Rule Changes

Tyre Allocation Rules

On 21 March, D1GP changes tyre allocation rules.[5]

Under the new regulation, tyre allocation for each round is limited to :

  • Two sets in Friday practice sessions. A third set used in practice (for failures, et al.) shall result a ten-point deduction will be applied to Solo Run score.
  • Four sets for Saturday and Sunday competition, with an additional set to be used in the final round. The set used in the morning check-run must be used in the solo run.
  • An extra set will be added for the Autopolis and Tsukuba rounds.

Scoring Regulation

For this season the tires of the car had to be inside the clipping point as opposed to only body parts in previous seasons. This is to prevent teams and drivers fitting overly extended parts on the car.
