3.7.2 Definition of “Aerodynamic configuration”
An Aerodynamic configuration is defined by a combination of:
? Complete Bodywork
? Front Wing or Rear wing angle
? Brake blanking
? And any further elements deemed appropriated by FIA/ACO.
Brake blanking presented during wind tunnel tests and satisfying the required aerodynamic criteria will be homologated.
Other type of blanking including power unit cooling options are forbidden.
3.7.3 Criteria
The aerodynamic coefficients must fulfil the criteria set in the Apendixes of these Technical Regulations.
3.8 Deflection
3.8.1 General deflection
The FIA/ACO reserves the right to introduce load/deflection tests on any part of the bodywork which appears to be (or
is suspected of), moving whilst the car is in motion.
Competitors must supply the pads and adapters following instructions from FIA/ACO.
Among other criteria, the FIA/ACO will consider the linearity of the load/deflection curve over the elastic deformation
area. Any non-linearity must be only on the plastic deformation area.
As a principle, at any point, in any direction X/Y/Z, no bodywork part should move more than 5mm when loaded
(push/pull) with 100N. The way of application will depend of the particular shape of the part to be tested and the
retained mean will not introduce specific stress in the part (capable to directly influence its behaviour).
Under application of the load, the part must still respect the technical regulations.
Brushes, rubber boots, rubber sealing will only be accepted to prevent rubber pick-up (such devices should be presented
during homologation process).
3.8.2 Front bodywork parts
No point of bodywork described in Article 3.5.4 (front splitter) must deflect more than 15mm vertically when a
combination of the following vertical loads is applied:
The main load will be applied vertically downward by eight M5 inserts structurally integrated in the part and reachable
in the bottom surface.
As basic requirements, these inserts must:
? Be positioned symmetrically regarding the longitudinal vertical plane of the car.
? One row of four parallel to the front axle and located at 500 mm from the front axle with the two lateral ones at
100 mm from maximum car width and the two remaining such that all four are equidistant;
? One row of four parallel to the front axle and located at 100mm from leading edge with two lateral ones at 100 mm
from maximum car width and the two remaining such that all four are equidistant.
The load will be equally applied on each insert up to a total of 8000N.
3.8.3 Engine cover
The rearmost part of the engine cover must deflect no more than 5 mm vertically when a load of 100 N is applied.
The load may be applied at any point along the trailing edge or the gurney. These loads will be applied using a suitable
15 mm wide adapter which must be supplied by the competitor.
The load/deflection ratio must be constant for a maximum load of 200 N and a maximum deflection of 10 mm.
3.8.4 Rear wing
The rearmost part of the rear wing (if present) must deflect no more than 5 mm vertically when a load of 100 N is
applied.
The load may be applied at any point along the trailing edge. These loads will be applied using a suitable 15 mm wide
adapter which must be supplied by the competitor.
The load/deflection ratio must be constant over the entire operating range of the wing and applies for a maximum load
of 200 N and a maximum deflection of 10 mm.
3.8.5 Front skid block
The front part of the skid block must deflect no more than 5mm vertically when a 2500N load is applied vertically at any
point of the friction surface (see Drawing 3C). The load will be applied in an upward direction using a 50mm diameter
ram.

Stays or structures between the front of the bodywork lying on the reference plane and the survival cell may be present,
provided they don’t allow non-linear deflection or speed depend deflection during any part of the test including the
release of the load.
The front part of the skid block may deflect no more than 15mm vertically when a load able to lift the front wheels from
the ground is applied.
3.8.6 Rear skid block
The rear part of the skid block must deflect no more than 5mm vertically when a 5000N load is applied vertically at any
point of the friction surface (see Drawing 3C). The load will be applied in an upward direction using a 50mm diameter
ram.
Stays or structures between the front of the bodywork lying on the reference plane and the survival cell may be present,
provided they don’t allow non-linear deflection or speed depend deflection during any part of the test including the
release of the load.
3.9 Bodywork construction
3.9.1 General
In order to avoid the spread of debris on the track following an accident, the outer skins of the front bodywork in the
vicinity of the front wheels, must be made predominantly from materials which are included for the specific purpose of
containing debris.
The FIA/ACO must be satisfied that all such parts are constructed in order to achieve the stated objective.
3.9.2 Tolerances
To help overcome any possible manufacturing problems, and not to permit any design which may contravene any part
of these regulations, the following dimensional tolerances are permitted on bodywork: a tolerance of +/- 3 mm is
permissible across the surfaces lying on the reference planes and a horizontal tolerance of 3mm is permitted when
assessing whether a surface is visible from beneath the car.
3.10 Aerodynamic stability
Regardless of the Aerodynamic configuration, the car must fulfill a number of safety criteria to ensure a minimum
aerodynamic stability. The criteria acceptance will be validated with Wind Tunnel measurements and/or CFD
computations. The complete procedure and acceptance requirements for these criteria are described in the
aerodynamic homologation process document.

intermetallic phase is a solid solution between two or more metals exhibiting either partly ionic or covalent, or metallic
bonding with a long-range order, in a narrow range of composition around the stoichiometric proportion.
5.12.7 Composite Materials – These are materials where a matrix material is reinforced by either a continuous or
discontinuous phase. The matrix can be metallic, ceramic, polymeric or glass based. The reinforcement can be present
as long fibres (fibre length greater than 13mm) or short fibres, whiskers and particles (discontinuous reinforcement).
Nanoscale reinforced materials are to be considered as composites. (a reinforcement is considered to be nanoscale if
any dimension of the reinforcement is less than 100nm.)
5.12.8 Metal Matrix Composites (MMC’s) – These are composite materials with a metallic matrix containing a
minimum ratio of 0.5% volume/volume of other ceramic, metallic, carbon or intermetallic phase which is not soluble in
the liquid phase at 100°C above the melting point of the metallic matrix.

5.12.9 Ceramic Materials (e.g. Al2O3, SiC, B4C, Ti5Si3, SiO2, Si3N4) – These are inorganic, non-metallic solids.
5.12.10 Nanomaterials: Nanomaterials are purposely created objects that have one or more dimensions (e.g. length,
width, height, diameter) which is less than 100nm. (1nm = is 1 x 10-9 metres.)

power unit:
a) Magnesium based alloys.
b) Metal Matrix Composites (MMC’s) containing more than 2.0% volume/volume of other ceramic, metallic, carbon
or intermetallic phase which is not soluble in the liquid phase at 100°C above the melting point of the metallic
matrix.
c) Intermetallic materials.
d) Alloys containing more than 5% by weight of Platinum, Ruthenium, Iridium or Rhenium.
e) Copper based alloys containing more than 2.75% Beryllium.
f) Any other alloy class containing more than 0.25% Beryllium.
g) Tungsten base alloys.
h) Ceramics and ceramic matrix composites.
i) Aluminium based alloys containing more than 2.5 weight % Lithium
j) Materials containing nanomaterials.
k) Thermal insulation containing unbound nanomaterials
5.13.2 Unless explicitly permitted otherwise for a specific application, only material approved by the FIA/ACO
Technical Department may be used on the power unit. The approval of the FIA/ACO Technical Department is conditional
upon the material concerned being available on a non-exclusive basis and under normal commercial terms to all
competitors.
5.13.3 The restrictions in Article 5.13.1 do not apply to coatings provided the total coating thickness does not exceed
25% of the section thickness of the underlying base material in all axes. In all cases, other than under Article 5.13.4.b,
the relevant coating must not exceed 0.8mm.
Where the coating is based on Gold, Platinum, Ruthenium, Iridium or Rhenium, the coating thickness must not exceed
0.035mm.
5.13.4 The restrictions in Article 5.13.1.h do not apply to the following applications:
a) Any component whose primary purpose is for electrical or thermal insulation.
b) Any coating whose primary purpose is for thermal insulation of the outside of the exhaust system.
5.13.5 Magnesium based alloys, where permitted, must be available on a non-exclusive basis and under normal
commercial terms to all competitors. Only those alloys covered by ISO16220 or ISO3116 and approved by the FIA may
be used.
5.13.6 The restrictions in article 5.13.1 b do not apply to TiB2 grain refinement of aluminium-copper based
materials. TiB2 additions for the purpose of grain refinement are permitted up to a maximum of 5% v/v.
5.14 Materials and construction – Components
5.14.1 Pistons must respect Article 5.13. Titanium alloys are not permitted. Rotor seals on rotary engines may be
manufactured from a ceramic material.
5.14.2 Piston pins must be manufactured from an iron-based alloy and must be machined from a single piece of
material.
5.14.3 Connecting rods must be manufactured from iron or titanium-based alloys and must be machined from a single
piece of material with no welded or joined assemblies (other than a bolted big end cap or an interfered small end bush).
5.14.4 Crankshafts must be manufactured from an iron-based alloy.
With the exception of securing high weight density balance weights, no welding is permitted between the front and
rear main bearing journals.
No material with a density exceeding 18800 kg/m3 may be assembled to the crankshaft.
