looks like the same except with no more jumping through gates and floating a tire over a gate


7.3.4 -
If a wheel floats above a gate marker, the driver must correct it before that gate is deemed clear
and progress is awarded. If the driver fails to correct the position of the tire, such that it is not located
above the gate marker, and continues to clear the gate, a gate penalty will be assessed at that time in
addition to the gate progress. All 4 tires must go between the gate markers to not receive a gate penalty.

But above that... it says opisite...


o 7.2.5.2 - Example 2: If one wheel from the front axle and one wheel from the rear axle passes
between two gate markers (vehicle straddles a gate), that gate is considered a cleared gate. This
however will result in a Gate Marker penalty of 10 points and a gate progress bonus is awarded.



Only thing I see is that in one 4 wheels are on the ground, and the other not all 4 wheels are on the ground.

The result is the same, 10 pt penalty + -1 progress......

ok thanks

Okay. So 2 tires threw the gate (one front and one rear) will clear the gate... but 10pts for the gate plus -1 progress.(Nothing new) In order not to get any gate pts, all four wheels must clear the gate! This newly add 7.3.4 just seems to be for clarity for clearing gates?
