After the debacle of the Austrian track limits and time penalties.
It may not be relevant to the driver who can't seem much from the cockpit anyway, but given the track limit is defined as the white line.... why are kerbs usually white and another colour?
Why not 2 colours other than white so that the white line it clearly defined around the circuit and beyond them the kerbs are also clearly defined.
Surely this would also help the adjudication or marginal calls where the tyre is possibly across the white line onto the white section of kerb.
I'm guessing it may also be easier for TV direction, and the paying punter to visually see some of these transgressions as well.
I realise there is nationalistic colouring and perhaps sponsorships considerations at some circuits, but given the expanse of run off Flags and Logos can be painted there.
