Ok, Monza's next, every one be warned, in season 3 I spent dozens of hours checking lap after lap for people cutting the track... let's not do that. This won't be another Nurb. if you go wide or cut a part of a track you must let off the gas for a while to try and loose the time gained by cutting. If you do this, you're fine. But if in the replay we catch you cutting more than three times without letting off the throttle afterward you're going to be penalized.
-----TRACK BOUNDARY IMAGES-----
Green checkmark = clean. Red x = dirty.
Turns 1 chicane. Stay on the red and white. Your angle of attack will be looked at closely.
Be very careful coming into T3 chicane Roggia. It's easy to get out of bounds in such a tight place. And yes we will utilize millimeter size tolerances when inspecting questionable lap replays, do not try to get fresh.
The black tar run off after turn 4 in the beginning of Lesmo is an easy place to have a sandwhich so staying clean is vital to keeping your lap going, not much science going on here and not much to gain from going off the red and white curbing - Cutting turn 5 will not be tolerated.
The run off in turn 5 can't be used for speed, as with T4's exit, so just stay on surface and you're fine - The more important part is your line back on track. You must get off the curbing before it ends and the green concrete keeps going. If you go back on track staying on the tar and crossing over the green concrete past the curbing your lap will be considered invalid. This goes for qualifying and during the race.
This is the proper line, though extremely close, in getting back on track after T5's exit.
This is Turn 7's first left kink curbing/green concrete pad and yes this is a bad lap. I was serious when I said millimeters - The partner image is a close shave, but definitely clean.
Now this is T7's right hand kink. Ascari is tough to get a good rhythm through, but if you're off like this, don't bother trying to save it. The second image is more tasteful and clean.
Ascari left kink exit.
Do not finish T7's exit by crossing the solid white line beyond the curbing - Join the track proper before the curb ends.
Turn 8/ Parabolica is impossible to cut to gain time so we won't worry about that, standard rules apply.
On to the pits:
Do not cut into the pits like this on entrance. You must take an intentional angle of attack when coming in out of the final turn. Stay inside the yellow line. We will hand out penalties for not doing so. If you're past the proper entrance and realize it when it's too late, it's better to just do another lap than receiving a penalty for pitting unappropriately.
On pit exit you must, again, stay within the yellow line. Then
stay within the extended pit exit line (solid white)
all the way until its completion at the 1st turn 100m marker. We will make sure you abide by this rule. It's to keep your acceleration zone away from those that may be coming in full speed into turn 1. Do this even if you're absolutely sure no one else is around on the straight.
Just stay to the right then after the pit line ends, and if the coast is clear, get on with the racing! You can almost feel that little pace car's happiness.
