Technology factor is detailed on the third page:
- The Fuel Technology Factor is a function of the ratio of
Diesel over Petrol efficiencies.
- The K Technology Factor is a function of Diesel and
Gasoline Power Trains Weight and ERS options (See
Appendix B).
- The technology factor is the product of fuel and K technology
factors
- The Fuel Energy per lap allocated for the Diesel engine is
result of the Fuel Energy per lap allocated for the Petrol
Engine divided by the technology factor.
