Car Must Complete Reconnaissance Lap Under Own Power

In Simple Terms

Before the race starts, each car must complete a practice lap on the track under its own power and make it to the starting grid without being towed or pushed. If a car can't do this, it won't be allowed to start the race from the grid.

• Cars must complete a reconnaissance lap independently without mechanical assistance
• The car must reach the grid under its own power to be eligible for race start
• Failure to complete this requirement results in being barred from the grid start
• This ensures all cars are mechanically fit and ready before the race begins
