All but one are a choice, but one you don’t want to make, or at least you heighten the risk if you go there by intent or accident.
One is arbitrary and artificial. |
And that's the thing. The best drivers can drive to those physical barriers lap after lap with few errors. Less abled drivers have to leave a margin of error. That's the point of racing, surely?

It's effectively cheating, knowing that you can use the artificial margin of error to achieve what you can't do on talent.
