The digits in the following table represent the blade positions: 1=full soft, 5=full hard.
15/87
The data refers to the component stiffness: one side of the ARB (one drop link) is considered fixed
and on the other one the stiffness is measured.
The stiffness in this case is F/displ (on one side).
If you need the ARB stiffness @ Ground you have to use what we call AntiSymmetric Model Stiffness
that is 2*component stiffness.
In this case in fact, analyse the roll behaviour of the ARB and you have to consider that both the
sides of the component are moving: under the same force F applied, the displacements will be
displ/2 on one side and -displ/2 on the other side.
The stiffness, as explained, will be 2*component stiffness [F/(displ/2)].
The ARB stiffness @ Ground is AntiSymmetric Model Stiffness/MRarb^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 5.80 [ BUILT-IN CASTOR ].
With different front to rear ride heights, castor angle changes because of the pitch angle of the car.
For instance, with 20 mm front and 40mm rear ride heights, measured at wheel axis, (wheelbase
is 3120 mm) the pitch angle is 0.367 and castor angles (both apparent and total) are reduced.

NOSE FIXING
The nose fixing pins can be pre-adjusted by mounting them on the nose respecting the dimension
illustrated below; which is 43,4mm from the top of the head of the pin to the nose counterbore hole
on the nose in contact with the steel bush of the tub.
After that, a fine tuning is required, in order to guarantee a good lock on each cam; by using
the Allen key hole on the head of the pin.

During regular maintenance you might find the rocker is axially too tight or too loose.
Look at the following procedure: remove all pieces except for the rocker pin and perform a
preliminary installation without the O-rings
If the force is more than 0.05 kg ( 0.1 lbs ), machine down the upper case hardened spacer.
Typically, to prevent the rocker from being too tight, the spacer should be close to 1 mm thick for
the front and 1.50 mm thick for the rear.
If the spacer is too thin, the rocker assembly has too much play, if the spacer is too thick the
rocker assembly is locked.
When you have found the proper thickness, perform a definitive installation with the O-rings.

FRONT WHEEL BEARING
It is mandatory to fit the external front bearing as in the image below to have a proper face to face
contact between the bearing itself and the hub surface.
Bearing Removal
a) Remove the wheel speed indicator disc by removing the 3 M4 screws.
b) Remove the bearing nut.
c) Put the upright under a press, resting it against the plane sides of it.
d) Warm the upright up to 60-70C
e) Press off the hub from the upright using an aluminum jig.
f) Keeping the upright warm, knock or load on the inner track of the bearing. In case of knocking, gn
alluminun jig is recommended.
The following jigs for the front upright assembly are available from Dallara on order

Upright assembly
a) Put the upright on a press, and using the jig 20501073 place one of the bearings into the upright.
b) Put the upright onto jig 20501072, against the bearing mounted at a), introduce the bearing
preload spacer and using the jig 20501073 place the second bearing into the upright.
c) Put both sides seals and seeger rings into the upright.

DAMPERS
DIMENSIONS
Standard dampers are KONI 2612-010-961 Front and KONI 2822-728-475 Rear.
On the front damper you should always use the 20mm Teflon spacer to prevent the rocker to
lock.
The standard Koni damper has about 30kg of pre-load, due to the internal gas pressure.

Koni dampers are adjustable both in bump and rebound, at low speed only the fronts, and at low and high
speed the rears, by acting on the adjusters marked B (for bump adjustment) and R (for rebound adjustment).
Each adjuster has eight different positions.

SETTING UP
Finding a good set-up for your dampers may seem a difficult task. It is not, as long as you keep in
mind to:
-Make changes to the settings in small steps (1-2 clicks at a time)
-Keep track of all changes made and their effect.
-Aim for a good chassis balance first, and only then starts searching for outright performance.
1. Set all dampers at their minimum adjustment position for both Bump and Rebound.
2. Carefully drive the car a few laps and increase speed gradually so you can get a feeling for the
car.
3. At this stage do not pay too much attention to excessive body roll, a wallowing ride and possible
loss of down force that may occur because of this.
4. Increase the bump settings by two clicks at a time only, on all dampers.
5. When you arrive at a Bump setting that makes the car too harsh, back off the Bump setting one
click.
6. Note: Front and rear may need different settings.
7. The standard Bump settings have now been determined.
8. Next increase the Rebound settings on all dampers one or two clicks at a time. Pay special
attention to changes in attitude of the chassis when entering corners or accelerating out.
9. Increase Rebound settings until the car feels precise and stable. Changes of direction or throttle
10. Position should not result in drastic change of chassis attitude. Too much Rebound generally
results in loss of grip. Too much at the front will give understeer on turn-in, too much at the rear
results in loss of traction and/or oversteer on turn-in.
11. Note: Front and rear may need different settings.
12. Basic set--up is now completed for this car and track.
13. To avoid mistakes, verify that the dampers are set correctly from time to time.
Additional tips
A) When you change spring rates, expect to change your basic set-up as well.
B) A damper only functions when it moves. When the suspension stops moving due to lack of
travel, the damper will not have any influence on handling. A wheel that runs out of Bump travel
loses grip suddenly and viciously.
C) Try to stick to the balance between Bump and Rebound settings as found during standard
set-up. If you wish to tighten things up, start by increasing both Bump and Rebound settings.
Beware not to end up in a situation as described at B), caused by a damper dynamically jacking
the suspension up or down.
D) An increase of damping forces at one end of the car will tend to make the other end move
more. On pitch sensitive ground effect cars this can disturb the aerodynamic balance.

AERODYNAMICS
DEFINITIONS
Aero values are given @ the following amibient conditions;
Temperature = 15C
Pressure = 1013 mb
Humidity = 0% (dry air)
Aeroloads are function of air temperature, pressure and humidity inasmuch they affect 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 number includes front and rear wheels contribution
Front Downforce is meant at the front axle , it includes frontal area contribution
Rear Downforce is meant at the rear axle, it includes frontal area contribution
Efficiency is Total Downforce / Drag
Balance is the Downforce split percentage on front (=100*Lf /Lt).
To calculate aero loads, D/force or Drag, multiply the coefficients given by Speed squared ( m/s )
and by current air density (kgm-2s^2 ), which is function of current ambient temperature, pressure
and humidity.
Hence
Load ( kg ) = 0.5* Coefficient * Speed ( m/s ) ^2 * Density ( Kgm-2s^2 )

1. Introduction
The radiator model has the same geometrical shape and permeability of its full scale counterpart.
The correct permeability has been obtained through a preliminary calibration.
The wheels are separated from the model and their drag is measured by single axis load cells
mounted on the wheel arms.
All the ride heights are evaluated on the front and rear wheel axis by means of the positioning
system of the model.
Some pictures of the model installation are shown hereafter.

3. Aerodynamic data
This section is dedicated to the aerodynamic data for the front and rear wing assemblies. All the data
are relative to single ride heights (12.5mm/25mm) acquisitions with the exceptions of the aeromaps
that require 50 or 32 ride heights acquisitions. Each of the rear wing angle sweeps included in
paragraphs b, c and d are carried out at fixed front wing configuration, i.e. not balanced. The same
approach is adopted for the front wing flap sweep (paragraph a). Some balanced configurations are
presented in the final paragraph.
Definitions :
Very Low downforce configuration :
o front flap without gurney
o front wing without central flap
o no rear wing top flap
o rear wing top mainplane with/without 10 mm gurney
Low downforce configuration :
o front flap with gurney
o rear wing top flap without gurney
Mid downforce configuration :
o front flap with gurney
o rear wing top flap without gurney
High downforce configuration :
o front flap with gurney
o rear wing top flap with/without 10 mm gurney

h. Constant balance rear top assembly and front flap angles adjustments
Keeping the same approach of the previous paragraph, it is here analysed the variation of rear
top assembly angle needed to rebalance a fixed variation of front wing flap. For the sake of
simplicity, the rebalance has been carried out in a range of angles for which the rear top
assembly slope is constant (i.e. not close to stall angle).

BRAKE SYSTEM
Brembo suggest a maximum caliper temperature of 200C. Overheating could damage the
piston seals and the hub bearing seals too. Dallara STRONGLY SUGGEST to use cooler fan
devices when the car stops at the garages.

BREMBO CALIPER:
Technical details
Introduction
The aim of this document is to inform the GP2 Teams about the caliper features and its components
giving also information about when and how service it.

scale 210C/260C
p/n 02.5168.13
If the caliper temperature goes over 210C 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
5. bridge pipe
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 74mm.

Remarks:
last year Brembo supply the CCR400 as pad friction material. After the positive experience in F1
Brembo will supply for the 2006 season the new CCR500 that guaranty the same friction
performance of CCR400 and a sensible reduction in the pad wear. With the CCR500 Brembo is
expecting a better and even distribution of the wear between disc and pads for the 2006 season.

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 Dallara 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.

DETAILS
The Lifeline system is an electrically triggered Halon or foam spray fire extinguisher system. The
system uses actuators to operate the valves located on the pressurised container, containing the
extinguishing liquid. These are triggered remotely using a battery powered power pack.
In order to guarantee reliability the actuators are of military specifications. The system/battery test
electronics are integrated into the remote power pack. Connectors on the firing heads are also of
military grade and use two contacts per lead to guarantee the best connections.
Actuators are designed either to operate individually, or connected in series if two heads are used.
TESTING
The power pack electronics can test the continuity of the electrical wiring, and provides a high
current pulse test on the battery, to ensure system integrity before use. The battery test electronics
do not excessively drain the battery during this test.
The tests are carried out using a three-way switch on the power pack. Since the system is only as
good as the battery that powers it and the integrity of the wiring and its connections, the tests
should be performed before each race.
To check the battery, press and hold up the power pack switch. Every 2 seconds youll see a
YELLOW light flash. If the light flashes very dimly the battery should be replaced. In doubt change
the battery.
To check the wiring continuity, ensure that the power pack switch is on SYSTEM INACTIVE to
ensure that the extinguisher is not fired. Press the internal firing button and check that the RED light
comes on. Press the external firing button and check that this also makes the RED light comes on.
CARES
Ensure that the electric command cables are not laying next to or in the same loom as the car
battery power cables or ignition cables. Ideally, all cables should lie next to the chassis (earth);
Ensure that all plugs exposed to water spray are protected with rubber boots;
If tubing is to be removed, push orange collet in. While holding in the collet, pull out the tube;
Avoid any cable to run over sharp edges without protection;
Do not fix the cables next to or onto any surface likely to exceed 200 C;
Do not turn the firing heads when the system is activated.

FIRE SYSTEM
Take good care of the fire extinguisher: T02 models are activated with small explosive charge. Worn
to all the team crew for improper handling.
STEERING:
Steering rack side tie rod ends must be absolutely replaced in case of every crash.
WISHBONES:
Never lift up the car by pulling on the wishbones. Never sit or stand on the wishbones.
SUSPENSION
After every accident, check alignment of front and rear pushrod and of their respective adjusters.
Wishbones are treated with PARCO-LUBRITE. Clean the surface with acetone before inspection.
Check periodically the K-nuts, which fix the blade of rear antiroll bar to the drop links: they must
not come loose.
After every event check visually the front and rear uprights.
After 3 events check with penetrating die the front and rear uprights.
Replace the front lower wishbone stud after mid season (approximately 35004000Km).

The wheels are manufactured in accordance with the drawing and design agreed with the TEAM or
CAR MAKER.
Each wheel is then identified with a serial number which makes the tracing of the wheels possible.
This serial number is composed of: production batch of the wheel, production year of the wheel,
progressive number of the wheel.
It is marked on the front side of the wheel as per attached FIG.1.
Example:
25 06 005
25 = production batch
06 = year (2006)
005 = serial number id.
The use of the wheel is only permitted on competition vehicles.
No amendments can be made to the wheel, the latter shall conform to the original drawing and design.
In case of amendments to the assembly system with reference to the original vehicle, they will have to
be sent to O.Z. at first for checking and confirmation of the possibility to still use the wheel on the
vehicle.
The wheels duration is not infinite but is limited in the time. The normal life of a wheel is considered to
be a couple of seasons of average use.
Careful washing and visual control of the wheels are highly recommended after every use.
Only water and mild soap shall be used for cleaning in order to not damage the paint and avoid
corrosion start. The use of aggressive products is not allowed.
Special care has to be taken not only on washing/cleaning of the wheels but also in storage as in
general Mg alloys suffer from galvanic corrosion in presence of water or simply of humidity.
After washing the wheels shall be dried and stored in dry places; they shall not be kept in humid places
or wet floors and shall lay on an insulating base (such as wooden pallet or similar). The use of
water/humidity tight boxes is highly recommended for wheel freight.
Little scratches are sure starting points for corrosion start and progress. Corrosion can proceed under
the paint layer also without evident bubbles or signs.
A corrosion spot (even little) is a potential trigger for a crack start.
The critical areas where a special care is needed are:
-
the inside lip of the rim (possibility of out-of-round due to collision with curbs and possibility of
fatigue cracks due to stress)
the central area disc - (it is subject to fatigue stress); especially the spoke backside and the tip
of the ventilation windows (see critical areas in red colour on FIG.2, FIG.3, FIG.4 and FIG.5)
the mounting flange (it is subjected to fretting black powder due to use): black powder worn
surfaces shall be as homogeneous as possible and located (see FIG.6):
on the area from the pegs PCD to the outer diameter
around the pegs (especially on the area of a.m. point)
NO deep imprinting or lines, dents or other lack of material that can jeopardise a good and
smooth contact between wheel and hubs shall be present. A jeopardised contact between
wheel and hub can cause failures in the disk and in the central nut areas reducing a lot the
wheel life.
-
the central nut seat; it must be worn homogeneously especially in the area of the bigger
diameter of the cone (see FIG.7). No deep imprinting or lines, dents or other lack of material are
permitted as they can jeopardise the torque force resulting in a dangerous wheel fixing.
the rim on brake side; no deep (more than 0.5mm) or sharp lines are permitted (e.g. for example
lines coming from little stones in between wheel and brake or cooling air duct etc.
Out-of-roundness should be detected by means of gauge measurement on the outer and inner bead
seats (radial and axial), making the wheel rotate around their axis (centred on the wheel hub).
Crack detection should be executed by means of penetrating/fluorescent liquid investigation. Simple
visual check is not sufficient to identify a start of a crack. Under visual check , if there is a doubt , the
wheel shall not be used without a more comprehensive test.
The wheels shall not be used if / in case of:
-
out-of-round on edges (axial or radial run out of inner or outer rim lip) bigger than 1 mm;
lack of material, due to collision in general or interference with the Calliper, which depth is
bigger than 0,5 mm;
deep imprinting or lack of material in the mounting flange or in the central nut seat
Whatever incident involving the wheel occurs, even small, penetrating/fluorescent liquid control and
dimensional check are highly recommended before using the wheel again.
