New Rules for IPS

[macdaddy]

From SpeedTV:

Polesitters will now be awarded an extra championship point for their chart-topping efforts.

In the three road-course events scheduled for this year, the driver who leads practice will decide whether the qualification order proceeds from fastest to slowest driver or vice-versa. Road-course qualifying will mimic F1’s single-lap format of last year.

Pit road speed limit drops from 60 to 45mph, and only three crew members will be permitted over the wall during a pit stop - the only time anyone will be allowed over the pit wall. In addition, teams will no longer be permitted to add or remove fuel from their cars in the garage area.

Minor changes, but it shows they are thinking about things.

Pit stops in IPS are the exception rather than the norm.

yeah the races arent long enough , but a puncture or something like that can cause a pit stop.

compared to the big boys its sometimes amusing seeing pit stops in these kinds of classes , no one really knows whats going on half the time , it can really go wrong big time

MIPS will test the road course at Indy March 23-24.
