How judging works.

  • Judging philosophy and authority.
  • Qualifying evaluation and calibration.
  • Lead and chase driver standards.
  • Mistake severity, DNF and incomplete runs.
  • Restart, collision, and OMT decisions.

Keep decisions explainable.

Be consistent

Apply the same standard across qualifying and battle decisions.

Communicate cleanly

Decision communication should be direct and understandable to drivers.

Protect trust

Judging quality shapes the credibility of the series.

Explain the call

Drivers should understand why a decision was made.
