LTC Information Transfer Prohibition

Chapter: C17

In Simple Terms

Teams cannot share any information about their car's aerodynamic components (called the LTC - Low Downforce Configuration) with other teams. This includes technical data, designs, drawings, computer simulations, or analysis tools, whether they share it directly or through a middleman.

  • Teams are completely prohibited from sharing LTC technical information with competitors
  • The ban covers all forms of information transfer: direct, indirect, data, designs, drawings, software, and analysis tools
  • This rule ensures competitive fairness by preventing teams from copying or benefiting from each other's aerodynamic developments
Official FIA Text

No F1 Team may pass information, consultancy or methodology regarding LTC to another F1 Team directly or indirectly, including data, designs, drawings, simulation software or analysis tools.
