A procedure for checking machines equipped with passive ride height systems was approved.
Previously teams were required to deliver to the Technical Director, at the first event of the season, samples or detailed drawings of their aero body parts. For 2022 machines teams will now be required to provide samples or full 3D CAD models of these parts. Homologated aero body parts from 2021 machines, still used in 2022, will continue to be checked as per current procedures.
Following a request from Brembo, supported by MSMA, the following regulations will now apply to brake dimensions and packages.
Carbon brake discs must be one of the permitted sizes for outside diameter, which are: 320mm, 340mm and 355mm.
At certain circuits, for safety reasons, the use of 340mm or 355mm carbon brake discs is mandatory for the race, if declared Dry by the Race Director.
The circuits currently listed for mandatory minimum size 340mm brake discs are: Motegi (Japan), Spielberg (Austria) and Buriram (Thailand).
At these circuits either 340mm or 355mm discs may be used.
There are no restrictions on brakes disc sizes in a race declared Wet.
To reflect these changes there will now be two alternative brake packages defined in the regulations which must be supplied at a maximum cost of
€80,000.
| Option 1 (Current) | Option 2 (New) |
Calipers | 3 left + 3 right | 2 left + 2 right |
Master Cylinder | 3 | 3 |
Carbon Disc | 10 | 10 |
Pads | 28 | 32 |
