讓Nakagami 取消資格的罪魁禍首-空氣濾清器

IDEMITSU Honda Team 的亞洲選手 - Takaaki Nakagami ，因為使用海綿型的空氣濾清器，
而不是濾紙形空氣濾清器，上禮拜獲得卡達站第二名的資格被取消。


Nakagami的車隊表示，雖然IRTA已經裁定此零件不合Moto2 CBR600RR 引擎規定，但他們認為這是屬於規範內的，因為他們直接向官方供應商HRC購買了所謂的整裝零件。


Nakagami的車隊已經接受處罰，而他們認為規定應該要在更加明確才行，應該要讓所有的選手及車隊
在開始比賽前就100%清楚的了解規則。


海綿型的空氣濾清器設計上，有可以提高空氣流進入引擎而提高性能的可能性。


目前的規定:

(10)進氣箱(Airbox):只能使用官方供應商(包括空氣過慮器以及二次注入系統(secondary injectors))
的標準進氣箱都可以使用。進氣箱不得修改，改變或增加，除非有規則2.3.6.11所描述的內容。

(11)確保官方供應商不得修改進氣箱。然而在車隊方面允許以下的改變:


(a)進氣管，在空氣清靜器以前，可以改變個別的機箱設計。
    ( The intake ducts, ahead of the air filter, may be changed to suit individual chassis designs.)


(b)共振箱以及進氣箱蓋可以修改或替換，前提是過濾清靜器前的進氣總體積不能比原本的更大。參見附錄中的圖四。
(The resonance chambers and the top of the airbox (airbox lid) may be replaced or modified, provided that the total airbox volume, from the filter back, is no larger than the original. Refer to Diagram 4 in the Appendix.)


如果有改變，原本的空氣溫度感知器必須安裝在同樣的位置，而且不能比原本的位置更靠近二次注入系統。參見附錄中的圖五。
(If such a modified cover is fitted, the original air temperature sensor must be fitted on this cover in a position equivalent to the original position, and may not be horizontally closer to the secondary injectors than the original position. Refer to Diagram 5 in the Appendix.)


(C)氣體收集箱，要在凸輪蓋以及進氣箱之間。氣體收集箱只用做在收集引擎氣體，沒有其他目的(例如增壓)，只允許以及進氣孔只能安裝在凸輪蓋與氣體收集箱及進氣箱之間。收集箱以及連接處必需在檢查時容易看見(不能置於車殼內或其他部分)。

(A catch-tank may be fitted in the engine breather between the cam cover and airbox. The catch tank is solely for the purpose of collecting engine fluids, no other functions (such as pressure modification) are permitted and breather connections may only be directly between the cam cover, catch tank and airbox. The catch tank and connections must be visible for inspection at all times (that is, not permanently built into the chassis or other parts).)

總之...就我認知上來說,應該是車隊買的空氣清境系統中其中一個套件(過濾材質)不符合規定
但認為是跟官方供應商購買的整體套件，怎麼會不合規定...

應該大體上來說是這樣吧...
不過還是附上原文,如果認知有誤再請各位指證...!!!!

The team has stated that it felt it was within the regulations as it purchased the so-called Race Kit directly from HRC (official supplier), though IRTA has ruled it was not the standard air filter that usually comes with the Moto2 standard CBR600RR engine.

The team has accepted its penalty, though is calling on greater clarity within the rules, so that the team, and others on the grid, are 100% clear on what the regulations are. As part of this, it has suggested listing part’s numbers.

The sponge type air filter is designed to give improved airflow over the standard type into the engine, which could potentially boost performance.

The rules, as they are written now, state:

10) Airbox: Only the standard airbox supplied by the official Supplier (including air filter and secondary injectors) may be used. No modifications, alterations or additions to this airbox are allowed, except as described in Art. 2.5.3.6.11 below.

11) To ensure correct performance the official Supplier does not recommend any change to the airbox. However at the risk of the team, the following changes are allowed:

a) The intake ducts, ahead of the air filter, may be changed to suit individual chassis designs.

b) The resonance chambers and the top of the airbox (airbox lid) may be replaced or modified, provided that the total airbox volume, from the filter back, is no larger than the original. Refer to Diagram 4 in the Appendix.

If such a modified cover is fitted, the original air temperature sensor must be fitted on this cover in a position equivalent to the original position, and may not be horizontally closer to the secondary injectors than the original position. Refer to Diagram 5 in the Appendix.

c) A catch-tank may be fitted in the engine breather between the cam cover and airbox. The catch tank is solely for the purpose of collecting engine fluids, no other functions (such as pressure modification) are permitted and breather connections may only be directly between the cam cover, catch tank and airbox. The catch tank and connections must be visible for inspection at all times (that is, not permanently built into the chassis or other parts).

這跟台灣所說的玩文字遊戲一樣情況~像今年F1的紅牛在開幕賽~

得名次又上頒獎台~只因為油耗異常被取消得名資格~有類似到=.="
