The FIA’s World Motor Sport Council got together at Barcelona, Spain on Wednesday, and, besides confirming a 17-race calendar for ’07 – with the USGP at Indy scheduled for June 17 – announced a roster of sporting and technical rules tweaks for next season.
Among the main novelties are the extension of the two Friday practice sessions from one hour to 90 minutes and the elimination of the third Friday car. Each team will be allowed to run just two cars on Fridays, to be manned by either racer or a nominated tester. Given the added running time on the first day of GP weekends, the two-race engine regulations will now only apply to the second day of practice (Saturday) and the day of the race. In addition, the WMSC ratified that engines homologated and used during the last two events of 2006 must now be used during the 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 seasons.
Another important change is the introduction of a U.S. racing-inspired “free pass” for lapped cars during safety car periods. Before the SC returns to the pits, any lapped car between cars running on the lead lap must pass those cars and the SC, then proceed around the track to take up position at the back of the line.
Also borrowed from American racing is the addition of cockpit lights redundant to the flag signs to make drivers more easily aware of the race stewards’ red, yellow and blue flag signs.
For 2008, the FIA also agreed on the introduction of a mandatory standard ECU (Engine Control Unit) for all testing sessions in addition to the race meetings.
Finally, the entity confirmed a 17-race calendar for '07, with no possibilities of an 18th race being added. That event was the San Marino GP, which was not included in the provisional F1 schedule previously released but whose promoters were holding negotiations with the governing body to stay in the calendar for next year.
