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.
