Outboard Suspension - Wheel Position Definition

In Simple Terms

As the suspension moves up and down, the wheel must stay pointed in essentially the same direction—it can't twist or angle more than 1 degree over a small 10mm movement. This ensures fair suspension geometry and prevents teams from getting sneaky advantages by using suspension that changes the wheel's angle.

• The wheel's position and angle must be controlled ONLY by vertical suspension movement, not by steering input
• The wheel can't change its directional angle by more than 1 degree when the suspension compresses or extends by 10mm
• This rule prevents teams from designing suspension systems that inadvertently steer the wheel or change its camber excessively during normal operation
