B.2 Seats Driver must be provided with an appropriately constructed seat consisting i ti of fab base ( (squab) b) and db backrest. k t Operating a vehicle in an extremely inclined position induces fatigue, prevents the driver from securing p g sufficient visibility y and may y interfere with the effective functioning of the seatbelt in the event of collision. The lowest point of the drivers seat must be no lower than the bottom surface of the lower frame frame. (use current seat mounting points)

Appendix 1
All vehicles must be equipped with the first and second roll bars (side impact bar) to prevent direct damage to the driver and serious cockpit deformation in the event of a collision or of a car turning over. The first and second roll bars form the basic element of the rollover structure. These structures must be made of steel tubes or other material t i l of f sufficient ffi i t tensile t il strength t th to t protect t t the th driver di from f a force f of f 4w (w=weight of vehicle). The structure must be bolted, welded or otherwise structurally incorporated to the vehicle according to sound engineering g gp practice. For vehicles whose bodywork fulfills the function as the first and second roll bars, the installation of additional roll bars is not necessary. (to show calculation or test for strength analysis will an advantage).

2011 PERODUA

22

Appendix 1
Roll bars must be designed and constructed so that, when correctly installed, they minimize the risk of injury to the driver. The responsibility to secure the necessary strength rests with competitors. No part of roll bars must hamper the entry/exit of the driver or take up the space designed for the driver. B l Below are th the example l of f simple i l roll ll cage d design i which hi h suit it l lower impact requirement which is suitable during the race. (not FIA standard design) Fig 1
