Race start detection systems

In Simple Terms

Teams are not allowed to use any technology or system that helps them detect when the race start signal is given. This rule ensures all drivers start on equal terms, relying on their own reactions and awareness rather than technological aids.

• No devices or systems can be used to detect the race start signal
• This applies to any technology with the purpose or effect of detecting the start
• The rule ensures fair competition by preventing technological advantages at the start
• Teams must rely on driver skill and reaction time alone
