Lap Counting During VSC

In Simple Terms

When a Virtual Safety Car (VSC) is being used during a race, every lap that drivers complete still counts as a full lap toward the race distance. This means the race won't be shortened just because safety conditions require slower speeds.

• Laps completed under VSC conditions are counted normally
• VSC does not affect the total number of laps required to finish the race
• Applies specifically during TTCS (Time Trial Closest to Sector) procedures
• Ensures fair race distance for all competitors regardless of safety conditions
