🏁Motorsport

Motorsport covers speed competitions in which drivers race purpose-built cars, mainly on circuits. The aim is to cover the race distance — a set number of laps — as fast as possible and cross the finish line first. The discipline is governed worldwide by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).

Cross the finish line in first place after completing the set number of laps, managing speed, tyres, fuel and pit stops.

• •A race is run over a number of laps set in advance (or a fixed duration).
• •The first to cross the finish line after the last lap wins.
• •The starting grid is set by qualifying (the fastest starts on pole position).
• •Flags communicate instructions: chequered (finish), yellow (danger), red (stop), blue (let a faster car by).
• •Pit stops are used to change tyres or refuel.
• •Infringements are punished with time or position penalties.
