Engineering & Setup Changes

Before each event a Set-Up Sheet will be produced by the F2 Chief Engineer and approved by the FIA Technical Delegate. The Set-Up Sheet will specify the base line set up with which the F2 car will leave the workshop by default. The Set-Up Sheet will also specify the permitted adjustments that may be made.

The driver may request an alternative set up within the permitted adjustments prior to an event provided he or she notifies the nominated F2 personnel by a stipulated date.

The adjustments that may be made will change from time to time and will be finally confirmed following the test programme with the objective of providing drivers with the mechanism to establish a good mechanical and aerodynamic balance to their F2 car.

The provisional permitted adjustments (within specified ranges) are:

• Wing flap settings, front and rear
• Ride heights, front and rear
• Spring pre-load, front and rear
• Anti-roll bar setting front
• Choice of rear anti-roll bars from the specified range
• Damping, bump and rebound, front and rear
• Cambers, front and rear
• Tracking
• Tyre pressures

Certain adjustments will be able to be made by the driver from the cockpit. Whilst the Race Engineer will advise and recommend, the ultimate choice of set up may be made by the driver. Any instances where the driver disagrees with the Race Engineer's recommendation will be recorded.

All cars will have the same gear ratios for an event. During an event the F2 Chief Engineer may determine that a change in one or more gear ratio is necessary, in which case all F2 cars will be changed at the same time to the re-specified ratio.

The F2 personnel including mechanics and race engineers will use reasonable endeavours to keep a driver's set up confidential at all times. Race Engineers may not disclose the set up used by any driver to another driver. Race Engineers will suggest changes based on the handling problems his Driver reports and his experience of helpful solutions.
