The FIA has made significant changes to track limits at the Red Bull Ring following last year’s Austrian Grand Prix, where post-race penalties were issued to eight drivers due to track limits infringements.The introduction of 2.5-meter wide gravel traps at Turns 9 and 10, and a narrower exit curb at Turn 4 aim to deter drivers from gaining an advantage by running off track.Additionally, the use of AI technology, marked by blue lines painted at various corners, will help identify track limit violations in real-time and streamline incident reporting to race control.Race officials will have support from the FIA’s Remote Operations Center in Geneva to ensure a smoother adjudication process during this weekend’s Sprint event in Austria.These measures are expected to enhance race control efficiency and minimize delays in determining race results caused by track limit violations.
