Skids

In Simple Terms

Teams can attach wear-resistant skid material to the bottom of the car's plank (floor) around three holes. The front hole must use a metal skid made from specific titanium or stainless steel alloys, while the middle and rear holes can optionally have metal skids. All metal skids must be precisely machined from solid material without any additional processing.

• Metallic skids are mandatory only at the forward-most hole; optional at middle and rear holes
• Only two materials allowed for metal skids: Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) or 17-4PH stainless steel
• Metal skids must be machined from solid with no pre- or post-machining modifications
• Skid material must be flush-mounted around the three plank holes
