Track Limits
Track deleted laps, black-and-white warnings and track-limit penalties by driver. Use the affected-driver view to keep routine timing separate from stewarding information.
Availability
Public live / Replay. Enable Track Limits, Driver List and Driver Positions. Updates follow available Race Control information during public live timing or replay.
Add the card
- Open your dashboard, select Edit dashboard, then Add card.
- Search for F1 and select the Track Limits card.
- Select Track Limits under Data Sources and confirm the driver sources. Leave Show all drivers off to show only drivers with recorded violations.
- Select Save.
If the card is missing from the picker, follow Card installation. With more than one F1 Sensor entry, use the sources from the same entry; see Entity selection.
Minimal YAML
Use this in a manual dashboard card. Replace any entity ID with the one in your installation if it differs.

Use the card
A deleted lap, a warning and a penalty are different events. The card presents the information received for each driver; use Race Control and FIA Documents for additional context.

When data is missing
An empty affected-driver list can mean that no track-limit violations have been reported. It does not imply the integration is disconnected. Check the Track Limits entity if messages are present in Race Control but the card remains empty.
For an Entity not found message, check the selection in Data Sources and confirm that the entity is enabled in F1 Sensor. For a missing card type or an old interface after an update, use the card loading checks.
