Article C3.14.7
Front Drum Rear Deflector
Chapter: C3
In Simple Terms
The front drum rear deflector is an aerodynamic part on the rear of the car that's created by combining specific components and shaping them according to FIA rules. This part must have curved surfaces that meet exact specifications depending on where they're positioned on the car to ensure fair competition.
- The deflector is formed by combining the rear front wing housing (RS-FWH-RDEF) with the deflector's leading edge
- Aerodynamic surfaces must include concave (inward-curving) radius specifications that vary based on the XW plane location
- Compliance is determined through trim and combination regulations to maintain consistent aerodynamic performance across all cars
Official FIA Text
Front Drum Rear Deflector results from Trim and Combination of RS-FWH-RDEF and Deflector Leading Edge. Aerodynamic Surfaces must contain specified concave radius constraints depending on XW plane location.
