The formula I car should be a land vehicle
running on at least four non-aligned complete wheels, of which at least two are
used for steering and at least two for propulsion. The
overall width of the car, including complete wheels, must not exceed 1800mm. No
part of the bodywork may be more than 950mm above the reference plane. The weight of the car (including driver) must not be less
than 600kg. Only 4-stroke engines with reciprocating pistons are
permitted whose.
Capacity
must not exceed 3000 cc. Supercharging is forbidden. Max. number
of cylinders -12. Engines may have no more than 5 valves per cylinder. The
basic structure of the crankshaft and camshafts must be made from steel or cast
iron. The minimum number of forward gear ratios is 4 and the maximum is 7. All
cars must have a reverse gear.
Suspension
geometry must remain fixed at all times. All cars must be equipped with only
one brake system. This system must comprise solely of two separate
hydraulic circuits operated by
one pedal, one circuit operating on the two front wheels and the other on the
two rear wheels. This system must be designed so that if a failure occurs in
one circuit the pedal will still operate the brakes in the other. The brake
system must be designed in order that the force exerted on the brake pads
within each circuit
are the same at all
times. No more than one brake disc is
permitted on each wheel.
All
discs must have a maximum thickness of 28mm and a maximum outside diameter of
278mm. Liquid cooling of the brakes is forbidden. All
wheels must be made from a homogeneous metallic material. Complete wheel width
must lie between 305 and 355mm when fitted to the front of the car and between
365 and 380mm when fitted to the rear. The fuel will be accepted or rejected
according to ASTM D 3244 with a confidence limit of 95%. The reflective surface
of each mirror must be at least 150mm wide, this being
maintained over a height of at least 50mm. Additionally, each corner may have a
radius no greater than 10mm. Pit-lane driving shall not exceed 60m/h during trainings and 80km/h during GP
(Monaco 60km/h). Up to 40 tires
may be used during the weekend race. The
race must not exceed 2 hours and be longer than 320km. Each driver
participating in the event must have the FIA super-license. The
max. Number of races in a single season - 17.
The race can't be called off if the vehicles are under 12. If two drivers have
an equal number of points, the title will go to the most-wins holder. If the
number of first-place locations is the same, the number of second locations
will be decisive. If there is a tie, the
number of third-place finishes will determine the winner.
