Last year, a ban came into effect to phase out power plants until 2025. However, teams still have some room for engine upgrades. Which – said the head of the engine construction department of Renault Bruno Famen.
“In accordance with the regulations, we have the option to change the layout of the power plant,” said the Famen edition of Racingnews365. “We can fit a new intake manifold or replace the exhaust system to help our colleagues at Enstone improve the aerodynamics of the car.
We are very limited in software development – one update per year is allowed. In principle, all engine improvements are aimed at a step-by-step increase in efficiency. It’s not about pure power, it’s about better handling and integration with the chassis.”
