It was already announced that aerodynamic wings are banned in all
classes from 2017. The wording of the regulation covering this matter
was confirmed: Devices or shapes protruding from the fairing or bodywork and not
integrated in the body streamlining (e.g. wings, fins, bulges, etc.)
that may provide an aerodynamic effect (e.g. providing downforce,
disrupting aerodynamic wake, etc.) are not allowed.
The Technical Director will be the sole judge of whether a device or fairing design falls into the above definition. Furthermore, to avoid that the front of the fairing is wing-shaped, with
unpredictable safety results, the front of the fairing cannot protrude
more than 150mm beyond a vertical line drawn through the front wheel
spindle. (It should be noted that all fairings in current use already
comply with this).
