Hey all, Have a little problem with a couple of guys at the site in regards to our LimeRock race this sunday. Seems they feel going over the yellow line in the pic i`ve put here, is illegal. I`ve never raced any series/mod where that was considered the case. Can`t seem to find any reliable LimeRock pics or info to find if the actual track has the same line even, and or if it`s deemed illegal to cross. Anyone know one way or the other? Thanks for any help. Crash...   |

Hey Crash, I dont think any pic of the real track would be of any help since it has gone under heavy revampings over the years. In cases like this I tend to think as anything that is not grass as part of the track, including the extended rumble strips - which seem to be what you're talking about (I cant see pics here at work, well, shouldnt). Paved runoff areas are a different matter and shouldnt be used to cut, like the one in Melbourne for example. Heck, been offline for months and still can remember every single corner of 90% of heat tracks lol, I think I'll go back to race with you guys when I get a connection back  |

heck, in that part of the county, they have to repave all the time because of the frost heaves which make the track very rough. the real track does not have a painted line but instead a pavement transistion (slight downslope all the way down to the Rail) and the rail is closer! i think use the extra pavement at your own risk (The Rail) and don't make anyone have to study to replays over and over. video.google.com/videosearch?q=lime+rock+park&sitesearch=# |

This is simple.
If it isn't allowed then the track loose his best corner.
Allow it and don't worry,it is something like au Rouge at Francorchamps.You need big balls and a lot of luck because the wall is getting really close.The best driver will win the race here.

my 2c....
on new Hockenheim there's some alike area - and I've not seen even a single driver who had NOT crossed the line.
Like mentioned above already: if it's tarmac, it's track ;D
