Series 15 CRG Additions

  • S15 will include live Race Control, assessment of penalties, and the IRR process.

Drop Race

  • Each driver is allowed one drop race—their lowest scoring race or a race they did not attend.
  • The dropped race is the one that contributes the fewest points to your season total.
  • A disqualification (DQ) for any reason cannot count as that drop race.
  • The specific race designated as a drop for a driver’s final series points will also be the one used when calculating the Clean Driver Standings.

Starting Line

  • No passing before the starting line rule.

Tie-Breakers

  • In the event of a tie (two or more races having the same lowest point score), the tie is broken using the iRacing Tie-Breaker rules.
  • The race that is ultimately dropped is the one with the lowest value in the iRacing tie-breaker metric.

Penalties

  • Unless a Race Control penalty is called or iRacing applies a penalty, no penalties will be issued until the 25-point disqualification.

Qualification

  • Qualifying scrutiny: Strict.
  • A disqualification (DQ) for any reason will result in no points for the event.

Rolling Starts

  • Rolling starts for all classes and venues.
