It says 'floor edges lifted by 15mm' does that mean total of 15 mm of the track, or was there an existing 'limit' which it is added too?OO7 wrote: ↑09 Aug 2022, 14:22https://racingnews365.com/f1-teams-agre ... -amendmentSevach wrote: ↑09 Aug 2022, 12:19I can't find anything regarding the final decision for 2023, where you got the info?saviour stivala wrote: ↑09 Aug 2022, 04:20

I haven't consulted the regs, but I believe currently the floor edges can be designed to rest on the reference plane. For 2023 they'll have to be at least 15mm above the ref plane.Big Tea wrote: ↑09 Aug 2022, 15:28It says 'floor edges lifted by 15mm' does that mean total of 15 mm of the track, or was there an existing 'limit' which it is added too?
It sounds like the FIA will more tightly police excessive floor edge flexing as a result which has been visible on the W13.OO7 wrote: ↑09 Aug 2022, 17:55I haven't consulted the regs, but I believe currently the floor edges can be designed to rest on the reference plane.

A number of cars run with the floor edges on / near the ground. Just like the mythical "Mercedes has a flexing front wing" that ignores everyone else doing exactly the same.AR3-GP wrote: ↑09 Aug 2022, 18:10It sounds like the FIA will more tightly police excessive floor edge flexing as a result which has been visible on the W13.

As they have with the plank. Skidblocks of a set length that cannot grind down below a stated length.
They could have but didn't go down that route. I can only surmise that raising the floor edges is the simplest method and flex isn't of much concern or rather the F.I.A doesn't perceive flexing of the floor edge to be a significant issue under the new regs.
