In what could be the biggest \u2018what the f\u2019 moment in modern racing, one lost Tesla driver caused a red flag by somehow bypassing security and driving onto the track head-on with the oncoming motorbikes. <\/p>\n

In a week where elite-level motorsport has been under scrutiny for anomaly on-track invasions, racing faced another close call.<\/p>\n

Formula 1\u2019s Liam Lawson was just left in disbelief as two field marshals ran across the track mid-race, leaving an investigation to be launched about the safety of everyone involved.<\/p>\n

Now, a week later, an active Tesla has somehow rolled onto a live motorcycle track, and even the commentator was left outrageously baffled.<\/p>\n

Motorbike racing commentator loses it as Tesla ends up driving towards traffic mid-race<\/p>\n

Reliance on modern GPS systems<\/a> has led to some drivers getting more than lost, especially when re-routing through parts of the California desert<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But this one Tesla driver might be the most lost anyone has ever been, as they ended up driving towards motorbikes at the fifth round of AFM\u2019s motorcycle racing season in Buttonwillow, Kern County.<\/p>\n

The red Tesla appeared to have maneuvered around the barriers and seemingly surrounding stewards to find itself on the track.<\/p>\n

Everyone was flabbergasted. None more than the commentator.<\/p>\n

\u201cA car! A Car! Someone has driven a car on the track!\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the red flag \u2013 an indication to all drivers to slow down for serious obstructions \u2013 was waved and recognized by the racers before the Tesla entered their proximity.<\/p>\n

\"One<\/a>AFM<\/p>\n

Racing had all but come to a stop by the time the motorbikes reached the area of the circuit where the Tesla was, meaning no one was harmed. But it could have been very different if the lap times were 30 seconds ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been watching motorcycle racing for 23 years, and I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m looking at.\u201d<\/p>\n

The commentator even claimed that the Tesla might have been looking for a nearby public Supercharger, whether manually or through FSD, although this couldn\u2019t be confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a world of what the F, I present to you, what the F. This may be the biggest F I\u2019ve ever what\u2019ed,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

Lightning does strike twice<\/p>\n

The racing world has been under the microscope for the Liam Lawson incident this week, which only makes this Tesla driver incident even more baffling.<\/p>\n

Lawson was cleared of any wrongdoing by the FIA on November 1, after two stewards ran across the front of his car mid-race, after retreieving debris on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

The Racing Bulls driver<\/a> was audibly shaken up by the close call, having radioed into the pit crew<\/a> to say, \u2018I could have killed them\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"One<\/a>Red Bull<\/p>\n

Hopefully, as motorsport circuits begin to enter their climaxes before the holiday season, security will be tightened up and everyone will be kept safe in these cars flying around at 200MPH.<\/p>\n

The Motobike race incident can be seen below, around the 7:23:40 mark.<\/p>\n
