1. NEW FOR 2018

The items new or changed for 2018 are listed below: 1. Accelerometers will be scrutinized such that the accelerometer or Motec logger containing

the accelerometer must be mounted within 3 degrees of the orthogonal axis of the vehicle. This means for displays mounted at an angle for driver viewing, an external accelerometer must be used. Note some car's already have an external accelerometer used by the ABS system which may be used in place of the internal accelerometer on the Motec data logger.

2. Channel Logging List requires full compliance . All cars must comply with every channel. Changes to the list include:

a. Air Pres Ambient logging from 5 Hz to 1 Hz b. CAM control channels added c. Engine Torque added d. G Force now has directly / sign requirements e. G Force Vert added f. Lambda logging rates to 25 Hz g. Steering Wheel Angle added h. Water Temp added

3. Channel Sign Convention - Steering and G Forces now have mandatory sign conventions! Make sure you're set before the first race. You will find these sign conventions in the required channel logging list.

4. MoTeC software update - Customers are required to be on the latest released version of MoTeC Dash Manager software, which is currently 6.03E.

Complete details of each item above is discussed below in this handbook. If you have any questions about modifications to your wiring or to schedule work to get done before the first race, please contact Chris Brown at [email protected]

2. INTRODUCTION

This document outlines the implementation of the Series Spec Logger as it pertains to the 2018 Pirelli World Challenge Series. All classes will require a MoTeC data logger. This logger must be setup via the guidelines set forth by PWC as outlined in this document which supplements the technical regulations. The Series Spec Logger will be open for teams to use and configure themselves. Display settings, additional sensors, channels and logging are all open for the teams to use as they see fit. Most other series around the world have very controlled loggers, adding cost with no added value to the teams. We hope this program continues to be open and encourage teams to use the data for driver coaching, system and engine checks and doing their own compliance checking. This handbook will change and be updated as needed throughout the year. Please refer to the Pirelli World Challenge Technic al Regulations for a complete list of rules.

3. WHERE TO PURCHASE

Teams are allowed to purchase their MoTeC logger from any North American MoTeC dealer. It is highly recommended to purchase from a dealer whom you wish to be supported by. Your MoTeC dealer will be your first contact for all support needs. Installation, setup and training are all things you should consider in detail when deciding who to purchase from. All MoTeC loggers will require a setup check before competing in the PWC series. This will help ensure proper configuration and compliance within the guidelines set forth by PWC and listed in this document. That check will be done by Christopher Brown of CB-Racing. He will be the main MoTeC support dealer for the PWC series. If you have any questions regarding the PWC SSL please contact him through email at: [email protected]

4. ALLOWED MOTEC LOGGER MODELS

Any Motec L1xx or C1xx model will be eligible for 2018 and beyond. Approved model numbers include: L120, L180, C125, C185, C127, C187, C1212, C1812 The last digit is the display screen size in inches. The CDL3, SDL3, ADL3 & ACL are also eligible in TC/TCA classes only for 2018.

6. Option List for Loggers:

These options may be enabled at any time, and never expire on the logger purchased for. I/O Options: Activates additional sensor input pins on the back of the dash. This option is

required for measuring manifold pressure on the 12x series loggers. The 18x series and CDL3 loggers include inputs and won't require purchasing the option. See table above for Analog Sensor Inputs.

Pro Analysis: All data files created on MoTeC loggers can be opened in i2 Standard analysis software. The Pro Logging option enables data files created by the logger to be opened using i2 Pro analysis software. The Pro software adds advanced functions like shock histograms, advanced math equations, unlimited graphs and worksheets, setup sheets, etc. i2 Pro only opens pro files, i2 Standard will open both Pro and Standard data files. All software is free to download.

USB option: This option enables the external USB logging. Many models of MoTeC loggers have the ability to utilize a USB memory stick. Older models won't have the USB port.

Optional SLM - SHIFT LIGHT MODULE The MoTeC SLM features bright multi-color LEDs which are ideally suited for a multitude of functions such as shift lights, warning lights, yellow flag light or brake lockup lights. This is the perfect way to increase the functionality of your MoTeC logger to help your driver. It is easily added to any MoTeC logger with or without a display. For many installations the steering wheel blocks the built in light array. An external light module is easily mounted further up on top of the dashboard where it can be in the peripheral view of the driver. Cost is $585.

7. Required GPS

The GPS antenna must now be fitted on top of the roof for a clear view of the sky and adequate ground plane for the antenna. You may choose between two models of GPS, the MoTeC L10 or RaceGrade BL. The L10 model is lower cost but suffers from increased variation in positional data. The RaceGrade model is more accurate for drive line analysis. Only the positional data accuracy is different, the speed data and lap timing accuracy is similar between the two.

The GPS antenna must be fitted on top of the roof, and with a minimum distance of 6" from any other antenna, and 6" away from the edge of a window. This will help the roof to become the ground plane for the antenna. Instructions for mounting on the roof are below. Note this is not the easiest thing to do, and may require DTM style crimping tools.

1. De-pin the connector. This isn't easy so if you need help please schedule my time at the race track to assist. If you have crimping tools, simply cut off the connector, then de-pin it. If you don't have crimping tools you need to remove the glue lined heat shrink carefully cutting it all off. Remove the orange lock inside with needle pliers. Pull tabs inside to release pin.

2. Drill a 5/16" hole in the roof, just behind where you want the GPS to sit on the roof. Preferably 6" away from any other antenna or edge of window.

3. Fit the rubber grommet groove into hole. 4. Slide the gold pins and wire through hole. 5. Slide smaller glue line shrink #1 over the wire. 6. Carefully insert pins into the back of the DTM connector. Use a small pick to push the end of

the gold pin fully into connector. pin 1 = black, pin 2 = green, pin 3 = white, pin 4 = red 7. Push the orange lock into place with needle nose pliers until fully seated.

8. Strain relief excess skinny wires by pushing the insulated antenna wire up against back.

9. Shrink glue line #1 up against the back of the connector with a heat gun.

10. Slide larger glue line #2 into place and shrink with a heat gun.

11. To waterproof the roof, fill the rubber grommet with silicon sealant.

12. Finally remove the backing from double sided tape and attach GPS to roof.

RaceGrade BL $949 MoTeC L10 $180

8. WIRING HARNESS

Custom wiring harnesses are available for teams using the Motec logger as their main data logger. Or a simple standard harness is available and can be configured for custom lengths upon request. The required connections for all cars are:

1. Battery 12v Positive & Ground 2. GPS 3. CAN or OBDii communications 4. Manifold Pressure sensor 5. Download / PC connection - RJ45 connection recommended to logger. For teams with

any alternative download port connection type, a RJ45 adapter cable must be provided to PWC for use during the weekends for use in tech. Location must be within an arm's reach of the passenger mirror.

6. Yellow Flag / Track Condition radio connection

Requirement for Manifold Pressure All cars must have an external visually traceable wire lead from the main connector of the dash

straight through to the manifold pressure sensor. It can not be bundled with any other wires and shall contain only 3 wires; 0v, signal & 5v. Connectors in the path from the logger to the sensor, such as a firewall connector, must also not contain any other wires. Connections, wiring pinouts and installation is subject to inspection at any time.

CAN Connection For cars which come with a FIA or SRO spec logger connection, most of the required channels can be logged off that CAN stream. Details can be found in the Section 11 further down in this document. For other cars, a direct connection to the factory CAN bus with decoding information is required. If the factory CAN is not available, OBDii may be used with approval of PWC in TC, TCA classes only. Please refer to the required channel list to make sure you can comply with the regulations. CAN channels must come directly from the originating source, and all vehicle CAN data transmission is subject to inspection at any time.

9. Manifold Pressure Sensor

The PWC required manifold boost sensor is part# AEM 30-2130-50. Sensor specification sheet is available on the AEM web site, http://www.aemelectronics.com/products/sensors-connectors-accessories/map-pressure-sensors/stainless-steel-map-psia-sensors Sensor calibration is available on the AEM web site,

http://aemelectronics.com/files/instructions/30-2130-50%20Sensor%20Data.pdf You are required to start with the following calibration in the MoTeC Series Spec Logger :

Ratiometric (5V) 0.5 v = 0 mbar 4.5 v = 3434 mbar

This calibration may be updated to correct for indi vidual sensor offsets each weekend. PWC will provide the team with any required changes each wee kend. Changes may be updated after each session during the compliance evaluation by the tec hnical department.

12. TIRE DIAMETERS

Tire Diameters, and / or applicable CAN scalars must be adhered to, and will be corrected to match GPS Speed and verified with lap distance. These corrections may be adjusted throughout the year and specified by PWC to the team for each vehicle.

13. DATA GATHERING - Downloading & SD Memory Card s

At certain events where logistics permit, all cars will be required to roll through a lineup immediately upon exiting the racing circuit. Data will be downloaded by PWC officials before the cars are released to their paddock / garage / tent. When this is not possible, all teams will be given SD memory cards during the crew chief meeting. These will be numbered for all official sessions, typically Practice, Qualifying and Races. SD cards must be turned in within 30 minutes of the conclusion of every session with the corresponding original data files. Additionally data will be downloaded directly from all cars passing through tech. Teams are no longer allowed to download data from cars in tech. Teams with cars in tech are to turn in an empty SD card. All data cards must be returned at the conclusion of the event, including any unused cards. Upon any downloading from a series official, logging memory will not be erased and it will be the requirement of the team to clear the data before the next official session begins.

14. Logger Serial #

All MoTeC logger serial numbers must be on file with PWC. This includes any spare units.

15. CONFIGURATION FILES

All logger device configuration files must remain open to PWC. No passwords are allowed without disclosing them to PWC. Data files without the device config will be deemed non-compliant. The series will keep a master copy of all configuration files to be used in the event of communication and sensor verification, (i.e. CAN setup and boost sensor input identification).

16. SOFTWARE / FIRMWARE VERSIONS

All logger devices will need to be on the minimum versions of software: C125, C127, C1212, L120, C185, C187, C1812m L180 = version 6.03E CDL3 = version 1.60Z ADL3 / EDL3 = version 5.60Z SDL3 = version 2.60Z ACL = version 1.70Z8 Any variation from above must be pre-approved by PWC.

17. MOTEC DATA FILE DETAILS SETUP

To keep data files standardized, some detail information guidelines are required. An example image of the details editor is shown below.

Event Name It is recommended but not

required to put "PWC" in the event name. It is not recommended to put the track name in the event name.

Session It is recommended but not

required to use the following convention: Test 1, Prac 1, Qual, Race 1, etc.

Short + Long Comments No requirement. The Short

Comment appears in the file open menu so it can be used to quickly identify a certain session. Things like "driver crashed", "rained", "+2deg wing", "new tire set #3", etc.

Venue / Track Details To keep data files standardized the venue or track name must follow the list below, and use the

official GPS locations for start/finish and section time locations. When managing these venues, it's recommended not to grab all North American tracks, only those which you will visit. A complete list of PWC venue files are available to download and load into your laptop.

YELLOW FLAG LIGHT SETUP

All 2016 and newer MSE boxes and wiring harnesses will have an external trigger wire available to connect directly to the Motec. Older existing systems prior to 2016 will need to be upgraded by MSE. Please contact Bruce Natvig at 765-319-3399 or at [email protected] for information on how to upgrade.

The MSE box has an external digital output which signals when the yellow flag light system activates. Similar to the output which drives their yellow light module, this digital output wire is connected directly into a Speed input on the Motec logger. A yellow flag channel can then be logged within the data allowing for easy determination of when the in-car yellow flag light system is active. It can also be used to notify the driver via an Alarm on the display AND activate the driver's shift lights by flashing them yellow. The driver's shift lights are often in better than the current small remote mounted light simply because they are often placed more in line with the driver's view and the driver is constantly watching them. Below is an example of setting up the yellow flag wire onto the SPD3 input pin with a calibration setting of low volts = active. This channel may then be used to create an alarm and under the SLM setup to activate lights. It should also be logged at 10 Hz.

Most wiring harnesses with a "Buttons" connector will be a 6 pin DTM, and can insert the wire directly into the back of pin 6 on the buttons wiring harness to trigger the SPD3 input.

18. ANALYSIS SOFTWARE INFORMATION

MoTeC’s i2 data analysis software has been developed over a number of years with valuable input from professional race teams worldwide. It delivers an extensive package of powerful analysis tools that allows for customization by the teams.

The i2 software is available in two versions, i2 Standard and i2 Pro. Both may be freely downloaded from the MoTeC website. The i2 Pro software features additional functionality required for high end analysis such as custom math equations, shock analysis and unlimited graphs. It is not required for PWC compliance checking nor basic driver or engine related needs. i2 Standard will include all required PWC compliance equations so you can check your own legality without requiring the pro option. i2 Pro can be purchased as an option code enabled on individual MoTeC loggers. Once enabled i2 Pro remains active for the life of the logger, and all data files can be opened with the i2 Pro software on any number of computers without limitation. No dongle required. Both types of data files can be opened in i2 Standard, but only data files from pro enabled loggers may be opened in i2 Pro.

Compliance checking is done with either version, often taking the form of a channel report shown below. An i2 workspace will be made available with a standard set of graphs and reports as a starting point for any team. The workspace will also contain all the tracks with sections all preset.

19. INSTALLATION & MOUNTING GUIDELINES

At this time there are no requirements for locating the logger at a specific location from the center of mass. Just a requirement to keep the axis aligned with the directions of the vehicle. Therefore the loggers may be mounted anywhere in the car, but care should be exercised to keep the logger in a matching orthogonal axis with respect to the car. Please note the following:

1. Accelerometer data will be reviewed and must be corrected upon request of PWC. 2. The internal accelerometer axis directions can be reassigned to keep G Force Lateral,

Longitudinal and Vertical orientated with respect to the vehicle depending on mounting orientation of the logger.

3. Accelerometers must be mounted within 3 degrees of the orthogonal axis of the vehicle. For Motec display loggers where the display is angled for driver viewing, an external accelerometer must be used. Note some car's may already have an external accelerometer typically used by the ABS system which can be used in place of the internal accelerometer on the Motec data logger. All sensors must be zero'd on a setup pad to provide proper readings.

4. When mounting a display dash, it is best to keep the display vertical and not angle the face of the display towards the driver. See image below.

If you wish to use an external accelerometer, please contact Chris Brown to order the following: Texys ADXL +/- 4G sensor $600
