IndyCar, the sanctioning body of the IZOD IndyCar Series, has modified the activation delay to the overtake assist for the Grand Prix of Baltimore this weekend to zero seconds.
Push-to-pass has been utilized at Toronto and Edmonton with an activation delay of 5 seconds introduced at Mid-Ohio on August 5. It was reduced to 3.5 seconds for the Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma on August 26.
"We've had two races without the activation delay and two races with it,” IndyCar Director of Engine Development Trevor Knowles said. "Based on driver feedback, we're adjusting the parameters of push-to-pass to fit this particular circuit.”
A total of 90 seconds of boost will be afforded drivers, with a maximum of 20 seconds per activation on the 2-mile temporary street circuit. There's no recharge time between activations.
