You flip the plates depending on if you have a bike or car race. No need to store them anywhere, no need for an optical track limit system with penalties. If you go outside the wide line the track will punish you automatically.
Surely the concern with such plates would be that they get lifted by the suction effect of the cars. We have seen drain covers etc, being pulled up that were supposedly welded down.
