WRC have a trip meter very often using in fog or low visibility weather. So 500meters it's a 500meters anyway. And if driver see that 500m as 300m in notes it will be 300m. And according to trip meter he try to turn after first 300m, but here is another 200m of straight. So actual distances very important.

PS 500m and 300m it's a HUGE difference
