Under the cuไrrent F1 sporting regulations, teams are permitted to conduct two ‘Promotional Event’ runs throughout the year, with such outings heavily restricted. 

These have been increasingly used by teams as ‘shakedown’ events in recent ꦏyears, pr🍌oviding a chance to run their new cars for the first time ahead of official pre-season testing. 

Such runs had previously been restricted to 100km per day, but teams will no🌳w be all🍰owed to run their cars for up to 200km. 

This was changed with immediate effect following a vote at the🐠 FIA’s World Motorsport Council. 

Teams will🐼 still have to fit their cars w⛦ith an FIA ECU and use specifically provided Pirelli tyres for the events.

An👍other change means that teams will no longer have to inform rivals when they conduct demonstration events. Th🐲ese are limited to a maximum of 50km of running, twice per season. 

The FIA has also int🌊roduced a clampdown on neꦅw components being used when teams test old cars. 

An update means that Articl🎀e 10.2 C) now states: "Cars must only use components and software of a specification that have been used in at least one (1) Competition or TCC (testing of a current car] of a Championship season.”

Another new rule states: "No test parts, sensors, instrumentation, test software, component changes, operation𓄧al tests or ওprocedural tests will be permitted which give any sort of information to the Competitor that is related to cars of the current Championship or cars complying with TCC. 

“For th✤e avoidance of doubt, only instrumentation and sensors that are required for the reliable operation of the car and have been fitted at one o🍸r more races of the period will be permitted.”
