Default Backing through a cleared gate.

So you clear a gate driving forward and the back through it to drive around and get a better line on the next gate. You stay in bounds the whole time and don't go through any other gates.

Allowed?

As long as you are going the intended direction through every gate the first time through,you could back through all of them if you like.

It was just a little confusing with the rules that mainly deal with this.

7.2.1 - A gate is considered cleared when at least one front and one rear wheel passes between the two
gate markers only in the intended direction of the gate.

7.2.3 - A vehicle may travel through a gate while it is in reverse and still clear that gate as long as it only
travels though in the intended direction (reverse penalty(s) will be assessed as necessary).

7.2.4 - The first time through any un-cleared gate must be in the intended direction and in the correct
sequence of the course layout until that gate is cleared.
