Technical Regulations

Technical Regulations are the official rules that dictate how racing cars must be designed, built, and equipped in motorsport competitions.

These regulations cover everything from the car's dimensions and weight to engine specifications, safety features, and aerodynamic elements. For example, in Formula 1, technical regulations might specify that engines must be 1.6-liter V6 turbos or that cars cannot exceed certain width measurements.

Created and enforced by governing bodies like the FIA, technical regulations serve multiple purposes: ensuring fair competition between teams, maintaining driver safety, controlling costs, and sometimes promoting technological innovation within defined boundaries. Teams must navigate these regulations carefully, finding creative solutions while staying within the rulebook.
