pace notes
Driver's road script
Pace notes are detailed written instructions that rally racing co-drivers read aloud to drivers during competition, describing upcoming turns, hazards, and road conditions.
They use shorthand notation for corner severity, distances, and surface changes, allowing drivers to anticipate what's ahead at high speeds on unfamiliar roads.
Teams typically create their own pace notes during pre-race reconnaissance runs.
The co-driver called out the pace notes as they approached the hairpin.
