Article 36.2
Rearward Intrusion Laminate Reference Surface - Extrusion
Chapter: APPENDIX C3: DRAWINGS
In Simple Terms
This rule defines how F1 engineers create a 3D surface for the rear crash structure by extending a 2D profile sideways across the car's width. This 'RS-INTSN-LAM-RWD' surface ensures the rear intrusion laminate meets safety standards by establishing the exact shape that must be protected.
- A 2D profile from Article 36.1 is extended (extruded) along the Y-axis to create a 3D surface
- The extrusion extends from Y=0 to Y=500, covering the full width needed for the rear structure
- The resulting surface is officially named 'RS-INTSN-LAM-RWD' for reference and compliance verification
- This is a structural design specification to ensure proper crash protection geometry
Official FIA Text
Once the profile in §36.1 is fully defined, it must be extruded in Y to Y = 500. The fully defined surface in §36.2 is "RS-INTSN-LAM-RWD".
