40) PRE-SPRINT AND PRE-RACE PARC FERMÉ

40.1 Each Competitor must provide the Technical Delegate with a suspension set-up sheet for both of their cars before each of them leaves the pit lane for the first time during the qualifying practice session.

40.2 Each car will be deemed to be in parc fermé from the time at which it leaves the pit lane for the first time during the qualifying practice session until the start of the race. Any car which fails to leave the pit lane during the qualifying practice session will be deemed to be in parc fermé at the end of Q1.

Between these times, other than when cars are sealed overnight in accordance with Article 40.6, the following work may be carried out:

a) Engines may be started.

b) Fuel may be added or removed and a fuel breather fitted.

c) Wheels, wheel fasteners and tyres may be removed, changed or rebalanced and tyre pressures adjusted.

d) Spark plugs may be removed in order to carry out an internal engine inspection and cylinder compression checks.

e) Permitted breather, heating or cooling devices may be fitted.

f) A jump battery may be connected and on board electrical units may be freely accessed via a physical connection to the car.

g) Charging and / or discharging of the ERS energy storage devices.

h) The brake system may be bled.

i) Engine oil may be drained.

j) Compressed gases may be drained or added.

k) Fluids may be drained and/or replenished, however, fluids used for replenishment must conform to the same specification as the original fluid.

l) The aerodynamic set up of the front wing may be adjusted using the existing parts. No parts may be added, removed or replaced.

m) If the FIA technical delegate is satisfied that changes in climatic conditions necessitate alterations to the specification of a car, changes may be made to the brake ducts, as described in Article 3.13 of the Technical Regulations, and to the engine and/or gearbox cooling bodywork that lies within the RV-BODY-REAR and/or RV-RBW-EC reference volumes, as defined in Appendix 1 of the Technical Regulations. These changes may be made at any time after all Competitors have been sent the message “CHANGE IN CLIMATIC CONDITIONS” using the official messaging system. From this point onwards the choice of brake ducts and engine and/or gearbox cooling bodywork is free and pitot tubes may be covered or uncovered, subject always to compliance with the relevant Technical Regulations.

n) Bodywork (excluding radiators) may be removed and/or cleaned.

o) Cosmetic changes may be made to the bodywork and tape may be added.

p) Any part of the car may be cleaned.

q) On board cameras, marshalling system components, timing transponders and any associated equipment may be removed, refitted or checked.

r) Any work required by the Technical Delegate.

s) Changes to improve the driver’s comfort. In this context anything other than the adjustment of mirrors, seat belts and pedals may only be carried out with the specific permission of the Technical Delegate.

i) Should ambient temperature change significantly, Competitors will be requested to change the head padding required by Article 12.6.1-6 of the Technical Regulations using the official messaging system.

ii) The addition or removal of padding (or similar material) is also permitted but may only be carried out under supervision and, if required by the Technical Delegate, must be removed before the post-race weighing procedure.

t) Drinking fluid for the driver may be added at any time, however, the capacity of the container for any such fluid must not exceed 1.5 litres.

u) Repair of genuine accident damage.

v) Any parts which are removed from the car in order to carry out any work specifically permitted above, or any parts removed to carry out essential safety checks, must remain close to it and, at all times, be visible to the scrutineer assigned to the relevant car.

i) Furthermore, any parts removed from the car in order to carry out any such work must be refitted before the car leaves the pit lane.

40.3 Any work not listed in Article 40.2 may only be undertaken with the approval of the Technical Delegate following a written request from the Competitor concerned. It must be clear that any replacement part a Competitor wishes to fit is the same in design and similar in mass, inertia and function to the original. Exceptionally, at an Event where a sprint session is scheduled, replacement parts that are different in design will be permitted provided that the part is of a specification that has been used previously in a qualifying practice session or a race. In such cases, the Competitor should inform the FIA prior to the start of the sprint session of any part where this may be necessary. Any parts removed will be retained by the FIA.

If a Competitor is granted permission to change a survival cell, any of the additional components detailed in Article 27.2 may also be changed provided that the spare survival cell was already fitted with these additional components at the time of the request.

If a Competitor wishes to change a part during the qualifying practice session, on the grid before the start of the sprint session and between reconnaissance laps and/or on the grid before the start of the race, this may be done without first seeking the permission of the Technical Delegate, provided it is reasonable for the relevant Competitor to believe permission would be given if there was time to ask and the broken or damaged part remains in full view of the scrutineer assigned to the car at all times.

40.4 At each Event where a sprint session is scheduled, and in addition to the provisions of Article 40.2 above, other than when cars are sealed overnight in accordance with Article 40.6, the following work may be carried out:

a) The following items may be replaced with components of the same specification:

i) Brake Discs and Caliper pads

ii) Engine Exhaust System

iii) Engine Oil Filters

iv) Intake Air filter

v) Spark plugs

40.5 At the end of the qualifying practice session at least six (6) cars will be chosen at random to undergo further checks, once informed their car has been selected the Competitor concerned must take the car to the parc fermé immediately.

40.6 Within two (2) hours of the end of both the qualifying practice and the sprint session (where it is scheduled) all cars used during each session (or which were intended for use but failed to leave the pit lane) must be covered and ready for FIA seals to be applied in order to ensure that they remain secure until the following day. For marketing purposes this deadline may be extended for one car from each Competitor for a maximum of two (2) hours by prior arrangement with the Technical Delegate. Whilst cars are covered overnight, they may be fitted with devices to keep them warm.

40.7 At each Event where a sprint session is scheduled, three (3) hours before the start of P2, the seals and covers may be removed but the cars will remain under parc fermé conditions until the start of the race.

40.8 Five (5) hours before the scheduled start of the formation lap for the race, the seals and covers may be removed but the cars will remain under parc fermé conditions until the start of the race.

40.9 A Competitor may not modify any part on the car or make changes to the set-up of the suspension whilst the car is being held under parc fermé conditions. In the case of a breach of this Article the relevant driver must:

a) start the sprint session from the pit lane and follow the procedures prescribed in Article 43.3, if the parc fermé conditions are breached from the start of the qualifying practice session until the car leaves the pit lane for the sprint session; and/or

b) start the race from the pit lane and follow the procedures prescribed in Article 44.2, if the parc fermé conditions are breached from the start of the sprint session until the car leaves the pit lane for the race.

In order that the scrutineers may be completely satisfied that no alterations have been made to the suspension systems or aerodynamic configuration of the car (with the exception of the front wing) whilst in pre-race parc fermé, it must be clear from physical inspection that changes cannot be made without the use of tools.

40.10 One (1) scrutineer will be allocated to each car for the purpose of ensuring that no unauthorised work is carried out whilst cars are being held under parc fermé conditions.

40.11 A list of parts replaced with the specific agreement of the Technical Delegate whilst cars are being held under parc fermé conditions will be published and distributed to all Competitors prior to the race.

40.12 The mass of oil contained in each oil tank, with the exception of the main oil tank, must be declared to the FIA one (1) hour before the scheduled start of the race.

 

60) POST SPRINT AND POST RACE PARC FERMÉ

60.1 Only those officials charged with supervision may enter the parc fermé. No intervention of any kind is allowed there unless authorised by such officials.

60.2 When the parc fermé is in use, parc fermé regulations will apply in the area between the Line and the parc fermé entrance.

60.3 The parc fermé shall be secured such that no unauthorised persons can gain access to it.

60.4 Each Driver must remain fully attired until after they have been weighed (e.g.: Helmet, Gloves, etc.)

60.5 Drivers must not interfere with parc fermé protocols in any way.
