We have published a Rules FAQ on EV 5.8.5 - EV 5.8.7 and EV 5.8.14 to help answer some of the questions we have received about this rules change at https://fsg.one/rules_faq. This adds to what has been said in the Technical Inspection talk during the FSG Academy at ZEISS. You can find the slides and recording of that at https://fsg.one/20251025 after log-in.

If the clarified wording in FS Rules 2026 v1.1 regarding temperature sensor placement causes serious issues for parts of your accumulator you have already manufactured or purchased, please open a Rules Question at https://fsg.one/rq and we are going to try to find a good solution together with you.

We are aware that other European competitions are allowing the 2025 v1.1 version of the rules as an alternative option, however, we are sticking to the published FS Rules 2026 v1.1. These also include other changes in EV 5.8 that were made to increase safety and fairness and that were already part of version 1.0.
