2019 Regulations Update Bulletin

2019 Regulations update.

Following consultation with MSUK and input from a number of competitors, we have changed the wording of clause 2.22.1 which used to say:

Competitors must fit cameras that shall capture an image that provides a view of the circuit ahead with a field of vision at least 160 degrees. The camera shall be mounted to the windscreen. The camera power must be fed from a plug or adaptor plugged into the original 12v socket.

It now says:

Competitors must fit cameras that shall capture an image that provides a view of the circuit ahead with a diagonal field of vision at least 149 degrees. The camera shall be either mounted to the windscreen using a permanent adhesive mount (if double sided tape is used it must be VHB type) or bolted to the top of the dashboard above the radio. If windscreen mounted, the camera and mount must be tethered to the cage or bodyshell using a suitable wire or strap and must not allow the camera to hit the driver in the event it becomes detached from the windscreen. The camera power must be fed from a plug or adaptor plugged into the original 12v socket.

The reason for this change is to allow GoPro cameras to be used, to qualify the field of vision, to allow the camera to be mounted on the top of the dashboard as an option and to specify how the camera is to be mounted to the windscreen. We hope this gives you more flexibility in terms of the equipment you can use.

A number of people have asked for advice on an appropriate camera to buy and there are some good suggestions on the Citroen C1 Racing Unofficial Drivers And Fans Groups on Facebook.
