rear wing regulations 2008?

Post

hello everybody!

I think this is it:
3.10.5 In order to ensure that the relationship between the two upper aerofoil elements cannot change whilst the car is in motion they must be bridged by means of rigid impervious supports (including any adjustment mechanism) arranged such that no part of the trailing edge of the forward section may be more than 250mm laterally from a support. These rigid supports must :
- fully enclose the two complete sections such that their inner profile matches that of the two sections. Their outer profile must be offset from the inner profile by between 8 and 30mm and may not incorporate any radius smaller than 10mm (‘gurney’ type trim tabs may however be fitted between the supports) ;
- not be recessed into the wing profiles ;
- be arranged so that any curvature occurs only in a horizontal plane ;
- be between 2 and 3mm thick ;
- be rigidly fixed to the two sections. Some form of adjustment mechanism between the sections may be incorporated for the sole purpose of allowing adjustment of the sections relative to one another whilst the car is in the pits ;
- be constructed from a material with modulus greater than 50GPa
These supports will be ignored when assessing whether the car is in compliance with Articles 3.9.1, 3.9.2, 3.10.1, 3.10.4 and 3.10.6.
3.10.6 No part of the car between 75mm and 480mm from the car centre line may be more than 500mm behind the rear wheel centre line. Any parts of the car less than 75mm from the car centre line and more than 500mm behind the rear wheel centre line must be situated between 200mm and 400mm above the reference plane.
3.10.7 In side view, the projected area of any bodywork lying between 300mm and 800mm above the reference plane and between the rear wheel centre line and a point 600mm behind it must be greater than 230000mm².

A question to the last point:

"3.10.7 In side view, the projected area of any bodywork lying between 300mm and 800mm above the reference plane and between the rear wheel centre line and a point 600mm behind it must be greater than 230000mm²."


Are they talking about the rear wing area with the 230000mm²?
