Race Procedures
As a preface to this section, there is no live Race Control issuing penalties, so all drivers are on the honor system to properly follow race procedures and avoid causing incidents.
Pace Lap
- A short pace lap will be used if iRacing permits it on the event track.
- Do not weave around, hard brake, hard accelerate or lag back to get a “run” on the field on the pace lap.
- Avoid making contact with another competitor on the pace lap.
Race Starts
- All 2025 Summer Tour starts will be rolling.
- Drivers should maintain pace car speed until the green.
- Races start when iRacing shows the green flag / green lights.
- There are no League restrictions on passing once the race has started.
- Drivers must stay in their lane. No passing until they cross the start-finish line.
Passing
- The overtaking driver is responsible for completing a clean, safe pass.
- An overtaking driver, whether passing to the inside or outside; must have their front axle ahead of the rear axle of the leading car to be recognized as “having position”.
- An overtaking driver who does not have the position to make the pass will be deemed responsible for an incident if any arises out of the move.
Full Course Yellow (FCY)
There will be no full course yellows (FCY) in the 2025 Summer Tour.
Incidents & Penalties
- When reaching 25x incident points, the driver will be disqualified automatically.
- All iRacing AI-applied penalties must be served.
- Penalties issued by iRacing AI will not be reversed under any circumstances.
- Avoid divebombs, unsafe rejoins, not holding brakes when losing control, or failing to slow down for significant incidents ahead.
- While not mandatory if you cause an incident, i.e. contact with another car causing it to be turned, spun, or damaged, the sportsman thing to do is to give position back to the car you made contact with.
Penalty License & LPPs
There are no Penalty Licenses or LPPs for the 2025 Summer Tour.
