E/C 707. All cars will be called to an area designated pregrid (false grid) for the purpose of placing each car in its proper starting position. If the cars are unduly delayed in being called to the grid, drivers shall be given adequate warning as to when the race will begin.
All cars must be on pregrid by the 5 minute warning. Any car failing to arrive at pregrid
before the 5 minute warning shall lose its grid position and be placed at the back of the grid, unless said car competed in the race immediately
preceding. A car competing in back-to-back races will be allowed to grid in its qualified grid position any time up to the 1 minute warning,
after which time it must be placed at the back of the grid.
No engines may be running on pregrid between the 5 minute warning and the 1 minute warning, except for practice and qualifying.
At the 1 minute warning, all cars must start with their on-board starter (auxiliary power sources OK) on pregrid. Cars failing to start on their on-board starters or otherwise unready as the grid is cleared will be held in the pregrid
area until the field has cleared the pregrid area. These car(s) may then be push started, if necessary, and allowed to join the back of the field on the pace lap, provided said rejoining can be done safely.
If the grid is past the point where rejoining can be done safely, once the race has commenced and the grid is cleared the pit exit point, a push start will be allowed, if necessary, and the vehicle will start from the rear of the grid.
If the race does not commence after the first pace lap, the vehicle may be allowed to join the back of the field on the subsequent pace lap(s),
provided said rejoining can be done safely.
A car started at the back of the grid shall remain at the back of the grid during the pace lap(s) and shall not resume its original grid position. A car losing its grid position while on the opening pace lap (laps) may only re-enter at the back of the grid and may not regain its original grid position.
In the event a car loses its grid position on the opening pace lap(s), the grid line (left or
right) will advance forward assuming the open position.
I have not changed anything here. I copy/pasted it from the 2007 ICSCC Regs .pdf. I did, however, separate a very long regulation into what I considered to be proper paragraphs for an easier read.
There may be some thought put into this for modification for next season. (i.e. "If the grid is past the point where rejoining can be done safely, once the race has commenced and the grid is cleared the pit exit point," might be changed to "once the pace lap has commenced...")
Have fun with this, and I'll see what else I can find.
