Lip to Scooped Drum

Chapter: C3

In Simple Terms

This rule allows teams to shape the outer wheel bodywork by combining and trimming the drum (the curved part) and lip (the edge) components. The curved transitions between these parts can't be sharper than 20mm radius. Teams can also trim and adjust the front drum deflector, hangers, and debris guard with specific curved transitions allowed.

  • Outboard wheel bodywork is made by combining scooped drum and lip components
  • Maximum fillet radius (curved transition) allowed is 20mm
  • Front drum deflector, hangers, and debris guard can be trimmed and combined following specified rules
  • Teams have design flexibility within these dimensional constraints
Official FIA Text
