Pneumatic valve pressure control

In Simple Terms

Teams can only control the air pressure in pneumatic valves (parts that use compressed air) in two ways: either through a simple mechanical regulator that works on its own, or through the official FIA computer system. The FIA's computer constantly watches to make sure teams follow this rule.

• Pneumatic valve pressure control is limited to two methods: passive mechanical regulators or the FIA Standard ECU
• The FIA Standard ECU monitors all pneumatic valve pressure operations to ensure compliance
• No alternative or unsanctioned control systems are permitted
• This regulation prevents teams from gaining unfair advantages through unauthorized pressure adjustments
