In F1 the telemetry makes it easy to know if a car is past the limit. I just wish they were consistent.

When I was running on Roebling Road track near Savannah, GA the track if dead flat, and lots of sweepers and one straight. My instructor for that track kept telling me to run over the curbs and rumble strips and use more track. I explained to him this is a street car, and tomorrow I will load it up with luggage and my wife to drive it home to Oklahoma. I have no intention of abusing the suspension to gain half a second when the lap is not even timed. No doubt, going over the limits can be faster or the drivers would not do it. But why have white lines for the track limit if they can just go where they want. Cutting a corner would be faster yet. Where is the limit?
