Article C18.3.3
SSPUC Supplier Failure Reclassification
Chapter: C18
In Simple Terms
If the FIA's chosen supplier for a specific F1 part (SSPUC) can't deliver or the deal falls through, the FIA can change that part's classification to a different category (LPUC, OSPUC, or DSPUC) and update the technical rules accordingly. This ensures the sport can continue smoothly even if a supplier arrangement breaks down.
- FIA has authority to reclassify parts if the selected supplier fails or the contract ends
- Parts can be moved between four categories: SSPUC, LPUC, OSPUC, or DSPUC
- Technical regulations will be adjusted to match the new classification
- This rule ensures F1 can adapt quickly to supply chain disruptions
Official FIA Text
If FIA selection fails or supplier arrangement terminates, FIA reserves right to reclassify SSPUC as LPUC, OSPUC or DSPUC and introduce appropriate technical rules.
