For the upcoming event at Iowa Speedway, the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series will be implementing a new restart procedure. This will apply exclusively to the Heat/Feature format event at Iowa.
The new procedure aims to maximize racing time and minimize periods under caution. Heat races will still remain caution free.
The rule is as follows:
Restart Procedure for Short Track Races with Heat Format –
- Initial Start: Begin with a double-file restart.
- First Lap Caution: If a caution occurs within the first lap after a restart(Not the initial start), switch to a single-file restart immediately.
- Caution-Free Laps: Once drivers complete 5 consecutive laps without a caution after a restart, the restart type will revert to double-file.
- Repeat Process: Continue this process for the remainder of the event
- Green-White-Checkered: All GWC restarts will be double file
