APPENDIX II. DORIAN TRANSPONDER & RFID.

1. Each Competitor will be required to fit a Dorian Electronic Self Identification Module to their Car/s for the purposes of accurate timing. Only one of the following systems is permitted to be used at this Event: The Dorian TX16 k multi DDL unit or the Dorian DATA-1 Automatic Driver ID System.

Holders for these and detailed fitting instructions will be issued with the transponders and it will be the responsibility of the Competitor to fit these in the Car in the position and manner specified. The Modules must be in place and functioning correctly for all Sessions. The setting and servicing of these items must only be carried out by properly authorised licensed Timekeepers.

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. It is the Competitor’s responsibility to ensure that these are used correctly and that the Driver in the Car is shown correctly on the timing screens for every session during the Event. If an incorrect Driver ID is recorded at pit entry or pit exit, a penalty may be imposed by the Stewards.

4. To ensure that the proper Driver is shown at all times, the Driver ID must not be changed before the Car is stationary and must be correctly changed before the Car crosses the pit exit timing loop.

5. Competitors may not place electronic timing equipment within five metres of the official Start and/or Finish Line or any other official timing lines at any Event or test session/day. Any such equipment placed within these zones will be removed.
