STARTING POSSITION: The grid for the individual ROOKIES CHALLENGE, ELITE SPRINT and GT4 SPRINT and BATTLE ENDURANCE tests is based on the measured training times, which are determined in individual time trainings with the fastest driver taking the pole position. 13. IMPLEMENTATION OF RACES: Timing is the responsibility of the organizer.

The pace car leads the field at the end of the formation lap at a steady speed of about km / h in 2-by-2 rows towards the starting line. The order of the vehicles according to the starting grid with vehicle distances of approx. 1-2 car lengths must be observed. The pace car cuts out into the pit lane. The training fastest, thus the leading vehicle, determines the increase of the tempo until the start release, abrupt braking or deceleration is forbidden! 6

Drivers who cause a start abort and / or a start accident due to their driving style are warned and start at the end of the field at the restart (or at the next race). If there are several causers, the further order is based on the training times from the time training. The loss of time caused by the abort may be compensated by shortening the sprint test. For safety reasons, the race director is entitled to put an overtaking prohibition until after the first or second turn into force, or to change the starting procedure for the purpose of safety. If a start abort or an accident causes additional costs due to the time delay, these cost may be invoiced to the driver who caused a start abort and / or a start accident due to his driving style. The winner is the driver, or the team that has covered the highest number of laps at the end of the time (about 25 min., Or 55 min.) Or crossed the finish line first with the same number of laps. The races will be waved off by the race director with the checkered flag.

21 APPENDIX 2 to the X-BOW BATTLE 2018 Regulations: AIR RESTRICTOR / AIR QUANTITY LIMITER: The following conditions apply to ELITE vehicles: The intake system of the engine must be equipped with an air flow limiter (restrictor). This air restrictor must be obtained from the organizer for reasons of standardization and equal opportunities. - This must have a minimum length of 3 mm and a maximum diameter of 38.0 mm. - The air restrictors must be made of metallic material. The prescribed diameter must not be exceeded at any time and under all temperature conditions. - The air restrictor must be completely visible after removing the Bonnets without having to remove additional covers. - All combustion air supplied to the engine must pass through this air restrictor. - Behind the airrestrictor no air-carrying lines are allowed on the intake system. - The air flow restrictor must be sealable by means of a wire through the TK's, which makes disassembly impossible. - The restrictor is paired with the turbocharger. - The air restrictor must be installed no more than 300 mm in front of the compressor wheel of the turbocharger. - Closing the air restrictor must cause the engine to stop immediately. This test is performed at a speed of 2500 rpm. All pressure sensors in the intake system must be completed for this test. The pressure in the intake system measured during this test must be at least 150 mbar below the local ambient pressure and kept for at least 0.5 seconds. - At the request of the organizer, a measuring connection to the intake system shall be made available to the latter. - The organizer reserves the right to change the size of the air restrictor for individual vehicles. Exception: Vehicles may be classified by the organizer after the individual application as vehicles with engines close to series production. In this case, the use of air restrictors is not required unless otherwise specified. However, this requires a written waiver by the organizer. Air flow limiter - test mandrel: A test mandrel must correspond to the actual size of the air restrictor, the second test mandrel diameter must be 0.1 mm smaller than the real size of the air restrictor. A measuring tolerance of 0.02 mm is taken into account. The temperature of the test mandrel must be within the range of +/- 10 Celsius to ambient temperature prior to insertion into the air restrictor. Each team is responsible for the correct condition of the test spikes. 21
