Article 6.2
Definition of Core Activities
Chapter: Appendix 5
In Simple Terms
This rule defines what counts as 'core activities' for car manufacturers in F1. Essentially, it means the main business of designing, making, and selling cars—as officially defined by the International Standards Commission (ISC). This matters for F1 because it helps determine which companies qualify as automotive manufacturers under the regulations.
- Core Activities are limited to three main functions: Design, Production, and Sale of automobiles
- The definition follows ISC (International Standards Commission) standards for what constitutes an automobile
- This definition is used to establish eligibility and status for automotive manufacturers in F1
- It distinguishes true automotive manufacturers from other types of companies
Official FIA Text
The Core Activities of an Automotive Manufacturer are the Design, production and sale of automobiles as defined in the ISC.
