At the beginning of the season (at least 1 month before the first race) the<br />

Manufacturer shall send to the <strong>FIM</strong> the drawings of the oil trays designed to<br />

match the engines used in the competition in agreement with the rules.<br />

Oil lines containing positive pressure, if replaced, shall be of metal reinforced<br />

construction with swaged or treaded connectors. Manufactured solid construction<br />

oil lines, where practical, shall be replaced also.<br />

All sidecars shall attach oil absorbent materials of no less a quality than 3M<br />

Product number 05656 or CEP Sorbents/ product number CEP-EP100.<br />

This material shall be securely fixed to the following areas of the sidecar:<br />

1. The entire oil tray, both the bottom and inside walls of the same. The<br />

volume of material used in this area, according to manufacturer’s<br />

specifications, shall absorb not less than 3 litres of oil.<br />

2. The top and side area of the chassis facing the engine. This shall<br />

completely enclose the top and side of the chassis to an area not less than<br />

the overall length of the engine. It is preferable that the oil absorbent<br />

material be attached to the side and top of the chassis in the area behind<br />

the engine also.<br />

3. The inside of the fairing surrounding the engine and the area of the fairing<br />

directly behind the engine, including the part of the fairing that encloses the<br />

rear of the engine.<br />

4. The oil cooler area (if an oil cooler is used). This shall be mounted directly<br />

underneath the oil cooler and surrounding accessible tray areas of the<br />

sidecar. It shall also include without obstructing the air flow any part of the<br />

fairing or chassis in the area directly surrounding the oil cooler.<br />

The inside of the fairing surrounding the engine and the area of the fairing<br />

directly behind the engine, including the part of the fairing that encloses the rear<br />

of the engine.<br />

In the event that oil is absorbed by the material, it shall be replaced before the<br />

next track session.<br />
