Wiring harnesses and any additional electronic hardware is free and can be chosen by the team or the chassis manufacturer. This for example includes telemetry solutions, power steering and rear view cameras.
The Cosworth supplied systems are highly configurable and can therefore be adapted to communicate with a wide variety of additional hardware where permitted.
