Engine Heat Shields

In Simple Terms

Teams must install heat shields around hot engine components inside the power unit area to protect surrounding parts and prevent damage. These shields are mandatory safety equipment that keeps extreme engine temperatures contained within a defined boundary.

• Heat shields are required for all components inside the Power Unit Supply Perimeter
• Shields protect other parts from excessive heat damage and maintain structural integrity
• Non-compliance with heat shield requirements can result in technical violations
• Regular inspection ensures shields remain in place and function properly throughout the season
