I think the racing surface is being stretched to the point of absurdity.

I think the FIA rules are along the following lines, the racing surface is bounded by a white line and part of one tire must be in contact with the racing surface at all times, or the car is considered off track.

So you can have three wheels in the dirt as long as the 4th tire has one edge just in contact with the white line.

If, while in this condition, you suffer damage to part of the car I say tough luck.

In fact at many circuits you see cars going 4 wheels off with no penalty being applied.

What's the point of having a race track if you can drive wherever you want?
