APPENDIX 4

ENGINE HOMOLOGATION

1. A homologated engine is an engine identical in every respect to either :

(i) An engine delivered to the FIA on or prior to 8 October 2006, such engine having completed two race
Events during the 2006 Championship season. However, any competitor who is unable to provide an
engine which has completed two races at this time may do so on 22 October 2006.

(ii) An engine delivered to the FIA on or prior to 1 March 2007, such engine being identical to one
delivered under (i) above but which has been modified by having any of the parts listed below
changed :

- Inlet and exhaust ports
- Combustion chamber
- Inlet and exhaust camshafts (including followers)
- Inlet and exhaust valves
- Piston shape and squirt jets
- Piston pins
- Connecting rod small ends and bearings
- Big end bearings and oil flow rate to them

Further changes, for car installation purposes only and which have no direct performance benefit, will
also be permitted. Such changes are limited to :

- engine pick-up points to chassis and gearbox
- fluid inlets and outlets
- fixings for engine ancillaries
- electrical sensor installations
- engine ballast weight attachments
- bodywork and skid block fixings

If a competitor intends to modify any of the parts listed above he must provide precise details of the
planned changes to the FIA on or before 15 December 2006. Once details have been provided in this
way no further changes will be permitted.

(iii) An engine delivered to the FIA after 1 March 2007, or modified and re-delivered to the FIA after 1
March 2007, which the FIA is satisfied, in its absolute discretion and after full consultation with all
other suppliers of engines for the Championship, could fairly and equitably be allowed to compete
with other homologated engines.

All such engines should be delivered in such a condition that the seals required under Article 87(d) can be
fitted. Engines will be held by the FIA throughout the homologation period.

Al final del todo está.

Mirándolo desde ese punto de vista podría ser hasta lógico... pero aún así, resulta muy extraño para un deporte como la F1, que no permitan el desarrollo de los motores. Realmente esto está cambiando, pero no sabemos si para mejor o para peor.

Eso sí, por lo menos, estoy esperando a la temporada que viene, que sin ayudas electrónicas va a ser mucho más espectacular... y se va a evidenciar más quién es mal piloto
