New Technical Rules Spark Revolution at Iconic Street Grand Prix

The season‑opening race on a historic street circuit will run under sweeping technical changes. The sport’s governing body has capped engine output at 350 kW and banned active aerodynamics for the entire session.

Drivers will no longer be allowed to open rear wings in qualifying or during the race, not even on the main straight. Teams must now rely on mechanical grip and static aero setups to stay competitive.

The measures aim to keep the cars controllable through tight corners and to reduce the risk of high‑speed incidents.
