Because its a joke... basically, its contradictory of its own self.... rule is as follows
Drivers must use the track at all times and may not leave the track without a justifiable reason. For the avoidance of doubt:
(a) The white lines defining the track edges are considered to be part of the track.
(b) A driver will be judged to have left the track if any wheel of the car either goes beyond the outer edge of any kerb or goes beyond the white line where there is no kerb.
in other words .... "we actually have bowed to preasuure from bad drivers who need to cheat using more track than actually there"
So HOW THE *** can those white lines be called the "track edges" if they are not the track edges!!!!!
What is the purpose of the Kerb Simon? if there was a solid concrete wall going round that track, would you feel the need to cross that line? no, you wouldnt, you would have to lift , you would have to slow down or take a different line, why, because otherwise you will crash. but because there isnt one, we suddenly say you can use the kerb as well....
But here is the point I keep making... when you race, with ANY organiser, you "sign on" with them, and that means you accept THEIR rules, and if they (within the track licence) say that you will be judged to have left the track if you use the kerb in this event"... then that is the rule and so long as its at the briefing... you will have heard it and you will either adhere to it, or face judicial and before people say "you cant do that"" and we should all race with the same rules, we dont, its what I keep saying ...
