ride height control

[tuj]

I heard rumors earlier in the season that there was some form of ride height control being used. I heard of both gas bleed systems and ratchet systems. were these ever confirmed? If so, does anyone know which systems where used and how they worked?

Hi,

these systems are still all but confirmed, and in fact illegal. For a bit more information though, you could start here:

Thanks Tomba, lots of interesting ideas in that thread, but has anything actually been confirmed as far as a system the teams are/were using? And has the FIA taken the view that a 'programmed' suspension that adjusts itself under parc ferme is illegal?
