0x8B - Track Markings Type B (Track Section Command)

This command draws various types of track markings onto the track, e.g. part of the starting grid and part of the pit lane markers.

It is sometimes used in conjunction with 0x8A - Track Markings Type A, but it still not clear what the difference between the two commands is.

The starting grid in Hungary - like most other starting grids - is defined using 0x8A and 0x8B commands as follows:

Cmd	Arg0	Arg1	Arg2	Arg3	Arg5	Comment
0x8A	3	8968	13	-768	513	13 markings, which is half of the full grid of 26 Left side, since Arg3 moves the markings in a negative direction Pole side, since the markings start at 3 (Arg0, compared to 1 for the other side)
0x8B	1	9480	13	768	513	13 markings, which is half of the full grid of 26 Right side, since Arg3 moves the markings in a positive direction Non-pole side, since the markings start at 1 (Arg0, compared to 3 for the pole side)
0x8B	42	8456	1	0	257	Starting line, since there is only 1 occurrence (Arg0) with no sideways offset (Arg3), and it starts a long from the start of the section (42 TLU units, the section length is 43)

The 0x8B command only appears as part of the starting grid and the pit lane markings.
