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 BA R STIFFNESS

There are three different T shaped anti roll bars:

Ø18mm thickness 4,5mm Ø25mm thickness 2,5mm Ø30mm thickness 5mm

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

7/18/2019 Gp2 User Manual 2008 v1.0

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,

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 MAX: 38.11 mm
• Outer rocker pin shaft has a dimensional tolerance of MIN: 31.74 mm MAX: 31.75 mm

Rear:

• Inner rocker hole has a dimensional tolerance of MIN: 38.09 mm MAX: 38.11 mm
• Outer rocker pin shaft has a dimensional tolerance of MIN: 31.74 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 hardened”spacer
•  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 (140°C).
• Tools E and F can be bought from DALLARA.

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!

 AERODYNAMICS

DEFINITIONS
 Aero values are given @ the following amibient conditions;
Temperature = 15°C
Pressure = 1013 mb
Humidity = 0% (dry air)
 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
Efficiency is TotalisDownforce
meant at the rear axle, it includes frontal area contribution
/ 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 )

FRONT MAINPLA NE

Design mainplane minimum HEIGHT (from reference plane) 57,5 mm

FRONT FLAP

Flap angle is measured


At the outboard end (longer chord )
On upper surface (placing a ruler on top of the flap)

Flap angle RANGE is 5° - 32° (Step 1°)
 Nominal Flap WICKER HEIGHT = 10 mm 

“H” is meant with reference to the upper flap surface.

2008 AERO MANUAL

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 (25°C) 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 wi ng 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:

Mainplane add-ons Flap add-ons

and rear wing adjustments are illustrated.

3. Aerodyn amic 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.

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 10-
10-0 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.

i. Effect of skirt wear

This paragraph is dedicated to the evaluation of the effect of the skirt wear on the aerodynamic
performance. Two different wear configurations are considered: the first is described by a “linear”
wear starting from the mid length point and ending with a full wear at the skirt rear end, the
second is a constant full wear from the front end to the rear end.

BREMBO CALIPER:
Technical details

Introduction
The aim of this document is to inform the GP2 Teams about the caliper features and its components
giving also information about when and how service it.

Caliper technical details


P6 28/30/36 Aluminium Mono-block.
Front left p/n XA5.E5.01
Front right p/n XA5.E5.02
Rear left p/n XA5.E5.03

Rear right p/n XA5.E5.04


Maximum stack: 74mm

Caliper service
The recommended working temperature for the GP2 caliper is < 210°C.
Over 210°C 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 132°C/210°C p/n 02.5168.10
 scale 210°C/260°C p/n 02.5168.13
If the caliper temperature goes over 210°C 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 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 350°C-
550°C.
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:

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


 the red paint turn to white just close to the friction surface (T>610°C);

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 300-350°C.
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:

DISCS PADS

New Min th. New Min th.

28mm 17mm 23mm 12mm

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.

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 you’ll 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
Installthe
thehole
studwith Loctite
- 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 3500-
4000Km).

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.
