start finish line

8 Episode Mentions

Too Afraid to Ask

The start/finish line is where the race timing starts and where the cars cross at the start and end. If there’s a corner right after it, drivers have to fight for position immediately.

Technical Definition

The start/finish line is the official line where the race timing is measured and where the grid starts. The hosts mention a corner just off it because that affects how quickly drivers are forced into braking and positioning right after the start.
