Article 3.4
ERS Volume Trimming
Chapter: APPENDIX C2: REGULATION VOLUMES
In Simple Terms
After the ERS (Energy Recovery System) volume is fully defined in the previous section, teams must trim it using a specific surface called RS-PU-FWD-ERS. Everything in front of this surface must be removed, ensuring the ERS component fits within the allowed boundaries.
- The ERS volume must be trimmed using the RS-PU-FWD-ERS surface as the cutting boundary
- All material located ahead of (in front of) this surface must be discarded or removed
- This ensures the ERS component complies with the maximum allowed volume specifications
- The trimming process is a mandatory technical requirement for all ERS installations
Official FIA Text
Once the volume in §3.3 is fully defined, it must be trimmed by the surface RS-PU-FWD-ERS with all material ahead of this surface discarded.
