kokonaiskierrosten

Kokonaiskierrosten is a Finnish term that translates to "total laps" or "overall laps" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of competitive sports, particularly racing events such as motorsport, cycling, and running. The term refers to the cumulative number of laps completed by a participant or a team throughout the entirety of a race or competition.

In racing, knowing the kokonaiskierrosten is crucial for determining the winner. The participant who has completed the highest number of laps at the end of the designated race duration is typically declared the victor. In endurance races, where the goal is to cover the greatest distance within a set time, the kokonaiskierrosten directly correlates to the distance covered.

The concept of kokonaiskierrosten also applies to team-based events. For instance, in a relay race, the total laps completed by all members of a team would be considered their kokonaiskierrosten. In some motorsports, like 24-hour races, the kokonaiskierrosten is the primary metric for ranking all competitors. Understanding this term is fundamental to comprehending the scoring and outcome of many racing disciplines.
