Carry the driver display, the switches the driver needs while stationary or driving, and the brake bias adjuster, within the driver's sightline.
A panel across the front of the cockpit holding the Bosch DDU11 display, the brake bias knob, engine run switch, ignition button, e-stop and fan switch. On CR25 and CR26I it hangs from a dash sling.
Fully carbon with cutouts for the display and switches, positioned in the same location as the previous car. The stated value is a secure and accessible location for display and switches, plus aesthetics, improved nose fitment and repackaged switches.
Must be readable without obstructing the driver's line of sight to the track. Non-reflective finishes to avoid glare. The DDU11 must be visible past the steering wheel rim, which is why the CR26I wheel has an acrylic cutout. Front roll hoop position was moved rearward on CR26I to accommodate the DDU-11.
Waterjet from sheet, or laid up on a milled or 3D printed mold. From the design reports and one-pagers: CR22 logged time from the CR25 dash one-pager: sand the mould across roughly one day on and off, layup 10 hours, post-process 10 hours. Materials were largely free or recycled: foam board free, carbon free, switches recycled.
CFRP panel.
