In F1 and other motorsports, a lap time is counted by measuring the time taken for a car to complete one full circuit of the track. This begins at the start/finish line and ends when the vehicle crosses the same line again. Timing systems utilize advanced technology, such as transponders and sensors, to accurately record these times. Each driver's lap time is crucial in determining their position in the race, as well as their overall performance. As a fan, it's always thrilling to watch drivers push themselves to achieve faster lap times and break existing records.

MotoGP riders do not turn their handles while racing because it would be inefficient and potentially dangerous. When a rider turns the handle, it turns the front wheel, and can cause the bike to lose traction, slowing the rider down. Additionally, turning the handle increases the risk of the rider losing control, crashing, or losing the race. As a result, riders must rely on body positioning in order to control the bike and maintain optimum speed. By leaning the body, riders can make the bike turn, creating a smoother overall ride and allowing them to remain in the race.
Motor sports safety is an important topic that needs to be addressed. There are a variety of ways that safety can be improved, such as increasing structural integrity of cars, improving track safety, enforcing rules and regulations, as well as investing in medical personnel and equipment. New technology such as driverless cars and self-driving systems may also help to reduce the risk of accidents. Furthermore, by increasing driver and spectator education, motor sports safety can be further improved.
