NO NEW RAIN LIGHT PLEASE
#34859 from Thomas Galuardi · Not recommended · Minutes (2023-11 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. There has been much discussion and consideration put into the rain light rule for F/SR to be
implemented on 1/1/2024. Please see the response to letter #34719 in the current Fastrack. Please note that if you and your
corner marshal partners were viewing from slightly above or to the side, perhaps you had a different vantage than that of the
competitors, who are roughly at eye level with the rain lights of the cars ahead and being directly behind would be looking
through their full water plumes. The committee reviewed numerous in-car videos during rain races leading up to this decision
and had input from competitors as well. The committee noted that cars close behind, but slightly off to the side, often have a
clearer view of the rain light than did the competitors directly behind.
