Exceeding track limits after the red flag…
Discussion
Whilst the driver investigates the situation he wants to remain anonymous. So here we go..
At a meet this weekend during a 14 lap race the following happened.
Driver ‘A’ led the race from laps 1-10 followed by driver ‘B’ in 2nd place, on lap 11 driver ‘B’ overtakes ‘A’ however during that lap driver ‘B’ exceeds track limits.
In a separate incident a driver crashes and the MSA throw a red flag, given the spent duration the MSA end the race and revert to the previous lap for finishing, normal….. however driver ‘B’ gets a 5sec time penalty for exceeding track limits in lap 11 now placing him P7
So the question is, If the MSA discount lap 11 and revert to lap 10 as the last lap for the finishing positions in that race can/should the MSA penalise driver ‘B’ for exceeding track limits in lap 11 that now doesn’t count, shouldn’t he be classified in P2 which was his place on lap 10 which is now the last recognised lap of the race..
