Article D6.1.3
Currency Conversion for Adjustments
Chapter: D
In Simple Terms
When F1 teams use a currency other than US dollars (like euros or pounds), any dollar amounts in the cost cap rules get converted to their local currency using an official exchange rate set at the beginning of the year. This ensures fair comparison across teams worldwide.
- Teams with non-USD currencies convert dollar amounts to their local currency
- The conversion uses the 'Initial Applicable Rate' - the official exchange rate set at the start of the period
- This applies specifically to adjustments under Article D6 (cost cap provisions)
- Ensures consistent cost cap enforcement across all teams regardless of their reporting currency
Official FIA Text
For purposes of Article D6, where an F1 Team has a Presentation Currency other than US Dollars, amounts expressed in US Dollars shall be converted into that F1 Team's Presentation Currency at the Initial Applicable Rate.
