The 107% rule is a sporting regulation affecting Formula One racing qualifying sessions.During the first phase of qualifying, if the circuit is dry, any driver who is eliminated in the first qualifying session and fails to set a lap within 107% of the fastest time in that session will not be allowed to start the race without permission from the race stewards.
Sometimes an additional term is written next to the time (such as Hot). This indicates that The Stig and the Top Gear team consider that the prevalent weather conditions have affected the lap time or car's performance. The time on the board is not changed: e.g. 1:50 MM (Mildly Moist) is deemed to be equivalent to 1:48 on a normal dry track.
To do this, the runner must run the same split for every lap (or other distance considered a split) to hit the time. [7] For example, if a runner wants to finish a 1600-meter race in 4:40, on a 400-meter track, the runner would have to hit 70 seconds a lap, with each lap counting as a split to achieve this goal.

From 1950 to 1959, the top five finishers of each race plus the fastest lap setter tallied points. The format was expanded to include the first six finishers of each event between 1960 and 2002 but with no point for fastest lap. [21] In 2003, the FIA revised the structure to the top eight finishers of each race. [22]
Since records have been kept, the fastest lap has been achieved by the leader on the final lap of the race on one occasion (Bobby Rahal, 1986). It has never been accomplished on the first lap of the race. It is commonly done by a driver not leading the race at the time, due to drafting.
The track is 4.940 km (3.070 mi) [5] long in a harbourside location similar in style to the Circuit de Monaco and the Valencia Street Circuit. The circuit was designed by KBR , [ 6 ] and is a modification of the original one first proposed by Hermann Tilke . [ 6 ]
