6. how is Unit (technical unit) defined?
Step 1: Group car first after series defined by manufacturer
Step 2: Units are removed from the same series
It can not be defined as a unit if:
- Car types are not the same (M1 - up to 9 seater, M2 - from 10 seats, M3, N1, N2, N3, O1, O2, O3, O4), see below 8.1.1, 8.1.2, 8.1.3.
- car series is not equal
- position of the engine is not equal (front, middle, rear)
- fuel is not equal (gasoline, diesel, gas, electricity, etc. Hybrid "gasoline + electric" is considered as same unit as gasoline engine, hybrid "diesel + electric" is considered as same unit as diesel engine)
- Drive is not equal (four-wheel, non-four-wheel)
- Sum of the axis is not equal
- Etc.
Within one unit:
- Vehicle outside dimension limit: 20%, longest <= shortest x 1.2
- Limit axle position, wheelbase: 15%, longest <= shortest x 1.15
- Limit parameters (total weight, distribution of front and rear axle): 20%
- Etc.
6.1 M1
Same design platform, structure from part before B pillar similar (sedan, station wagon, convertible with hardtop, convertible with folding roof, etc.)
Limit within one unit: Engine KW: 30%, Displacement: 20%
6.2 M2, M3, N1, N2, N3
Limit value for engine KW: 50%, engine capacity: 50%
