Are penalties being handled properly?

i received an unreasonable 10 second penalty for this simple bump on the side by the yellow BMW, the driver of the yellow BMW was being a douchebag for the whole race (after the bump, he was sideswiping the Bugatti up the hill).

I 4hink a lot of folks have stated their feeings about this in many a thread. I admit it is sometimes frustrating. I think the game was designed with racing spirit built in, ie not ramming and crazy late breaking, there is a time to yeild a spot and wait for retake in a better place. The problem is sometimes it is like playing grand theft auto with a guarenteed win from the first corner lol.

I now play in sport mode, if I get rammed off I try and create a rqce from ithers at back of pack if they want a good race and my experience is better and more enjoyable that way.

I also trybto quali as high as possible and get away from the carnage but pressure can make me make mistakes and fal bqck in pack too.

Sometimes I womder if it would all be fine as is, if everyone understood rqcing rules and what is not acceptable in real life racing, funny thing is slow in fast out is they way not ram in wobble out.

As long as i keep my sr s i feel better.

Look at all the threads on here, penalties are broken.

Sometimes you are better off not qualifying so not to end up mid pack at the start. However the match making is broken too and a lot of the time it will place you behind drivers with a lot lower DR ranking. Qualifying top 3 is better. however as your DR climbs the system will start placing you mid pack anyway. It loves to put me 7th to 12th. Heck once I tried my best in qualifying, got placed 20th in a room full of DR.S/DR.A It was still carnage dodging accidents and getting rammed by people rushing back to the front. I left DR.A soon after, better off in DR.B

Actually after draft bumping on blue moon my SR was down to B, there the match making is much better, and the racing was actually better too since there wasn't as much difference in people's abilities. However it didn't take long to get back to SR max with the ****** match making setting up bad races. If there was an option I would keep my SR at max B... Tired of rooms ranging for S/S to D/S, those are a mess.

PD really needs to implement a damage system.

The average gamer won’t respond until there’s real tangible, gameplay altering consequence.

Penalties, SR - They’re just numbers on a screen.

yes, that's also my experience, DR.B / SR.S were nice relaxed races with occasional win. Now I'm higher DR.A and it feels like hard work to race against someone from top 10 and it's also boring.
