lap of the SC intervention will be counted as a race lap. D 10.7 Race Starts by SC Moved to Rule D8.3 D 10.8 Race Finishes by SC If the Race ends whilst the SC is deployed it will enter the Pit Lane at the end of the last lap

and the Cars will take the chequered flag as normal without overtaking. © V8 Supercars –2006 Division “D” Page D 23 D 11 PIT STOPS D 11.1 Types 11.1.1 Discretionary Pit Stops (“DPS”): 11.1.1.1 May be undertaken at any time during any practice, warm-up or Qualifying (however described) session, or race; 11.1.1.2 Are for making adjustments or ‘running repairs’ to a Car, or changing tyres and/or other matters which require rectification; 11.1.1.3 In which no refuelling is permitted unless specifically authorised in

D 14.2 Series’ Trophies After the final CompetitionMeeting of each Season, at a date and place to be advised to Competitors by the first day of November each Season: 14.2.1 V8 Supercars will present the VCS trophies; and 14.2.2 V8 Supercars and the DVS Series Sponsor will present the DVS trophies, at the Season End Award Night. 14.2.3 It is compulsory for all Competitors and Drivers entered in the VCS to attend the

Season End Award Night. Drivers who have competed in the Endurance Rounds only are not required to comply with this Rule. D 14.3 Series’ Races to Count 14.3.1 All Races in each Round of the DVS will count in determining the final result of the DVS SeriesChampionship. 14.3.2 At the end of Round 109 of the VCS, the lowest point scoring round attended by each Driver in the VCS will be dropped from that Driver’s VCS series point score. 14.3.3 All rounds of the VCS after the conclusion of Round 109 will be counted in each VCS

Driver’s overall point score. 14.3.4 A maximum of 12 Rounds of the VCS per Driver will count in determining the final result of the VCS Drivers Championship. 14.3.5 Results from Meetings not forming a Round of either the DVS or the VCS will have no bearing on the determination of either SeriesChampionship. D 14.4 Determination of Driver’s Series Points 14.4.1 Drivers will be awarded series points on the general classification in each race in each Round of each series, subject to any penalties imposed.

14.4.2 For the DVS: 14.4.2.1 Series points will be awarded according to the tables contained in Schedule D 1; 14.4.2.2 The aggregate point score achieved by each Driver in a Round will become the DVS points for that Round. 14.4.2.3 Non-finishers in any one (1) race will not be awarded DVS points for that race. 14.4.2.4 Ties for points position at a round will be resolved by allocating Round finishing positions in the order of the results in the last race of the Round. 14.4.2.5 In the event of two or more Drivers scoring equal points at the end of the

series, the final series order will be determined by reference to each Driver’s overall placing at each round conducted. The Driver with the greater number of first places will assume the higher place in the final series order. If this fails to break the tie, then the Driver with the greater number of second places will assume the higher place in the series order and so on until the tie is broken. 14.4.3 For the VCS: 14.4.3.1 Series points will be awarded according to the tables contained in Schedule

D 2; © V8 Supercars –2006 Division “D” Page D 33 14.4.3.2 The aggregate point score achieved by each driver in a Round will become the VCS points for that Round. 14.4.3.3 Non-finishers in any one (1) race will not be awarded VCS points for that race. 14.4.3.4 Ties for points position at a round will be resolved by allocating round finishing positions in the order of the results in the last race of the Round. 14.4.3.5 At rounds 98 & 910, points awarded to each Driver will be the full points

awarded to the Car. For the avoidance of doubt, this means, for example the winning Drivers at the Bathurst 1000 will each receive 192320 points. 14.4.3.6 In the event of two (2) or more Drivers scoring equal points at the end of the series, the final series order will be determined by reference to each Driver’s overall placing at each round conducted.

Page D 34 D 15 PARITY D 15.1 There will be a parity system that will automatically identify any disparity between the various makes and models of cars competing in the Championship. This system will also identify the magnitude of any disparity and provide a process where changes to the specification of the Cars required to address the disparity, can be identified. The system is based on an automatic analysis of lap times, directly from the V8 Supercars timing system after each Round.

D 15.2 The TEGA Board will annually appoint the TEGA Parity Committee who will undertake Parity reviews after each round of the VCS. They will report their findings following the guidelines set by the TEGA Board, which will be advised to the Teams from time to time. © V8 Supercars –2006 Division “D” Page D 35 D 16 WEIGHING OF CARS DURING OFFICIAL SESSIONS 16.1 In order to check compliance with C5.1.3, Cars may be weighed in Pit Lane at anytime during, or at the conclusion of any qualifying sessions as follows:

16.1.1 Weigh Scales will be positioned in Pit Lane, as close as is practical to Pit Entry. 16.1.2 Cars will be selected to be weighed at random, and a Driver will be informed that his Car has been selected to be weighed by means of a red light that will be located at the beginning of Pit Lane. 16.1.3 Once a Car has been selected to be weighed, and shown the red light, the Driver must proceed directly to the weigh scales and stop his engine. The Driver must then follow all directions of the Officials within the weighing

area. 16.1.4 Each Car selected will be weighed with the Driver onboard. If the Car is found not to comply with the Rules with the Driver onboard, it will be reweighed without the Driver. 16.1.5 If any Car is unable to reach the weigh scales under its own power, it will be placed under the exclusive control of Officials who will take the Car to be weighed. 16.1.6 If a Driver fails to position his car correctly on the weigh scales (other than the normal forwards/backwards push) the Driver will be advised, and he

should proceed onto the circuit without stopping at his pit, complete one lap and return to the weighing area to be weighed. 16.1.7 A Car or Driver may not leave the weighing area without the prior consent of the Officials 16.1.8 No one other than officials (and the Driver being weighed) may enter the weighing area. No intervention of any kind is allowed unless authorised by such Officials. 16.2 No solid, liquid, gas or other substance or matter of whatsoever nature may be added

to, placed on or removed from a Car after it has been selected for weighing, has finished the race or during the weighing procedure (except by an official acting in there official capacity.) 16.3 Judges of Fact will be appointed for the operation and results of the weigh scales used in Pit Lane 16.4 Should damage occur to the weigh scales through the negligence of the Driver or the Competitor, sufficiently to render them unusable for the remainder of that qualifying session, then the qualifying times for that Car from that session will be deleted and the

Competitor will be liable for the cost of any necessary repairs. 16.5 Failure to comply with the directions of Officials to weigh a Car/Driver when instructed or failure to comply with the weight regulations, will result in the exclusion of the Cars/Driver‘s qualifying times to that point in the qualifying session. The Team will be notified of such failure and the Driver should represent his car for rechecking. After being informed of such failure, the onus rests with the Driver to stop at the weighing

area to have his/her car rechecked on the next pit visit even if this means queuing behind another car already being checked. Failure to have their car rechecked in this manner will result in the exclusion of the Cars qualifying times from that session. © V8 Supercars –2006 Division “D” Page D 36 D 17 TYRES D 17.1 General 17.1.1 Only the Dunlop control compound and construction tyre nominated by V8 Supercars TEGA (the “control tyre”) may be used to Test, practice or qualify for, or

compete in, any Meeting or Rides. 17.1.2 At all times the control tyres remain the property of V8 Supercars and title in the control tyres will not pass to any Team or other entity or person. 17.1.3 Subject to Rule D17.1.5, all control tyres must only be allocated to a Team for use on a Car or Cars identified by their log book number and no control tyres may be transferred between Teams. Control tyres allocated to a Car or Cars entered for competition under either a Category Level 2 or Category Level 3 TLA/s are only

permitted to be used on such Car or Cars. 17.1.4 Teams are not permitted to wholly or partially cover or remove any official marking or label placed on the Control Tyres by TEGA, V8 Supercars or Dunlop. 17.1.5 The CTD at his sole discretion may authorise the allocation of control tyres to the nominated Homologation Teams or such other Teams that the CTD may have nominated for use in the new model and component approval process, parity testing, tyre testing or such other TEGA testing or evaluation process that TEGA

may deem appropriate from time to time. D 17.2 Order & Payment for Supply 17.2.1 Control Tyre Order Forms for control tyres will be made available by V8 Supercars to Teams at least 45 days prior to each Meeting. 17.2.2 Level 2 and Level 3 Teams must ensure that the Control Tyre Order Form advises the V8 Supercars CFO of the allocated tyres intended to be used at the Meeting to which the Order Form relates. 17.2.3 Submission of the Order Forms by Teams to V8 Supercars will be deemed to be a

firm commitment by that Team for its tyre requirements for the Meeting to which the order form relates. 17.2.4 Payment for the supply of dry control tyres: 17.2.4.1 by Level 1 and 2 Teams must be received by V8 Supercars CFO no later than 28 days prior to the commencement of each Meeting; and 17.2.4.2 by Level 2 and 3 Teams must be made no later than the time at which such Teams take delivery of the tyres. 17.2.5 Any Team failing to meet the relevant deadline contained in Rule D 17.2.4 will not

be supplied with any new control tyres for the relevant Meeting. 17.2.6 Level 2 and Level 3 Teams may obtain up to the nominated number of control tyres or may nominate, prior to the time that the control tyre selection takes place, a number of previously allocated control tyres. The Team must advise the CTD in writing of the Serial Numbers of the previously allocated control tyres, as well as having advised the V8 Supercars CFO as required in Rule D 17.2.2. 17.2.7 Having just entered into a new TLA or having purchased a TLA without purchasing

a Car belonging to the Transferor, or having resumed the operational control of a TLA following the conclusion of a period of a sub-licence of such TLA, Teams may obtain up to six (6) new control tyres through V8 Supercars only for the purposes of Testing that Car prior to their first Meeting, but only after such a Car has been registered with, and a Car number has been issued by, V8 Supercars, subsequent to which the allocation of new tyres will be made pursuant to this Rule D 17.2.

17.2.8 Each VCS Team will be permitted to purchase a maximum of twelve (12) new control tyres through V8 Supercars only for the purpose of Testing at a Test day or practice at a Meeting. © V8 Supercars –2006 Division “D” Page D 37 D 17.3 Selection 17.3.1 At each Round of a series, at a time stated in the Supplementary or Further Regulations, control tyres will be randomly selected, numbers will be recorded and the tyres allocated to Cars by the CTD, and this allocation process will be open to

scrutiny by any Team. 17.3.2 A list of numbers of tyres allocated to Cars will be available from the CTD to Teams following the completion of the tyre allocation process. 17.3.3 At each Meeting, control tyres will be marked/coded by the CTD to visually identify such tyres as authorised for use at that Meeting. D 17.4 Fitment 17.4.1 There will be a nominal charge for Teams who wish to “swap” control tyres from rim to rim and this will take place only after all competitors have been issued their

allocated control tyres. 17.4.3 The fitting of control tyres for the top ten Drivers in the VCS point score will be done first and any Driver in this group may “claim” the tyres of any other Driver in the top ten before they have been fitted to rims. Only three Drivers may “claim” tyres at any one Meeting after being given permission by the CTD. For the purposes of this rule as applied to the opening two Rounds in the VCS in 2005, the top ten will be the first ten points scorers in the 2004 VCS.

D 17.5 Replacement Tyres 17.5.1 There will be no new replacement control tyres, so it will be each Team’s responsibility to ensure that they have sufficient previously marked used control tyres to cover any emergencies. 17.5.2 Permission to use previously marked used control tyres will be at the CTD’s discretion and they must be marked for use at the relevant Meeting; and compelling reasons/explanations will need to be put forward before permission is given by the CTD to replace the tyres.

17.5.3 If any replacement control tyres are fitted, the Car to which the tyres are fitted must start from the rear of the grid in the subsequent race. D 17.6 Wet Weather Tyres 17.6.1 A maximum number of wet weather control tyres are permitted for use at any Meeting, other than Endurance Rounds at which there is no restriction on wet weather control tyre numbers. 17.6.2 Wet weather tyres will be of moulded construction, no further cutting or modifications are permitted. 17.6.3

some amendments to suit Australian motor racing conditions. 1. SIGNALLING - GENERALLY 1.1 In the supervision of the race track, the Clerk of Course, the Race Director and the marshals’ posts rely largely on the use of signals to contribute to the Drivers' safety and enforce the regulations. 1.2 Signals are given in daylight by the different coloured flags which may be supplemented, or under some circumstances, replaced by lights. 1.3 It is necessary to warn Drivers of any modifications made to the Course arrangements

since they became familiar with the track in practice etc. Should some such particular abnormality become permanent, there is no point in continuing to signal it for more than two laps, as by that time Drivers should be familiar with it and the flag concerned then becomes available for the use in other cases. 1.4 Black and white signal boards of similar dimensions to the flags may also be used for certain signals: these should be clearly specified in the Regulations for the event

concerned. 1.5 At night the flags may be replaced by lights and reflective panels, but all Drivers will be made aware of this at a briefing beforehand. Yellow lights at each post are obligatory for events run at night (see 3.2 below) 1.6 It will be deemed a serious breach of these Rules if a Driver fails to take any action stated herein to be required by the display of a flag or signal, and the Race Director is hereby vested with the discretion as to whether such failure has occurred.

1.7 Flags: the minimum size of all flags is 600mm x 800mm except the red and chequered flags which should be at least 800mm x 1000mm. 2. FLAG SIGNALS TO BE USED AT THE START LINE 2.1 The National flag: This flag is normally used to start the race if the starting lights are not functioning. The starting signal, using the flag, should be given by lowering the flag, it having been raised above the starter's head after all Cars are stationary. It will be raised for between 3 and 5 seconds before being lowered.

Should the national flag not be used for any reason, the colour of the flag (which should not cause confusion with any other flag described in this Schedule), should be specified in the Supplementary Regulations. 2.2 Red flag: This flag should be waved at the start line when it has been decided to stop a practice or qualifying session or a race using other than a chequered flag. Simultaneously, each flag post around the circuit should also wave a red flag. The red flag may also be used by the Clerk of the Course or the Race Director (or their

nominees) to close the circuit. 2.3 Black and white chequered flag: This flag will be waved to signify the end of a practice or qualifying session or a race, and upon display, after having crossed the finishing line all Drivers must proceed to the pit or paddock area by following the race track, or as directed by officials. 2.4 Black flag: 2.4.1 This flag will be used to inform the Driver concerned that he/she must stop at their pit, or at the place designated in the Supplementary Regulations on the

next approach to the pit entry. If a Driver fails to comply for any reason, this flag should not be shown for more than four (4) consecutive laps. 2.4.2 The decision to show this flag rests solely with the Stewards, the Team concerned will be informed of the decision as soon as practicable. Where the © V8 Supercars– 2006 Division “D” Page D 52 Clerk of Course or the Race Director use the Black Flag in certain circumstances, the Stewards will be deemed to have authorised the use of that

flag. 2.4.3 This flag will be shown motionless and accompanied by a black board displaying in white the number of the Car of the Driver concerned. 2.5 Black flag with an Orange Disc: 2.5.1 This flag will be used to inform the Driver concerned that his/her Car has mechanical problems likely to endanger the Driver or others and means that the Driver must stop at their pit on the next lap. 2.5.2 When the mechanical problems have been rectified to the satisfaction of the CTD, the Car may rejoin the race.

2.5.3 The orange disc will be 400mm in diameter. 2.5.4 This flag will be shown motionless and accompanied by a black board displaying in white the number of the Car of the Driver concerned. 2.5.5 Normally the decision to show this rests with the Clerk of Course or the Race Director, however it may be taken by the Stewards. 2.6 Black and White flag divided diagonally: 2.6.1 This flag will be shown once only and is a warning to the Driver concerned that he has been reported for unsporting behaviour.

2.6.2 This flag will be shown motionless and accompanied by a black board displaying in white the number of the Car of the Driver concerned. 2.6.3 Normally the decision to show this rests with the Clerk of Course or the Race Director. 2.7 Additional Flag Points: The flags referred to in this article 2 may also be displayed at places other than the start line should the Clerk of Course or the Race Director deem this necessary. 3. FLAG SIGNALS TO BE USED AT FLAG POSTS 3.1 Red flag:

3.1.1 This will be shown waved only on instruction from the Clerk of Course or the Race Director when it becomes necessary to stop a practice or qualifying session or a race by other than the chequered flag. 3.1.2 All Drivers are required to slow down immediately and proceed to the pit lane (or the place foreseen by the regulations of the Event), and must be prepared to stop if necessary. 3.1.3 Overtaking is not permitted. 3.2 Yellow flag: 3.2.1 This is a signal of danger and will be shown to Drivers in two ways with the

following meanings: 3.2.1.1 Single waved: Drivers must reduce speed, must not overtake and must be prepared to change direction. The flag indicated there is a hazard beside or partly on the track. 3.2.1.2 Double waved: Drivers must reduce speed, must not overtake and must be prepared to change direction or stop. The flag indicates there is a hazard wholly or partly blocking the track. 3.2.2 Waved yellow flags will normally be shown only at the flag post immediately preceding the hazard.

3.2.3 To allow Drivers to brake in good time, this being necessary because of the presence of an obstacle in the sector where the yellow flag/s is/are being waved, the proceeding flag post will give a warning signal in the form of a yellow flag being shown motionless ie. A warning signal will be given at the two posts preceding a hazard. © V8 Supercars– 2006 Division “D” Page D 53 3.2.4 Overtaking is not permitted between the first yellow flag and the green flag displayed after the incident.

3.2.5 Yellow flags will not be shown in the pit lane unless there is an incident of which the Driver should be made aware. 3.3 Yellow flag with Red Stripes: 3.3.1 This will be shown motionless to inform Drivers that there is a deterioration of adhesion due to oil, water, dirt etc on the track in the area beyond the flag. 3.3.2 This flag will be displayed, depending on the circumstances, for at least four laps unless the surface returns to normal beforehand. 3.3.3 It is not necessary for the sector beyond where this flag is being shown to

display a green flag. 3.4 Light Blue flag: This will normally be waved, as an indication to a Driver that he/she is about to be overtaken. It has different meanings during practice and qualifying sessions and a race: 3.4.1 At all times: A stationary flag will be displayed to a Driver leaving the pits if traffic is approaching on the track. 3.4.2 During practice and qualifying: A Driver must give way to a faster Car which is about to overtake the Car at which the flag is directed.

3.4.3 During a race: The flag will normally be shown to a Car about to be lapped and, when shown, the Driver concerned must allow the following Car to pass at the earliest opportunity. The blue flag will not be used for cars on the same lap and contesting a position. 3.5 White flag: This flag will be waved and is used to indicate to the Driver that there is a much slower vehicle on the sector of track controlled by that flag post. 3.6 Green flag: 3.6.1 This will be used to indicate that the track is clear and will be waved at the flag

post immediately after the incident that necessitated the use of one or more yellow flags. 3.6.2 This flag may also be used, if deemed necessary by the Clerk of Course or the Race Director, to signal the start of a warm-up lap or the start of a practice or qualifying session. 4. STARTING LIGHTS 4.1 When lights are installed for the starting of races, the following requirements should be respected. 4.2 The lights will have the following meanings: 4.2.1 RED lights illuminated: Remain stationary and prepare to start racing.

4.2.2 RED lights extinguished: Start racing. 4.2.3 GREEN lights illuminated: The race has started. Note: It is not compulsory to show green lights. 4.2.4 YELLOW flashing lights illuminated: 4.2.4.1 Cars must remain stationary and switch off engines (if these lights are switched on after the red lights, the red lights must remain switched on). 4.2.4.2 Normally, the time lapse between switching on the red lights and extinguishing them will be between 3 and 5 seconds. 4.2.4.3 The yellow lights at the start should not be used at any other time

during an event. © V8 Supercars– 2006 Division “D” Page D 54 SCHEDULE D 4 (Rule D 11.3) AIR IMPACT TOOL AND REGULATOR REGISTER Air Impact Tools Regulators Brand Model Brand Model Aqua Lung N/A Blue Point AT 1100A AT 1125D AT1300 CIG Weld N/A Chicago Pneumatic CP 793 CP 893 CP 9575 CP 6060 Race Harris 825 3500-200 3500-600 Ingersol Rand 231 291 2940 CAPS 2151 RAC-E Modern Engineering Company P600 Dino Paoli RGPRSF1 Dino Paoli DP 192 DP 2000 DP 2000S Scorpion SRW 500 Victory Equipment

GENERAL 1.1 Refuelling During Sessions and Races 1.1.1 All refuelling during any session or Race must only be carried out using a refuelling tower. 1.1.2 Refuelling towers must be of “siamese” configuration and only be used when specifically permitted in the Supplementary and/or Further Regulations. 1.1.3 Under no circumstances will refuelling be permitted on the race track.

1.1.4 At all times while refuelling during any session or Race, all requirements and procedures described in these Rules must be complied with. 1.2 All Other Refuelling All refuelling other than that carried out during a session or a Race must be carried out in the Pit garage or the paddock area and must conform to the following requirements: 1.2.1 always with the Car’s engine switched off; and 1.2.2 with a Fire Attendant present; and 1.2.3 any draining or refueling procedure, the Car and all vessels where fuel is being

transferred must be earthed to a suitable earth point; and 1.2.4 any draining or refueling procedure must be carried out using screw on or “dry break” type fittings independent of the SiameseFIA refueling fitting on the Car; and 1.2.5 all personnel handling fuel discharge themselves of static electricity prior to participating in any refueling or fuel transferring procedures; and 1.2.6 mobile phones are must be switched off in the immediate vicinity of the draining or refuelling procedure; and

1.2.7 any device and substance, which changes the temperature of the fuel from the ambient air temperature, is prohibited. All fuel being placed in the Car must be done so at ambient temperature. 2. SAFETY 2.1 Provision of Extinguishers For all Meetings each Competitor must provide at least 2 x 4.5-kg dry chemical fire extinguishers, in working order, for each Pit Bay or Garage. 2.2 Fuel Storage - Areas All areas in which fuel is being stored must be: 2.2.1 adequately ventilated and have unimpeded access; and

2.2.2 be clean and free of potentially flammable materials e.g., paper, rags, oily fabrics etc. 2.3 Fuel Storage - Quantities The maximum quantity of fuel that can be stored in any location at any time is 250 litres, except that a maximum of 450 litres of fuel may be stored in any location only for a period of less than 12 hours. 2.4 Attendants 2.4.1 Refuelling Towers: A minimum number of three (3) Attendants must be present, and their tasks must be: • Fire Attendant – whose sole task is to operate fire extinguisher; and

• Refueller/Vent Attendant – whose sole task is to operate the refuelling/vent hose.; and © V8 Supercars– 2006 Division “D” Page D 57 • Deadman’s Handle Attendant – whose sole task is to operate the fuel cut-off valve on the refuelling tower. 2.4.2 All Attendants must be attired as specified in Rule D 21.3.5. 2.4.3 For the duration of any pit stop in which refuelling is undertaken, the Fire Attendant must be ready to attend to any fire which may occur and must stand near the Car and

the refuelling tower, poised with the extinguisher ready to operate. 2.5 Operation – Refuelling Towers 2.5.1 The refuelling tower must either remain behind the prescribed line or be wholly within the pit garage (whichever is appropriate) and must not be moved once filled. 2.5.2 The Fire Attendant must be “ready for action” during any refilling operations. 2.5.3 The fuel delivery hose may only be moved into Pit Lane from the Pit Garage a maximum of three (3) minutes prior to any pit stop.

2.5.4 While in Pit Lane, the fuel delivery hose must at all times be held by the relevant Attendant. 2.5.5 Apparel requirements in D 21.3.5 must be complied with when refilling the refuelling tower. 2.6 Approval of Installations and Equipment All installations and equipment must be specifically approved by the CTD prior to any Meeting during which refuelling is permitted in pit lane. 2.7 Earthing 2.7.1 Each Pit garage area is equipped with two grounding connections. 2.7.2 During any Meeting in which refuelling is permitted, the refuelling system (including the

refuelling tower, tank, hoses, valves and dry break fittings) must all be electrically connected to one of the grounding connections for the duration of the on-track activities. 2.7.3 The Car must also be connected, at least momentarily, to one of these grounding connections before refuelling can commence. 2.7.4 It is strongly recommended that the Car should also be electrically connected to earth via one of the grounding connections during a pit stop in which refuelling takes place.

2.8 Vehicle Stationary The Car must be stationary at all times during refuelling. 2.9 Dry Break Fittings 2.9.1 All refuelling and venting operations in Pit Lane must only be carried out using male and female dry-break fittings, which conform to all FIA requirements. 2.9.2 Diagram 1: General Design of Dry Break Fittings Standard dry break fittings (male and female) 2.9.3 Maintenance It is extremely important to maintain all refuelling equipment in good working order: 2.9.3.1 O-rings must be regularly inspected and replaced if there are any signs of

expansion or damage; and 2.9.3.2 Springs and tracks must also be regularly inspected and kept lubricated during those times the refuelling valves are not in operation. © V8 Supercars– 2006 Division “D” Page D 58 3. REFUELLING TOWER © V8 Supercars– 2006 Division “D” Page D 59 Requirements All towers must conform to the following: 3.1 The maximum capacity of the tower, including the delivery hose, must not exceed 220 litres. 3.2 The maximum height of any part of the tower which contains fuel is two metres above

the Pit Lane; only non-fuel holding connections and vents are permitted above this height. 3.3 All towers must be fitted with a ball cock or similar fast action cut-off valve, which must work on the “deadman handle” principle. The cut-off valve must be attached directly to the fuel reservoir and must close immediately, stopping the flow of fuel from the reservoir, when pressure on the handle of the cut-off valve is released. The closing principle of the cut-off valve must not rely on the action of gravity alone.

3.4 The emergency cut-off valve Attendant (“deadman’s handle Attendant”) must only hold the valve open for the duration of a refuelling operation. 3.5 Towers must only incorporate a “siamese” filler/vent configuration which is to be operated by a single refueller/vent Attendant and returns all displaced fumes from the Car’s fuel tank to the ullage space in the reservoir of the refuelling tower. 3.6 A single fuel delivery hose, which must be of a flexible rubber or a fuel resistant

reinforced plastic material, must be connected to the emergency cut-off valve. The flexible part of the hose must be at least 2.5m in length and of an ID no greater than 50mm (2 inch). 3.7 The maximum inside diameter of the vent hose is 50mm (2 inch). 3.8 The vent hose used to direct the expelled fumes from the Car to the refuelling tower must remain open at all times. No device may restrict the flow of these fumes for the duration of the refuelling operation. 3.9 The reservoir must be vented via an explosion safe shielded vent. This vent must be

open at all times and only atmospheric pressure may be exerted on the fuel in the main reservoir No artificial pressurisation of the reservoir is permitted. 3.10 A filling orifice (maximum inside diameter of 50mm) may be fitted to the main reservoir. The refilling of a refuelling tower, while a Car is being refuelled from that refuelling tower, is not permitted. 3.11 Any refilling operations to the main reservoir must be carried out bearing in mind State or Territory Occupational Health and Safety regulations.

3.12 any device or substance, which changes the temperature of the fuel from the ambient air temperature, is prohibited.Any device, which changes the ambient temperature of the fuel, is prohibited. 100mm © V8 Supercars– 2006 Division “D” Page D 60 3.13 All refuelling towers manufactured after 1st January 2001 must include 10% ullage (air space) at all times within the reservoir. 4. FUEL FLOW RESTRICTOR 4.1 At all times while refuelling using a refuelling tower, a fuel flow restrictor, as approved

by TEGA, must be fitted inside the fuel delivery hose. 4.2 The fuel flow restrictor must: • only be obtained from TEGA, and must • always remain unmodified, and must • be securely fixed within the fuel delivery hose so all fuel entering a Car during refuelling must pass through the restrictor, and must • be positioned within 150mm of the end of the fuel delivery hose, and • No device of any kind, other than the TEGA approved fuel flow restrictor, may be present within the refuelling hose at any time.
