Doesn't seem to be an issue in other classes of racing that I watch. Particularly F1. Hell, even the MotoGPs in the weekend were doing a bit of "kerb hopping" (albeit it can be a recipe for disaster...)
Perhaps it's yet another rule with which to ping drivers and teams with - like that ridiculous one at Can'tberra where exiting pit lane, one or two drivers had their wheel ON the line, not over it, and were pinged.
