Article C8.16.5
Camera mounting angle
Chapter: C8
In Simple Terms
Cameras mounted on the car in certain positions (2, 3, or 4) must be angled very precisely—their main axis can't tilt more than 1 degree from being perfectly level with the ground. This ensures all teams use cameras pointed in the same direction for fair comparison and consistency.
- Applies only to cameras in positions 2, 3, and 4 on the car
- Maximum allowed angle is 1 degree from the horizontal plane (Z=0)
- Ensures standardized camera orientation across all cars for fairness
- The camera's major axis must remain nearly perfectly level
Official FIA Text
Any camera fitted in positions 2, 3 or 4 must be mounted in order that its major axis does not subtend an angle greater than 1° to the plane Z=0.
