Article 11.1
Plank Base Polygon
Chapter: APPENDIX C2: REGULATION VOLUMES
In Simple Terms
The plank base polygon defines the outer boundary shape of the car's plank (the flat wooden board on the car's underside) using specific corner points. Imagine drawing a closed outline on a flat surface by connecting dots in sequence—that's essentially what this rule describes.
- Defines the RV-PLANK (rear view plank) base geometry using corner coordinates on a flat plane
- The polygon must be simple and closed, meaning edges connect sequentially without crossing
- Specified [X, Y] vertices create the exact shape that teams must comply with
- Measured on a plane at Z=0 (the reference height level)
Official FIA Text
On a plane through Z=0, a simple, closed polygon whose edges pass through specified [X, Y] vertices sequentially to define RV-PLANK base geometry.
