Final Plank Reference Volume

In Simple Terms

This rule establishes the official measurement volume of the car's plank (the wooden board underneath the chassis that protects it). The 'RV-PLANK' is the precisely defined space used by FIA officials to check if a car's plank meets size and wear regulations throughout the season.

• RV-PLANK is the official reference volume for the plank component
• The plank is measured against this defined volume to ensure compliance
• This volume was fully detailed in the previous section (11.4)
• Used by stewards to verify plank legality during technical inspections
