2013 FORMULA RENAULT 1.6 Technical Regulations -7-
13/03/2013
except where a car is adjudged to be non-compliant with the Technical
Regulations.
2.1 - Role of the ASN and RENAULT SPORT
The technical regu
lations applying to the FORMULA RENAULT 1.6 are issued by
RENAULT SPORT in agreement with the ASN.
2.2 - Publication date for amendments
Throughou
t the year, RENAULT SPORT, in agreement with the ASN, will publish
any changes to these regulations.
Changes made for safety reasons can come into effect without prior notice.
2.3 – Permanent compliance with the regulations
FOR
MULA RENAULT 1.6 cars must comply with these regulations in their entirety,
throughout an event. Competitors must ensure that their cars respect
compliance and safety conditions at all times, throughout an event.
Presenting a car for preliminary Scrutineering will be considered as an implicit
statement that the car is in compliance with the regulations.
Note:
preliminary Scrutineering is mainly focused on the eligibility of cars for
their participation in an event in terms of safety. Any potential observation made
by the Scrutineers on racing and technical regulations is provided for information
purposes; restoring the vehicle to a state of compliance is a requirement to be
able to take part in qualifying practice sessions and races.
2.4 – Seals
The engin
e must be sealed at all times. Supplementary components may be
sealed at any moment of an event. These seals must stay intact until
authorization from the RENAULT SPORT Scrutineers is given to remove them.
The state of the seals is the responsibility of the Competitor. Any absence or
damage will automatically result in a penalty that can extend to exclusion from
the championship.
Any missing or damaged seal will be considered non-compliant with the technical
regulations.
The presence of seals is just a presumption of conformity. As part of
Scrutineering, the sealed parts may be completely removed and if any non-
compliance is observed, the presence of seals will not be accepted as an
argument for defence.
2.5 - Measurements
All
size measurements (geometric) must be taken when the car is stationary on a
flat, horizontal and hard surface.
All height measurements will be made when the car is in normal racing condition.
