"Advantaged", by the way, also means lap times, so if someone was
blowing the chicane every lap to gain time they would be black flagged
or penalized. Also, the rules vary, but in most amateur racing if you
run two or four wheels off the racing circuit you might be warned once
and black flagged the next time. Blowing the chicane is running off
the racing circuit. The pro rules are a little different in wording
but identical in intent--it's okay to blow a chicane or run off the
racing surface as long as you don't gain advantage from it.
