Some temporary street courses are offered in larger cities. IndyCar Series racers have even raced at Formula 1 racetracks.
The rules of the IndyCar Series have changed over time. The league required manufacturers to obtain approval before building their own race car. This was in effect starting with the 2003 season. Before this change, however, anyone could build a car provided they followed certain rules. This allowed various manufacturers, such as Honda, Chevrolet, or Lotus, to take part.
The rules of IndyCar Series are different for each championship. The rules for the VerizoIndyCar Series require licensed drivers to challenge drivers with registered cars in order to earn points. Throughout the race, each car's license number must clearly be displayed. The driver who starts the race earns points. The relief driver does not get points.
