Article 26.4
Track Limits
Chapter: Chapter II - General Undertaking
In Simple Terms
Track limits define where you can legally drive. The white lines are the track boundary. If all four wheels go beyond the white line, that's exceeding track limits. Repeated violations lead to warnings, then time penalties. Lap times set while exceeding limits may be deleted.
- White lines define track boundaries
- All four wheels beyond = track limits exceeded
- Violations result in lap time deletion or penalties
- Three warnings then penalty system
Official FIA Text
Drivers must make every reasonable effort to use the track at all times. For the avoidance of doubt, the white lines defining the track edges are considered part of the track but the kerbs are not. A driver will be judged to have left the track if no part of the car remains in contact with the track.
