FLAGS, PITS AND PADDOCK

Drivers must ensure that they are familiar with the 2025 CASC OR Road Race Regulations

<www.casc.on.ca/roadracing_rules> for Flagging (Appendix ‘H’) and Pits and Paddock (Appendix ‘G’) and demonstrate that knowledge upon request by a Steward.

The exception is that passing is not allowed between the Yellow Flag Station displaying it and the incident – passing is subsequently only allowed when adjacent to the next green Flag Station.

Pit Lane speed is 60 kph; Speed in the paddock is 15 kph

ANY transfer of fuel must include a separate designated person whose sole function shall be to oversee the refueling process while holding an appropriate and armed fire extinguisher. Refueling shall not be performed under an awning or where fumes could accumulate.

QUALIFYING

The lap times recorded in the Practice/Qualifying session will determine the starting grid position of the car.

GRIDDING

The False Grid closing time will be shown on the schedule - cars presenting after that time will be gridded at the rear of their class in the order of their arrival as time permits.

All cars will be gridded in order of their Qualifying time or as otherwise determined by the Race Officials.

Any car that has not qualified shall be placed at the back of their respective class.

If the grid has been released to the splitter, any late arrivals will be held at Pit Out and released behind the pack at the start.

Cars will be gridded in, and released from, the False Grid in single file and, once released, a driver may not alter or attempt to improve their grid position. A Race Official may be ‘splitting’, or pointing, the cars to either the right or left for the start.

STARTS, RESTARTS AND RACE STOPPAGES

All starts will be rolling starts.

The Pace Car (PC) will typically be dispatched by Race Control at 30 kph until the full field is behind and then accelerate to 95 kph between Turn 2 and Turn 3. It will maintain that speed except in Turn 8 and Turn 12 taken at 55 kph. The PC will turn out its

lights at Turn 15 and will reduce speed to 40 kph at Turn 16 to allow the field to be packed and paired up as the PC enters Pit

Lane.

All cars will maintain Pace Car speed with no passing or acceleration until the display of the Green Flag by the Starter.

A waved White Flag or ‘Last Lap’ board may be displayed - from the Start Stand only - to show the last lap.

The Race will end when the Checkered Flag is displayed regardless of the actual time run or laps completed.

Should a race be stopped due to a Red Flag and can be restarted, cars will be re-gridded in the order in which the cars passed the Start/Finish line behind the Leader’s last completed lap.

Should an emergency race stoppage be required, a black flag will be shown at all corners. Drivers are to slow to pace car slow speed (60 kph) and return to pit lane to await instructions. Should an on-track incident require emergency response, a red flag will be shown at all corners. Drivers are to pull over to the side of the track at the nearest flag station and shut the vehicle off and await instructions. Due to issues with restarting hot race car engines, red flag stoppages will be used only when necessary.

FULL COURSE YELLOW

When a ‘Full Course Yellow’ is called by Race Control during a Race, the Starter and all corners will display Steady Double Yellow Flags. All cars will reduce their speed to Pace Car speed (approximately 85 kph) and maintain their relative positions to each other.

The Pace Car may then be dispatched and attempt to pick up the Leader – cars behind the Leader will catch up to the pack when it is safe to do so and as directed by the Corner Flaggers through hand signals.

When the condition calls for a return to racing, Race Control will advise the corners to drop to a single Steady Yellow Flag, the Pace Car lights will be extinguished and it will enter Pit Lane. The Leader will maintain Pace Car speed until the Starter displays a Waved Green Flag indicating that racing around the circuit has commenced and that normal passing procedures are in effect. All flags will be dropped upon the display of the Green Flag by the Starter.

SCORING

The Start/Finish Line applies to the race track and the pit lane.

Finishing positions will be determined according to the number of laps completed regardless of whether the car is running at the finish. Cars completing the same number of laps will be ranked according to the order in which they cross the finish line after

the checkered flag is displayed. Cars must complete 60% of their class winner’s completed laps to be classed as a finisher in

each race and overall.

Any breakout times will result in reclassification after 2 breakout laps.

ON TRACK PROTOCOL

NO CONTACT is permitted. ALL Drivers involved in an incident that results in car to car contact will result in severe sanctions including, EXCLUSION unless the Driver is determined not to have any responsibility in the incident. In addition, the Stewards may apply further sanctions up to and including EXCLUSION from future Series events. In any case, a Driver involved in any incident involving car to car contact at a subsequent event within a 13 calendar month period after the first incident, may result in further sanctions - including an up to ONE YEAR SUSPENSION from participation in any Calabogie Challenge Series Events.

BLOCKING is not permitted and is defined as: ‘Taking an abnormal or unusual line to inhibit or prevent passing’. It also includes ‘Moving in Reaction’.

UNJUSTIFIABLE RISK: Any participant at an event who, in the sole opinion of the Event Steward, engages in any behaviour deemed to represent an unjustifiable risk or reckless endangerment may be warned or penalized and any action or decision taken by the Steward in this regard is not subject to protest or appeal.
