Yes that did confuse me. It was almost as if they didn't care about anywhere else on the track, only T9 and T10.
I wouldn't take it personally if I was running an affected team but doubt it'll be entertained to be looked at again.

Who the poor guy that has to reapply the chalk every lap?Big Tea wrote: ↑02 Jul 2023, 22:07TBH, I think if FIA keep up the zero tolerance, it will be a non issue after the break., but other than that, what's wrong with the original tennis method of powdered chalk?
It would show up instantly as a blaze on the tyre and is completely harmless and costs hardly anything.
The problem is that the contact patch and the shadow cast by the tire are not the same.
IMo, the main issues is the FIA's strait up unwillingness to change anything safety wise until someone dies, or has a career ending accident. Halo, vsc, etc all because of Jules.vorticism wrote: ↑02 Jul 2023, 22:07That's true; and those are examples of grass leading to shunts, for sure. But that's also the point. Grass may cause a shunt, ideally not a bad one. That's where the asphalt instead of gravel/sand/more grass/uneven terrain comes in. Since the that's what seems to be causing the severe instances, not the grass per se.
So, Suzuka but optimized, you might say.
The chalk would only be on the contact patch
powdered chalk would need to be re-applied mid-race.Big Tea wrote: ↑02 Jul 2023, 22:07TBH, I think if FIA keep up the zero tolerance, it will be a non issue after the break., but other than that, what's wrong with the original tennis method of powdered chalk?

Monitoring track limits has nothing to do with safety. Racing is dangerous. Every circuit shouldn't look like Paul Ricard.dans79 wrote: ↑02 Jul 2023, 22:14IMo, the main issues is the FIA's strait up unwillingness to change anything safety wise until someone dies, or has a career ending accident.

As i've mentioned already track limits could be monitored in real time accurately, with tech you can find in kids toys.
I believe the limits are the tyre if you drew a box around it rather than the contact patch?
No, or at least not unless lots of drivers went on it. It can be put on 'wet' with linseed oil and it dries to a sort of bar that can give several 'dabs'. I am guessing but I thing 10 or more. It is sometimes used to check if a conveyer belt is scuffing.AR3-GP wrote: ↑02 Jul 2023, 22:14powdered chalk would need to be re-applied mid-race.Big Tea wrote: ↑02 Jul 2023, 22:07TBH, I think if FIA keep up the zero tolerance, it will be a non issue after the break., but other than that, what's wrong with the original tennis method of powdered chalk?

We just has "1200" potential offenses today . Eventually the width of the chalk line would be "spread" as cars run over it, not to mention having to reapply it where it was worn out. It seems very finnicky.Big Tea wrote: ↑02 Jul 2023, 22:17No, or at least not unless lots of drivers went on it.
