DSPUC Information Transfer Prohibition

Chapter: C18

In Simple Terms

Power unit manufacturers are completely banned from sharing technical information, data, or secrets about their hybrid power systems with other teams. They also cannot receive such information from competitors. This rule keeps the competition fair by preventing manufacturers from helping each other develop faster engines.

  • PU manufacturers cannot share DSPUC (Hybrid Power Unit) technical information with other manufacturers
  • Information transfer is prohibited in both directions - sharing and receiving are both against the rules
  • This includes data, know-how, and performance enhancement methodologies
  • The rule ensures each manufacturer develops their power unit independently
Official FIA Text

PU Manufacturers must not pass information, data, know-how or performance enhancement methodologies regarding DSPUC to other manufacturers or receive such information.
