pacenote

A pacenote is a term used in motorsports, particularly in rallying, to describe a brief, concise instruction given to a driver by a co-driver or navigator. The purpose of a pacenote is to guide the driver through a specific section of the course, providing information about the terrain, obstacles, and any special instructions needed to navigate the section safely and efficiently. Pacenotes are typically written in a standardized format and are designed to be easily understood and acted upon by the driver in real-time. They may include details such as the type of surface, any hazards to watch out for, and any specific maneuvers required to complete the section. Pacenotes are an essential tool for rally drivers, as they allow the driver and co-driver to work together effectively and efficiently, minimizing the risk of errors and maximizing the chances of a successful run.
