MAINTENANCE 6.2 NO spray oils/lubricants or cleaners to be used indoors. Use of Lighter fluid or any form of tyre treatments are not allowed. The organisers reserve the right to request competitors to use less lubricants if they feel it interferes with others or the condition of the track.
Format 1 Qualifying via 3 minute (unless race control specifies otherwise) heats on all lanes. Lowest score dropped, fastest qualifier is the driver with the highest number of laps from their best three scores combined. Fastest three drivers automatically qualify for the A final, next three for the B and so on. Finals start with the slowest final, the winner of each final 'steps up' to the empty lane in the next final. Format 2 Qualifying via 30 second individual sessions. Drivers without points in the F1 championship qualify first, in reverse alphabetical order. Then the driver with the lowest points goes next with the championship leader qualifying last. Drivers will then be grouped according to their qualifying position, and will race in that group four times, once on each lane for 3.5 minutes (unless race control specifies otherwise). Worst scores will be dropped, overall positions decided on total of best three scores irrespective of group. Format 3 Qualifying via 30 second or 5 lap individual sessions. The driver with the most laps gets pole and first choice of final and lane, the second fastest driver chooses second, having the option to pick a free lane in the B final or lower if his/her preferred lane in the A final has gone. The third fastest picks third, and so on. Positions are determined from most laps in any final. At meetings where races can be paused, such as those not using Tomy timing stations, the host club have the option to use 'track calls'. These will only be used: If a car ends up in another lane (Anybody may call these). If the track has a severe break (Anybody may call these). If a driver feels their lane is noticeably down on power (driver in question only, loss of best heat score or 10 laps deducted from final score for misuse). Where there is a blind spot, and the adjacent marshals feel they may not retrieve a de-slot car that is blocking a lane before the car in that lane comes through (Marshals only). Currently, track calls may not be used for hard to reach cars or cars going on the floor. Drivers are encouraged to refrain from making track calls as much as possible, as their judgement may be impaired. Race control may make a track call judgement at any time.
