TIME TRIALS | RULES 

The following rules will be observed for Time Trials on May 7th:

- Time Trials will be initially scheduled in order of car number.

- The tentative May 7th schedule (seen below) will have qualifying runs divided into 5-minute increments.

- If a driver cannot make their scheduled time slot, a swap can be negotiated with another driver and submitted to the admins up to 24 hours before Time Trials begin. The schedule will then be updated accordingly.

- 24 hours before Time Trials begin, any gaps in the qualifying schedule will be closed up; consequently, some cars may have their scheduled time adjusted to an earlier slot; it is the driver's responsibility to be aware of what their car's final time slot is on May 7th.

- Each car will be allowed a maximum of three qualifying attempts. HOWEVER, this is not a guarantee that there will be enough time in the session for one car to make three attempts.

- In the case of an accident, blown engine or wave-off, the car in question will be charged one attempt, moved to the end of the line, and the next car scheduled will attempt to qualify. In the case of a late arrival or no-show, the car in question will be moved to the end of the line, but will not be charged one attempt.

- If a driver crashes or blows their engine in the pit lane, they have one more chance to leave the pits successfully. If a crash or blown engine occurs in the pit lane again, the car will be charged one attempt and moved to the end of the line.

- During Time Trials, the server will be closed so drivers can complete their runs undisturbed. At the top of each hour, a 5-minute window will allow people to come and go from the server, and then Time Trials will resume.

- A qualifying run will consist of one warm up lap, followed by four timed laps.

- The total time of the four timed laps will be each car's qualifying time, which will then be converted to MPH for their qualifying speed.

- During the Time Trial session, drivers may proceed to the track only when called on by the admin(s).

- Absolutely NO chatting is allowed while a qualifying run is underway.

- Per Indy tradition, since it is technically the car that qualifies for the race, a different driver can start a qualified car on race day -- the catch is that they must start the race in last place (assuming the car is not bumped during Time Trials). The driver qualifying said car cannot have already qualified for the race with another car.

- A driver may wave off their attempt before completing it if they feel it is too slow. One attempt will be charged to the car.

- Once a run has been completed that is fast enough to be 33rd or better, that is the car's qualifying time and speed unless, and until it is bumped from the 33 car grid.

- At 23h30 Paris time, if a driver is in the middle of a qualifying run, they will be allowed to complete the run.
