GENERAL AGREEMENT AND WARRANTY


Motor racing is not covered by warranty due to the intentional choice of drivers to race
in a dangerous environment
DALLARA indicates that, under normal operating conditions, this model of car, when new, would not
show failure in structural components before it has completed around 10000 Km. This holds true if
necessary maintenance and checks are provided and if the car had no previous accidents.
DALLARA is not responsible for incorrect chassis repairs, if made outside its factory or in centres not
authorized by DALLARA.
Chassis should be checked for structural failure not later than two years after delivery from
DALLARA factory, and after each major accident. After first check or after any major accident it is
mandatory to check the chassis every year in a centre authorized by DALLARA.

FRONT ANTIROLL BAR STIFFNESS

There are three different T shaped anti roll bars:


18mm thickness 4,5mm

25mm thickness 2,5mm

30mm thickness 5mm

The digits in the following table represent the blade positions: 1=full soft, 5=full hard.

Dallara Automobili GP2 user manual

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.
Pitch angle

[(40-20)/3120] 57.296 = 0,367

Total Castor angle :

5.80 - 0,367 = 5.432

Apparent Castor angle :

0,00 - 0,367 = -0,367

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.

FRONT AND REAR ROCKER MAINTENANCE


Radial tolerance
Front:

Inner rocker hole has a dimensional tolerance of


MIN: 38.09 mm
Outer rocker pin shaft has a dimensional tolerance of MIN: 31.74 mm

MAX: 38.11 mm
MAX: 31.75 mm

Rear:

Inner rocker hole has a dimensional tolerance of


MIN: 38.09 mm
Outer rocker pin shaft has a dimensional tolerance of MIN: 31.74 mm

MAX: 38.11 mm
MAX: 31.75 mm

Wear might occur on the rocker (hole) and on the rocker pin (shaft). Periodically replace bearings to
remove play.

Axial tolerance
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

Install the lower radial needle bearing


Install the lower case hardenedspacer
Add grease
Install the rocker
Install the upper case hardened spacer
Install the upper radial needle bearing
Install the cap
Tighten with the top nut.
Measure how much force is needed to rotate the rocker from the damper pick-up point.

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 AND REAR ROCKER REPLACEMENT


Rear rockers spin around a steel post (A), fitted into the gearbox by a main stud (B), with 242
Loctite.
The post is forced with interference into its housing. This procedure helps when stripping down the
rocker assy.
During maintenance, do not swap the rockers left to right !! Check also protruding dimension as
shown to ensure correct bearing pack installation: in case this value is outside the indicated
tolerance, notify immediately to Dallara.

Unscrew the nut C by applying a torque of 8 Kgm ( 58 lb. ft )


Take the top cap and the rocker off.
Unscrew nut D by a tubular spanner.
Remove pivot A with extractor F. Fit the tool around pivot outer flange and, screwing bolt E in,
take out the pivot.
Remove stud B with the proper tool. The stud is loctited in its insert, be careful when trying to
take it off. When removing the stud, warm the loctited stud thread with heat gun (140C).
Tools E and F can be bought from DALLARA.

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.

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.

Basic damper set-up

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.

Adjusting the setting

Adjusting is done by rotating the adjustment discs, located in the window of


the top eye. For this you only need a steel pin, 1.5 X 50 mm. (0 0.06" x 2").
Drills and rivets work fine!
The UPPER disc is for BUMP (compression) adjustment; the LOWER disc is
for REBOUND (extension) adjustment.
For both Bump and Rebound you have 8 different positions at your fingertips,
each with a positive stop. The discs need to be rotated 180 degrees to go
from minimum to maximum adjustment. The minimum position is referred to
as position 1, the maximum adjustment position is referred to as position 8.
Rotate the discs according to the markings on the top eye. It is marked with
plus and minus signs and the letters B(ump) and R(ebound) next to the
corresponding disc.
Never use excessive force when making adjustments!

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

General wind tunnel testing information


This paragraph is dedicated to a brief description of the GP2 model used for the wind tunnel
development and to some general information of the testing set up.
All runs have been carried out at the same air speed (35 m/s), temperature (25C) and pressure
(1013 mbar).
The car model is a 40% scale and hosts a balance in the driver/engine area. Therefore there is not
an engine model apart from the engine exhaust tubes to simulate their blockage behind the radiators
and a fairing is added in the area between the driver helmet and the steering wheel. The driver
position has been fixed as illustrated in the following picture (dimension in model scale).

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.

2. Rear wing package


The top assembly can be fitted with or without the flap allowing an angle sweep from 9 to 35. It is
necessary to underline how the maximum angle before the wing stall depends on the rear wing
configuration, i.e. with or without flap. Some wing add-ons are needed to reach the top downforce
performance.
Hereafter we will refer to four main configurations:

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

b. Rear top wing in VERY LOW DOWNFORCE configuration


The following tables contain the aero data of the rear top assembly sweeps in VERY LOW
DOWNFORCE configuration (i.e. isolated mainplane). Please note that the reference axis to
measure the top assembly incidence is the line through the leading edge of the mainplane and
the trailing edge of the flap also if the flap is not fitted. Therefore, for example, when indicating
the mainplane at the incidence of 35 its actual incidence is 16.

g. Roll angle sensitivity


The paragraph is dedicated to a brief analysis of the aerodynamic behaviour of the model in
rolling conditions. Considering a fixed mid downforce configuration (front wing flap at 12 with 1010-0 mm gurney and rear wing top assembly @ 16) the effect of a roll angle of 1.0 is explored.
For the obvious reason of having a minimum clearance between the model and the belt, the
comparison is carried out over a ride heights map that in the most demanding condition (i.e. 1.0
roll angle) respect the minimum clearance constraint. We remember that all ride heights are
always measured on the centre line.

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).

Caliper service
The recommended working temperature for the GP2 caliper is < 210C.
Over 210C the seals fitted into the caliper can be overheated and they will not guarantee the right
performances of the caliper (sealing, roll back, fluid absorption,).
In order to keep under control the caliper temperature Brembo suggests to use its thermo-tape:
scale 132C/210C

p/n 02.5168.10

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.

BREMBO CARBON-CARBON BRAKES:

The aim of this document is to help the GP2 Teams on managing the carbon friction material.
Because of wear rate and performance are strictly related with the pads and the disc working
temperature in the next rows the brake system cooling will be focused.

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.

Carbon material working temperature


In order to have the best performances from the carbon material CCR400/CCR500 the disc working
temperature at the beginning of the braking phase (it is what Brembo calls Initial Temperature,
measurable in the end of the straight before touching the brakes) have to be in the range of 350C550C.
Use the Brembo paint (p/n 02.5711.10) on the discs in order to check the disc temperature. In a
normal use it should be:
Dallara Automobili GP2 user manual

71/87

the green paint completely turn to white (T> 430C);


the red paint turn to white just close to the friction surface (T>610C);
On a green track, during the first practice, Brembo suggests to start always with partially blanked
ducts (from 20% to 50% it depends on the circuit duty). After the first run adjust the duct blanking
in order to guarantee the correct working temperature of carbon material and caliper.
Bedding
With new discs and pads it is necessary generate a high temperature in order to guarantee the quick
bedding of the disc and pad contact surfaces. On the out lap the driver has not to be too gentle on
the brakes in order to avoid any glazing problem.
Brake ducts: about 50% blanked.
Glazing
The glazing is a physical phenomenon that happens when the carbon material is used in low
temperature/energy conditions. If the disc and the pads are glazed the friction coefficient drop
dramatically creating problem on the brake balance and on the braking performance.
It is quite easy recognize a disc or a pad glazed: the surface looks shiny and touching it with a finger
it remains normally quite clean (or cleaner than with the carbon not glazed!).
On the GP2 car the rear axle is more sensible to the glazing because of the balance distribution and
the brake system cooling, this is the reason why Brembo suggests to the teams to consider always a
partial rear duct blanking on the light duty tracks.
The glazing is a degenerative phenomenon, if it starts it is possible trying to recover blanking the
ducts and asking the driver to push hard on the brakes. In this case the best thing to do is glass
paper the disc and/or the pads in order to remove the glazed layer.
In case of rain / cold conditions / extremely light track
Carbon can be used in raining condition without any problem, but a blank of the air ducts of about
50% is recommended in order to have the initial disc temperature higher then 300-350C.
The same procedure has to be followed if the track is extremely light on brakes or if it is in low grip
condition.

New pads on a used disc


it could happen it is necessary fit new pads on a used disc or vice versa, in these cases for the first
laps the pedal could feel a bit longer because of the pad and the discs surfaces have to be bedded.
In this case Brembo suggest to follow the same procedure recommended for the bedding.

Remember that disc and pads must be changed when the minimum thicknesses are:

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.

2 - To fill the body with hydraulic oil (5W


suggested), up to the top of the spring washer.

3 To prepare the shaft assy with the main


valve, the throttle-off shims stack setting, and
the top cap; as illustrated below.

4 To introduce the shaft into the body, and


push it down slowly to avoid oil splashing.

5 To bleed it as a normal damper, by moving


the shaft up and down in order to eliminate any
air bubbles.

6 Once the damper is bleeded, keep the shaft


at the bleeding position (see page before), and
secure it in the vice on this position. After that it is
possible to fix the top cap with the Seeger ring.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER SYSTEM LAY-OUT

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.

SAFETY AND UTILITY NOTICES


IN CASE OF ANOMALIES, CONTACT IMMEDIATELY DALLARA.

STUD INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL


It is very important to take an extreme care when removing and substituting the studs. Typically
use:
Loctite 270 (soft Loctite) for suspension brackets, brake calipers
Loctite 242 (hard Loctite) for chassis, gearbox, bell-housing, roll hop
Most of these studs are loctited and do require a proper installation procedure to follow
Clean the hole from dust, debris
Drive a screw tap to remove machining residuals
Clean the hole with compressed air
Pre assemble the stud without Loctite and remove it.
Clean the hole again with a degreaser and dry with compressed air
Coat the hole with Loctite
Install the stud
Tight the stud with the recommended tightening torque.

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).

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF OZ CAST MAGNESIUM WHEELS

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

Rev. 15/10/2007 - page 2/5

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;

collisions or accidents which cause considerable deformation to the wheels;

cracks which can be singled out visually / as a consequence of penetrating/fluorescent


liquid investigation .

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.
