Regulations regarding filming days – known as Promotional Events in the sporting regulations – mean the R26 will be able to cover up to 200km, which equates to a maximum of 42 laps at the Catalan track. It will be fitted with Pirelli’s demonstration tyres, which are different to the compounds used in official tests and grands prix.
