Rule 7.2.5.1 now reads: At Road/Street Course Events – When displayed from the starter’s stand and ordered directly by Ind圜ar (command blue), directs a Lapped Car to immediately give way to the overtaking Car. Ind圜ar has taken the extraordinary step to give its race control team permission to remotely disable push-to-pass in situations where lapped drivers have, in past examples, used the 40hp boost to stay in front of those who are fighting for the lead. Failure to demonstrate caution based on any or all the above factors may be subject to penalty. Drivers must reduce speed substantially, be prepared to take evasive action, or stop, yield to safety vehicles and/or personnel, and safely interact with other Drivers to the satisfaction of Ind圜ar. Failure to demonstrate caution based on any or all the above factors may be subject to penalty.ī) Waved – A waved yellow flag means a hazard wholly or partially blocking the Track.

Any Driver passing through a Local Yellow Condition in Practice or Qualifying will have that lap time invalidated.Ĭontinuing the theme of cautions, Ind圜ar has doubled the verbiage previously used to describe hanging or waving yellow flags with Rule 7.2.2.1:Ī) Motionless - A motionless yellow flag means a hazard beside or near the edge of the Track or forewarning of a waved yellow flag ahead. Overtaking is not permitted between the first Yellow Condition and the subsequent Green Condition. It now reads: All Drivers shall demonstrate caution as defined by the criteria set forth in Rule 7.2.2.1. With a new electronic marshaling system that will be installed at each circuit, the series has newfound abilities to track the placement of its drivers as they reach, drive through, and exit the turns, and with more timing loops in place, race director Kyle Novak and his team can more accurately monitor when and how competitors adhere to yellow conditions.Īs such, one smart alteration has been made with the removal of an expectation for drivers to arrive to the scene of a yellow on road and street courses, look at their digital dashes to observe their current speed, then swiftly do math in their heads to conform to the former instruction to “reduce speed by a minimum of 15% (or greater if conditions warrant).” Under the updated Rule 7.1.3.2, the math problem has been removed and drivers no longer need to comply to a percentage-based speed reduction. The NTT Ind圜ar Series has made a modest number of updates to its 2022 rulebook, with some entries holding more impact on the racing than others.
