External accelerometer installation

In Simple Terms

Teams must install one external accelerometer (a device that measures forces and impacts) in the cockpit. This accelerometer must be securely bolted to the car's safety cell using four bolts. This device helps the FIA collect safety data during races.

• Exactly one 500g accelerometer must be connected to the FIA ADR (accident data recorder)
• The accelerometer must be mounted inside the cockpit area
• It must be permanently secured to the Survival Cell using four 4mm bolts
• This is a mandatory safety equipment requirement for data collection
