The upper surface of the Plank Assembly must lie at Z = 0, and must not be in contact with the External Air Stream. b. The geometry of the Plank Assembly must conform to RV-PLANK with a general manufacturing tolerance of ±0.5mm when new, unless a specific dimensional tolerance is defined. c. The Plank Assembly must have three 34mm diameter holes whose axes are parallel to the Z−axis. The centres must lie on Y = 0 and have X-locations X = 500, −600 ≥ X ≥ −800, and 470 F C ≤ X ≤ 630. Furthermore, the centre of the rearmost hole must lie on or ahead of X = −500. PU R d. The thickness of the Plank Assembly measured normal to the lower surface must be 10mm ± 0.2mm and must be uniform when new. A minimum thickness of 8mm will be accepted due to 2026 Formula 1: Technical Regulations 27 February 2026 C2 4 C 0 SECTION C: TECHNICAL REGULATIONS wear, and conformity to this provision will be checked at the peripheries of the holes required by (c) above. Evaluation of Skid wear will be made by physical measurement of the Skid with it removed from the car. The Measurement will be made with a micrometer with a 6.35mm diameter anvil. When measured in this way, the entire periphery of each hole must be within the specified tolerance. Four additional 10mm diameter holes are permitted provided their sole purpose is to allow access to the bolts which secure the FIA ADR to the Survival Cell.
