Changes Of Driver - Change Procedures

In Simple Terms

Teams can change their driver before qualifying starts at regular races, but they need permission from the stewards first. The exact timing of when a driver change can happen depends on the specific race format being used.

• Driver changes are only permitted before qualifying begins at non-sprint races
• Stewards approval is mandatory before any driver change can be made
• Change timing varies depending on the competition format
• This rule does not apply during sprint race weekends
