Track limits to be monitored electronically

The FIA have confirmed that they will monitor track limits electronically this weekend in a bid to crack down on drivers gaining an advantage by going off the track.

Track limits were a hot topic at the last race in Great Britain, so to combat the issue the feature will be installed at the newly-repaved Hungaroring throughout the weekend.

In addition, the pit entry has also been altered, and new kerbs have been installed, including double kerbs at turns 4 and 11.

"As the run-off areas behind the kerbs have been set at the same height as the kerbs themselves, the required deterrent is therefore not present," said FIA Race Director Charlie Whiting.

"With this in mind we have installed loops 1.6 metres from the track edge which will alert us when a car has all four wheels off the track in these two locations."
