its called a rumble strip, they are all bumpy designed to be riden over, some tracks are higher than others tho, so knowing which ones to ride and which ones to stay clear of can shave seconds off a lap time.

They're not rumble strips if you can drive on them. I've usually heard it called curbing or shoulders.

We'll depends, some leagues call them Curb's ( allthough i dont see the logic in this )

but usually in F1 and Other Leages ( D1 grand prix, etc ) They are called Zebra strips. ( allthough this makes less sence. )

If the name for the shoulder of a race track was being debated I would simply call it "whatever I don't care you win" and move on with life.
