* Non PONA are components not meeting definitions in 19.2 and 19.4.4
For the purposes of this table, a gas chromatographic technique must be employed which can classify
hydrocarbons in the total fuel sample such that all those identified are allocated to the appropriate cell of
the table. Compounds present at concentrations below 0.1% by mass may be deemed unassigned, except
that it is the responsibility of the fuel approval laboratory to ensure that components representing at least
95% by mass of the total fuel are assigned. The sum of the non PONA and unassigned hydrocarbons must
not exceed 5% by mass of the total fuel sample.
For 2006 and 2007 only, the FIA reserves the right to allow any team to use an engine complying with the
2005 engine regulations, provided its maximum crankshaft rotational speed does not exceed a limit fixed
from time to time by the FIA so as to ensure that such an engine will only be used by a team which does
not have access to a competitive 2.4 litre V8 engine.
