Survival Cell Homologation

In Simple Terms

The survival cell (the protective cockpit area around the driver) must be officially approved and certified by FIA according to specific safety standards outlined in Article C13. This ensures every car meets the same rigorous safety requirements to protect drivers.

• The survival cell is the critical safety structure that protects the driver during crashes
• All survival cells must undergo official homologation (approval) before a car can compete
• Homologation requirements are detailed in Article C13 and include crash testing and structural standards
• Non-compliance with homologation standards would render a car ineligible for competition
