I just found this on the D1GP site. The D1 Grand Prix judging system has been further enhanced with the recent introduction of the DriftBox Pro in all D1GP competitions, including USA rounds. The DriftBox Pro is a real-time telemetry device that was originally developed for use in the D1 Grand Prix series to assist the judges award points during the competition, and has become in effect the fourth "Judge". Every team that competes in D1 is provided with an official DriftBox Pro mounting bracket to allow the DriftBox Pro to be fitted for each run. The judges receive real-time data for each corner based on entry speed, drift angle and cornering force. Cornering force is used to judge how well the car is setup, the higher the cornering force, the more power and skill are needing to slide the vehicle. The DriftBox Pro is based on two GPS systems, with antennas placed in line on the roof of the car. Drift angle is the difference between the direction of travel and the direction the vehicle is pointing. The GPS system used is an RTK system, which gives an accuracy of 0.25 degrees, 0.1km/h and 0.01G.
