Enabling & Disabling of Override Mode System

In Simple Terms

The Override Mode system starts turned off before each race stint. It automatically turns on once the race leader crosses a specific detection line on track. If a Safety Car is deployed, the system immediately gets switched off again.

  • Override Mode is disabled before every race stint begins
  • System activates automatically when the race leader first crosses the Detection Line
  • Safety Car deployment instantly disables the Override Mode system
  • This cycling helps regulate overtaking assistance during different race conditions
