Safety Requirements for Test Activities

In Simple Terms

Teams can only use their F1 cars for official test sessions (TCC, TPC, TMC, or PE) if the cars have passed all required safety tests and meet current safety standards. This ensures that any car running on track during these activities is properly inspected and won't put drivers or others at risk.

• Cars must pass both static tests (visual/technical inspection) and dynamic tests (on-track performance checks) before being used in any official test activity
• All safety-related requirements from the current year's Technical Regulations must be met
• This rule applies to four types of test activities: TCC (Tire Testing), TPC (Testing Previous Cars), TMC (Test Marketing Cars), and PE (Promotional Events)
• Non-compliant cars are prohibited from participating in these activities entirely
