http://fia.com/en-GB/sport/regulatio...mpionship.aspx
Summary:
- Strictly controlled areas in which the exhausts must be placed; much higher in the bodywork
- "Exotic" engine maps banned to prevent off throttle exhaust blowing
- In season testing returns, presently planned for three days at Mugello starting 1st May
- Maximum nose height reduced from 62.5cm to 55cm from the ground (will take some getting used to)
- Lapped drivers will be allowed to unlap themselves under safety car conditions
- If in defending his position a driver leaves the racing line, he will not be allowed to retake it (could be a big change)
- Drivers will not be able to leave the track without good reason (e.g. cutting chicanes during in-laps to save time/fuel)
- Use of helium in tyre air guns banned
