1.  GENERAL INFORMATION

A1GP POWERED BY FERRARI CHASSIS MANUAL

1.1.  GENERAL DISCLAIMER

Motor sport is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and consequently this manual sets out guidance to assist with

the safe and correct operation, use and maintenance requirements of the chassis of the A1GP

car . The nature of motor sport places the chassis under significant stress and pressure which can

create abnormal and extreme operating conditions, also accidents can happen. This manual isprovided as a guide only, without representation or warranty and is provided to users on the basis

that each user accepts all risks associated with driving a motor sport vehicle and taking part in a

motor sport event and to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be solely responsible for all loss

or damage occurring to his or her person or property.

A1GP suggests that, under normal operating conditions, the structural components of the chassis

when new, would not show material failure before the A1GP car has completed in excess of 8000

Km. This mileage guide is provided subject to all necessary maintenance and regular safety

checks being undertaken as appropriate and provided the car is not involved in accidents. A1GP

is not responsible for incorrect chassis repairs, or for chassis repairs made outside of A1GP’s

designated factory, or by suppliers other than those appointed and recommended by A1GP or in

centres not authorized by A1GP. The chassis should be tested and inspected for structural failure

not less than 12 months after delivery from the A1GP factory and then each subsequent 12

months and/or upon completing more than 8000 Km and after any major accident. The chassis

should also be checked if A1GP or A1GP’s appointed suppliers advice as such. All testing and

material maintenance requirements of the chassis should be completed by A1GP or A1GP’s

appointed suppliers.

1.2.  CONTROLLED PARTS

Teams are not allowed to use, test or run chassis parts not supplied by A1GP except for the parts related to

driver comfort in the cockpit.

1.6.2.  CASTOR

When the car is flat (front and rear ride height are identical ) and the front upright inclination is 0.00°

[APPARENT CASTOR ] the effective castor angle is 6.06° [BUILT-IN CASTOR ].

With different front to rear ride heights, castor angle changes because of the pitch angle of the car.

For instance, with 25 mm front and 55mm rear ride heights, measured at wheel axis, (wheelbase is 3100 mm)the pitch angle is 0.55° and castor angles (both apparent and total) are reduced.

Pitch angle : [(55-25)/3100] • 57.296 = 0.55°

Total Castor angle : 6.06° - 0.55° = 5.51°

Apparent Castor angle : 0.00° - 0.55° = -0.55°

There is no Castor Adjustment.

1.8.  FRONT SUSPENSION GEOMETRY RESULTS

Reference points: Z “0” Bottom of chassis (top of wooden skid)

Notations:

•  Wheel Def. : Wheel movement

•  Ride Height: The distance from the bottom of the chassis Z “0” line to the ground plane.

•  R.C. Height: The distance from the roll centre to the ground plane.

•  R.C. to 0-L : The distance from the bottom of the chassis Z “0” line to the roll centre, a

negative number denotes that the roll centre is above the chassis Z “0” line.

•  R.C. Parity: The percentage of roll centre change in heave relative to the chassis, 100%

would mean the roll centre move the same distance as the chassis moves in heave, more

than 100% i.e. 120% means the roll centre movement is more then the chassis moves in

heave, and less than 100% i.e. 80% means the roll centre movement is less than the chassis

moves in heave.

•  Cam. Angle: The camber angle of the wheel.

•  Cam. Change: The camber angle change of the wheel.

•  VSAL Lateral: The virtual swing axle length, lateral.

•  VSAL Long: The virtual swing axle length, longitudinal.

•  Scrub: The change in lateral wheel movement in heave from the centre line of the car.

•  Unit Wheel rate: The Unit wheel rate is defined as the wheel rate for a spring rate of 1.

Mathematically it is defined as 1/VR2

.

•  Rising Rate: The rising rate is defined firstly as the increase in wheel rate in heave expressed

as a percentage.

•  Inst Rising Rate: The instant rising rate is defined as the rate of increase or gradient of the

rising rate curve.

1.10. BRAKES ASSEMBLY

CALIPERS TECHNICAL DETAILS

Introduction

The aim of this document is to inform the A1GP Teams about the caliper features and its components givingalso information about when and how service it.

Caliper technical details

P6 28/30/36 Aluminium Mono-block.

Front left p/n XA8.35.01

Front right p/n XA8.35.02

Rear left p/n XA8.35.11

Rear right p/n XA8.35.12

Maximum stack: 78mm

Caliper service

The recommended working temperature for the A1GP caliper is < 210°C.

Over 210°C the seals fitted into the caliper can be overheated and they will not guarantee the right

performances of the caliper (sealing, roll back, fluid absorption,…).

In order to keep under control the caliper temperature Brembo suggests to use its thermo-tape:

  scale 132°C/210°C p/n 025168.10

  scale 210°C/260°C p/n 025168.13

If the caliper temperature goes over 210°C the seals have to be opportunely refreshed.

After 2000km the caliper has to be serviced changing the following components:

1.  pistons

2.  seals

3.  pad abutments

4. bleed screws

Ti insert

The caliper has fitted Ti inserts in order to reduce the heat exchange between the pads and the caliper 

body/brake fluid. The thickness of the Ti inserts is 4mm. The Ti inserts are just clipped on the pistons.

Even when the Ti inserts are fitted on the pistons the maximum carbon stack is 78mm.

CARBON-CARBON BRAKES

Introduction

The aim of this document is to help the A1GP Teams on managing the carbon friction material. Because of

wear rate and performance are strictly related with the pads and the disc working temperature in the next

rows the brake system cooling will be focused.

Carbon technical details

Disc

Carbon material: MBC 100 

Brembo p/n: XA7.88.B2

Dimensions: 278mm x 28mm x 44 mm

Ventilation holes. 30x10 mm oblong holes 

Minimum thickness: 17mm

Pad

Carbon material: CCR 400 

Brembo p/n: 07.9206.41

Dimensions: 25mm x 44mm

Back plate: 12mm

Minimum thickness: 12mm

Carbon material working temperature

In order to have the best performances from the carbon material MBC 100 the disc working temperature at

the beginning of the braking phase (it is what Brembo calls “Initial Temperature”, measurable in the end ofthe straight before touching the brakes) have to be in the range of 350°C-550°C.

Use the Brembo paint (p/n 02.5711.10) on the discs in order to check the disc temperature. In a normal use it

should be:

  the green paint completely turn to white (T> 430°C);

  the red paint turn to white just close to the friction surface (T>610°C);

  do not remove paint as it erode the surface when removed;

On a green track, during the first practice, Brembo suggests to start always with partially blanked ducts

(from 20% to 50% it depends on the circuit duty). After the first run adjust the duct blanking in order to

guarantee the correct working temperature of carbon material and caliper.

Bedding

With new discs and pads it is necessary generate a high temperature in order to guarantee the quick 

bedding of the disc and pad contact surfaces. On the out lap the driver has not to be too gentle on the

brakes in order to avoid any glazing problem.

Brake ducts: about 50% blanked.

Glazing

The “glazing” is a physical phenomenon that happens when the carbon material is used in low

temperature/energy conditions. If the disc and the pads are glazed the friction coefficient drop

dramatically creating problem on the brake balance and on the braking performance.

It is quite easy recognize a disc or a pad glazed: the surface looks shiny and touching it with a finger it

remains normally quite clean (or cleaner than with the carbon not glazed!).

On the A1GP car the rear axle is more sensible to the glazing because of the balance distribution and the

brake system cooling, this is the reason why Brembo suggests to the teams to consider always a partial rear 

duct blanking on the light duty tracks.

The glazing is a degenerative phenomenon, if it starts it is possible trying to recover blanking the ducts and

asking the driver to push hard on the brakes. In this case the best thing to do is glass paper the disc and/or 

the pads in order to remove the glazed layer.

In case of rain / cold conditions / extremely light track 

Carbon can be used in raining condition without any problem, but a blank of the air ducts of about 50% is

recommended in order to have the initial disc temperature higher then 300-350°C.

The same procedure has to be followed if the track is extremely light on brakes or if it is in low grip condition.

New pads on a used disc

It could happen it is necessary fit new pads on a used disc or vice versa, in these cases for the first laps the

pedal could feel a bit longer because of the pad and the discs surfaces have to be bedded.

In this case Brembo suggest to follow the same procedure recommended for the “bedding”.

Remember that disc and pads must be changed when the minimum thicknesses are:

DISCS PADS

New Minimum thickness New Minimum thickness

28mm 17mm 25mm 12mm

The Minimum thickness is based on piston travel and covers the situation where 2 pads are at 12mm and

disc at 17mm, then the caliper pistons are still within the caliper seals. If the pads are thicker, the disc could

be thinner.

Disc resurfacing

The discs can be resurfaced in order to have flat rubbing surfaces and the disc holes centred in the disc

thickness (the disc wear could not be even between the two half of the disc).

The disc resurface is not easy and if it is not done properly the disc could generate judder. If you are going

to resurface the discs Brembo recommends to contact Brembo and send the discs to the Brembo factory in

order to be machined.

Storing

Carbon discs and pads must be stored in appropriate boxes in order to avoid any possible damage during

transportation.

Contamination

Carbon discs and pads do not have to go in touch with lubricants, brake fluids, hydrocarbons, solvents or 

acids.

Notes

The thickness of the discs and pads to start a Race is a different situation; the wear prediction has to be

calculated from the practice sessions.

Brake balance: 56% starting setting

2.3.  SETUP ADJUSTMENT

The different adjustments that can be made in the car are the following:

-  Ride Height

-  Camber 

-  Toe

-  Damper’s setting

-  3rd Spring

-  ARB

The changes are set as following:

Positive Change in: Means:

Ride height Car moves up

Camber Upper part of rim moves outwards

Toe Toe Out

2.3.1.  RIDE HEIGHT

The starting point set-up gives ride heights at the front and rear axle centrelines at the plane of thebottom of the plank (Z = -10.0mm), as per the wind tunnel data. The ride height is defined as the

distance between that plane and the road surface.

For the adjustment of the Ride Height the pushrod adjusters are used. Both Front and Rear have the same

pitch 5/8 – 24 UNEF, what it means a change of 2.117mm per turn.

DAMPERS ADJUSTMENT

Dual Bleed Shaft

The Dual-Bleed Adjuster consists of two knobs in series that are internally sprung against each other to

provide positive detent feel when making adjustments. They are adjusted radially in a clockwise direction

to add damping in compression and rebound.

Dual Bleed Compression Adjustment

The Compression Bleed Adjuster affects the low-speed region of the compression curve (from 0-2in/sec)

and will be more effective the higher the overall low-speed forces (i.e. the more low-speed compression

built into the damper). Range: (30) clicks

2.4.  RIDE HEIGHT CHECK AND REFERENCES

Ride heights are critical for setting and changing the aerodynamic performance of the car.

It could be difficult to measure the ride heights directly, so we provide alternative references.

The example shown is the car in the design configuration with front ride height 25mm and rear ride height

55mm (at the wheel axis under the skid). Pitch angle in the design configuration is 0.554°. (3100 wheelbase)

Measuring front ride height:

[ 1 ] There are two flat areas provided on the top of the Monocoque aligned with the front wheel centre

line, at 576mm from the bottom of the car, (under side of skid (plank), 10mm below the “0” line).

Their distance from the ground is 601 – 576 = 25mm.

[ 2 ] A flat surface is about 216.4 mm behind the front wheel centre line (front of the skid). You can calculate

the ride height at the wheel as follows:

measured 27.1 – 216.4 * tan (pitch angle) = 25mm

Measuring rear ride height:

[ 1 ] There is a machined area provided on the gearbox, aligned with the rear wheel centre line, at 409mm

from car bottom, (under side of skid, (plank) 10mm below the “0” line).

Its distance from the ground is 464 – 509 = 55mm.

[ 2 ] Under the flat bottom, about 200mm ahead of the rear wheel axis, there is a flat surface (Rear of the

Skid Plate). You can measure the ground clearance and calculate the ride height at the rear centre line as

follows:

measured 53.1mm + 200 * tan ( pitch angle ) = 55 mm

For a more general procedure:

• Define your desired ride heights, front and rear ( F & R ) [mm]

• Calculate the pitch angle 57.29 * ( R – F ) / 3100.

• Calculate which value you should measure from the reference you choose.

3.1.  FRONT WING ASSEMBLY

The different Parts of the Front Wing Assembly are:

3.1.1.  FRONT WING MAIN PLANE

The Front Wing Mainplane height on its bottom surface lowest point is:

To set these values, different Shims with thickness of 0.5, 1 and 2 mm are provided (nominal

distance is 2mm) for assembling it to the pylons:

Page 83: A1GP Car Manual Issue 1 3

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/a1gp-car-manual-issue-1-3 83/99

Page 83 of 99 

The angle of the Mainplane is fixed to 1.5 degs referenced to the 0 line.

3.1.2.  FRONT WING FLAP

Flap angles can be adjusted with the Flap adjuster. One complete turn of the adjuster is one

degree in Flap angle.

The angle range of the Flap is from 15 degs to 27 degs. 

A gurney can be fitted on the gurney to obtain an extra front downforce and balance, the

gurney is attached by means of double sided tape:

3.5.3.  REAR WING MAIN-PLANE ADJUSTMENT RANGE

The Adjustment of the main-plane assembly is made using the five holes located in the End Plates:

-  The adjustment goes from the lower incidence in P1 (top hole) to High incidence in P5 (lower hole).

-  Low Downforce configuration is based in the range from P1 to P3 without gurney.

-  High Downforce configuration is based in the range from P3 to P5 with the 10mm gurney.

-  An Extra Downforce position can be achieved with the 20mm gurney in P5.

3.6.  AERODYNAMIC DATA

This data is to be used in conjunction with the VDP (Vehicle Dynamics Program) to aid set-up of

the A1GP-F01 car.

The information given in this report has been taken from data recorded from accurate modelling

of a 40% scale model in a closed section constant Reynolds number wind tunnel at Southampton

University. Track testing of the A1GP-F01 car has given a close track to wind tunnel correlation of

aerodynamic forces and radiator cooling information.

Notations

•  All forces are quoted in Kilograms (Kg) @ 240kph assuming ISA conditions. •  All dimensions are full scale in mm. 

•  Ride heights are quoted in mm from the ground to 10mm below and perpendicular to the

reference plane (“0” line) the under side of the plank at the front and rear axle centrelines. 

•  Radiator data is given as a delta percentage of velocity from the base line configuration. 

•  All front wing angles are quoted in degrees. 

•  All rear wing angles are quoted in hole positions. 

Aero values are given @ the following ambient conditions;

Temperature = 15°C

Pressure = 1013 mbHumidity = 0% (dry air)

Aerodynamic forces are function of air temperature, pressure and humidity because they affect

the air density.

Typically,

Higher Air Temperature by 10° F ( 5.5 °C) reduces downforce and drag by 3.0 %

Higher Air Pressure by 1” Hg increases downforce and drag by 3.0%

Higher Air Relative Humidity by 50% increases downforce and drag by 0.5%

Drag: Total drag of the car including the contribution of front and rear wheel withTyre profiles.

Downforce: Total downforce generated by the car, excluding wheels.

Front Downforce: Downforce acting on the front tyre contact point.

Rear Downforce: Downforce acting on the rear tyre contact point.

Front Balance %: Downforce percentage spilt on front tyre contact point (=100*Lf /Lt)

Efficiency: Total Downforce divided by the total Drag L/D

difficulties. In order to achieve that, the following instructions have to be followed:

Page 98: A1GP Car Manual Issue 1 3

7/27/2019 A1GP Car Manual Issue 1 3

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/a1gp-car-manual-issue-1-3 98/99

Page 98 of 99 

-  The seat must to be correctly fitted in the carbon shell.

-  The holes for the leg straps in the carbon shell and those in the seat must to be aligned.

-  The leg straps have to exit in front of the driver’s crotch.

-  Check that when the driver is in the car, he is not sitting on the leg straps.

OK INCORRECT

The hole made in the driver seat to pass the lower seat belts must be large enough.

4.3.2.  CARBON SHELL

In order to keep the extractable seat characteristics, NO MODIFICATION IS ALLOWED ON THE CARBON SHELL.

Page 99: A1GP Car Manual Issue 1 3

7/27/2019 A1GP Car Manual Issue 1 3

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/a1gp-car-manual-issue-1-3 99/99

4.3.3.  QUICK RELEASE BLACK SOCKET POSITION

The black sockets must be maintained in position on the edge of the carbon shell in order to allow quick 

fitting of the extraction tools.

4.3.4.  SIDE BELTS

It is recommended that the side belts of the carbon shell are attached together to avoid them being

trapped between the shell and the chassis.

4.3.5.  DRIVER SEAT DIMENSION

Driver seat must not exceed the carbon shell length and width.
