OSC/OSCNT First Year Designation

In Simple Terms

When a team uses a new standardized component (OSC/OSCNT) for the first time in a season, they must submit the design of the equivalent part they used the previous year by July 15th. This helps F1 verify that the new component is a fair replacement and maintains competitive balance.

• Applies only to components designated as OSC or OSCNT in their first year of use
• Teams must upload the previous year's equivalent component design by July 15th deadline
• This submission is required for initial homologation and approval of new standardized parts
• Failure to submit documentation could result in the new component not being approved for use
