F1 filming day rules tweaked for 2024 - Here’s what it means

Under the current F1 sporting regulations, teams are permitted to conduct t▨wo ‘Promotional Event’ runs throughout the year, with such outings heavily restricted. 

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

Such runs had pr🍎eviously been restric💖ted to 100km per day, but teams will now be allowed to run their cars for up to 200km. 

This was changed wit♔h immediate eff🎶ect following a vote at the FIA’s World Motorsport Council. 

Teams will still have to fit their cars with an FIA ECU and use specifically provided Pirellꦦi tyres for the events.

Another change means that teams will no longer have to inform rivals🌸 when they conduct demonstration events. These are limited to a maximum of 50km of running, twice per season. 

The FIA has also introduc⛎ed a clampdown on new components being used when teams test old cars. 

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

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

“For the avoidance of doubt, only instrumentation and sens👍ors that are required for the ꦦreliable operation of the car and have been fitted at one or more races of the period will be permitted.”
