Slip Sensor

In Simple Terms

Teams can install a slip sensor (a device that measures tire grip) and its protective cover underneath the front of the chassis in a designated area. The curved surfaces that touch the air must form smooth, single curves from any viewing angle to maintain aerodynamic efficiency and fairness.

• Slip sensors and fairings must be mounted in the specified RV-SLIP zone underneath the forward chassis
• The combined surfaces touching the airstream must create single, smooth curves when viewed from any direction (Z plane)
• This rule ensures aerodynamic consistency and prevents teams from gaining unfair advantages through sensor fairing design
