It is permitted to use twin shoulder straps and to use fixed length belts provided they are sourced from the Auto GP
chassis supplier.

14.6 Rear Light

All cars must have a red light in working order throughout the event which:
- Is the one supplied by the Auto GP - Faces rearwards at 90 degrees to the car centre line.
- Is c1early visible from the rear.

reference plane.

The three measurements above will be taken to the centre of the rear face of the light unit.

14.7 Headrest and head protection

14.7.1 All cars must be equipped with three areas of padding for the driver's head which:
- are so arranged that they can be removed from the car as one part;

2015 Auto GP Technical Regulation

- are located by two horizontal pegs behind the driver's head and two fixings,
which are c1early indicated and easily removable without tools, at the front corners;
- are made from a material approved by the FIA.
- are fitted with a cover manufactured from 60-240 g/m2 materials which use suitable thermosetting resin systems;
- are positioned so as to be the first point of contact for the driver's helmet in the event of an impact projecting his
head towards them during an accident.
- must not be covered with any material other than planting

14.7.1.1 It is not permitted to add additional padding to the head rest other than as detailed in the technical
manual which otherwise must remain as supplied by the Auto GP chassis supplier, therefore the pedals, steering
wheel and paddles etc must be moved towards him using parts specified by the Auto GP chassis supplier and the
engine supplier.

14.7.1.2 Once showing signs of surface cracking the headrest surround must be replaced. To prevent cracking it is
recommended that in the pits the headrest is fitted once the driver is sat in the car and removed before the driver
exists the car

14.7.2 The first area of padding for the driver's head must be positioned behind him and be between 75 mm and 90
mm thick over an area of at least 40000 mm2.

14.7.3 The two further areas of padding for the driver's head must be positioned directly alongside each side of his
helmet. The upper surfaces of these areas of padding must be at least as high as the survival cell over their entire
length. this padding must be covered in Alcantara or similar and fixed to the inside of the chassis using velcro or
similar material.
Each area of padding must be between 75 mm and 90 mm thick over an area of at least 25000 mm2 and may
have a radius of 10mm along its upper inboard edge. When calculating their area, any part which is greater than
75mm thick and which Iays between the front face of the rear area of padding and the forward-most part of the
driver's helmet whilst he is seated normally, will be taken into account (area 'B' in Drawing 4). The thickness will be
measured perpendicular to the car centre line.

14.7.4 Forward of the side areas of padding further cockpit padding must be provided on each side of the cockpit
rim the purpose of the additional padding is to afford protection to the driver's head in the event of an oblique
frontal impact and must therefore be made from the same material as the other three areas of padding. These
extensions must:
be symmetrically positioned about the car centre line and a continuation of the
side areas of padding;
- be positioned with their upper surfaces at least as high as the survival cell over
their entire length;
- have a radius on their upper inboard edge no greater than 10 mm;
- be positioned in order that the distance between the two is no less than360 mm;
- be as high as practicable within the constraints of driver comfort.

14.7.5 All of the padding described above must be so installed that if movement of the driver's head, in any
expected trajectory during an accident, were to compress the foam fully at any point, his helmet would not make
contact with any structural part of the car Furthermore, for the benefit of rescue crews all of the padding described
above must be installed using the FIA approved system. The method of removal must also be clearly indicated.

14.7.6 No part of the padding described above may obscure sight of any part of the driver's helmet when he is
seated normally and viewed from directly above the car

14.7.7 In order to minimise the risk of leg injury during an accident, additional areas of padding must be fitted each
side of, and above, the driver's legs;
These areas of padding must:
- be made from a material approved by the FIA.
- be no less than 25 mm thick over their entire area;
- cover the area situated between points Iaying 50 mm behind the centre of the point at which the second roll
structure test is carried out and 100 mm behind the face of the rearmost pedal when in the inoperative position, as
shown in Drawing 4;
- cover the area above the line A-A shown in Drawing 3;

14.8 Wheel retention

All cars, whilst under their own power, must be fitted with devices which will retain any wheel in the event of it
coming loose.

14.9 Seat fixing and removal

2015 Auto GP Technical Regulation
14.9.1 In order that an injured driver may be removed from the car in his seat following an accident, all cars must
be fitted with a seat which, if it is secured, must be done so with no more than two bolts.
If bolts are used they must:
- Be clearly indicated and easily accessible to rescue crews;
- Be fitted vertically;
- Be removable with the same tool for all Teams and which is issued to all rescue crews.

14.9.2 The seat must be equipped with receptacles which permit the fitting of belts to secure the driver and one
which will permit the fitting of a neck support

14.9.3 The seat must be removable without the need to cut or remove any of the seat belts.

14.9.4 Details of the tool referred to above, the belt receptacles and the neck support are available from the FIA
Technical Department.
