FIA
FORMULA 1 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
PRELIMINARY PROPOSALS FOR NEW RULES TO TAKE EFFECT ON 1 JANUARY 2004
Engine
  *  2.4 litre V8;
  *  maximum of four valves per cylinder;
  *  two-race engine (fool-proof method for ensuring this rule is
    observed, plus carefully calculated penalty system for unscheduled
    changes);
  *  list of components which must be made from a specific material
    and/or using a specified manufacturing process;
  *  ban on variable geometry inlet and exhaust systems;
  *  standard ECU (under FIA control)
  *  ban on ultra high pressure (direct injection) fuel systems enforced
    by means of FIA ECU;
  *  maximum modulus of elasticity (stiffness) of materials reduced from
    40 Gpa to 32 Gpa (throughout car).
Transmission, braking and steering
  *  manual gearbox with electronic over-rev safeguard;
  *  manually operated clutch;
  *  ban on electronically controlled differentials;
  *  ban on power steering systems;
  *  standard brake discs, pads and calipers.
Chassis
  *  weight limit reduced by at least 50 kilos (to eliminate ballast and
    thus reduce kinetic energy in an accident);
  *  a combined tyre and aerodynamic package to be published no later
    than 31 December 2004 to achieve specific targets for cornering
    speeds, straight-line speeds, grip and braking performance, taking
    weight reduction into acount;
  *  tyre (wheel) width reduced at front, increased at rear to allow
    weight distribution consistent with no ballast and to give greater
    drag (total of front +rear widths to stay same).
Sporting
  *  no spare car allowed during entire Event;
  *  cars to be held under parc fermé conditions during entire Event;
  *  one tyre supplier only, all sporting aspects of supply contract
    under control of FIA;
  *  drastic restriction on private testing, limited by mileage rather
    than number of days, enforced by means of FIA ECU;
  *  two (identical) sets of tyres for qualifying and race;
  *  Friday practice: package to ensure cars run, possibly to include a
    qualifying session;
  *  new qualifying system to be discussed with commercial rights holder
    (broadcasters), teams and race promoters;
  *  if qualifying continues to be with race fuel, consider whether
    amount of fuel in refuelling rig before race should be fixed annually
    in sporting regulations with amount of fuel in car for qualifying and
    race free (to encourage fuel efficiency);
  *  no tyre change during race (except genuine puncture), refuelling to
    stay;
  *  consider if constructors' points should be scored by a maximum of
    four specified cars (two teams) per constructor (to encourage major
    teams to make cars and information available to teams coming into
    Formula 1, see below);
General
  *  no restriction on the sale, loan or exchange of chassis and
    components between teams or to new entrants in the championship;
  *  twelve entries to be accepted each year, entries to close on 1 July
    for following season;
  *  guaranteed entries each year for teams with long-term contracts to
    compete in championship;
  *  technical and sporting rule changes for future seasons to be subject
    to a majority vote of the teams already contracted to compete during
    the season in which the rule changes will apply;
  *  technical rule changes concerning Formula 1 to be announced in June
    to take effect on 1 January of the second year following the
    announcement (for example, a technical rule change for 2012 would be
    announced no later than 1 July 2010, having first been approved by a
    majority of the teams already contracted to participate in 2012);
  *  no rule changes after entries close for a given Championship without
    consent of all accepted teams.
