Track limit
트랙 리미트
The track limits define the boundaries within which a race car is permitted to drive. A violation is considered to have occurred when all four wheels of the car completely cross the outer white line. If a car exceeds track limits, the lap time may be deleted or penalties may be imposed, depending on the situation.
🏆 Race Case Study
A Qualifying Lap Deleted for Track Limits
Even if a driver sets a fast qualifying lap, the time can be deleted if track limits were exceeded during that lap. A small mistake can therefore affect whether the driver advances to the next qualifying session or where they start on the grid.

How are track limits judged?
They are generally judged using the white lines that define the edge of the track to determine whether the car has left the circuit under the regulations.
Does crossing the track limits result in an immediate penalty?
It depends on the situation. Repeated infringements or gaining a clear advantage can lead to warnings, deleted lap times or time penalties.
