The IZOD IndyCar Series has announced that it would re-introduce the Push-to Pass button for all the remaining road courses still remaining on the 2012 calendar starting with the upcoming Honda Indy of Toronto.
The Push-to-Pass button was first used in the series back in 2009 and the device allows the driver to add turbocharger boost and additional rpm with the press of a button on the steering wheel in order to overtake a car.
Although, series’ officials did not talked about the specifics regarding its use on track but when it was first introduce in 2009, it allowed drivers 20 separate opportunities to use. The 12-second blast of power then required a 10-second recharge period.
The boost will not engage until a certain throttle position is reached and will disengage if the driver lifts or presses the button again.
Everyone one involved will have the opportunity to get acquainted and test the Push-to-Pass button during practices before the Honda Indy Toronto.
