OK.....so I'm confused.
I just ran a B daily. I started 2nd and finished 4th. Coming out of the hairpin (turn 1), I didn't get a clean exit and was passed. Coming up to the 2nd hairpin (just after the 1st chicane), I hit the P2 car when he braked early. He wasn't going overly fast; at least, no faster than I was at the time. But I hit him and he went off the track. I continued on, and was in 2nd for the next 3 laps. On lap 4, I got passed, different driver, when I messed up the 2nd chicane and had to brake longer than normal due to carrying too much speed through it. Down to 3rd, again.
On lap 5, the person I'd hit on lap 1 passed me in turn 1 as I braked a bit too late and ran too wide to hold the inside line. I made sure to keep my distance so I didn't hit him, again. At the 2nd chicane, I apparently cut the 1st corner and got a 1 second penalty. I checked the radar and noticed the person behind me was VERY close coming up and into the long right-hander after that chicane. But for some reason, they backed out of it and lost almost a full second by the time I was coming out of that turn. They WERE less .4 behind me going in. Coming out, the gap was up to 1.3. OK? Don't know what happened. I make it through the esses with no issues, go through the final turn, come up to the penalty zone, serve my penalty, and cross the line barely a tenth ahead of P5.
No clean race award, obviously, since I had a penalty AND I hit another driver in the rear.
So I go to check my DR to see how far it fell. Except it didn't fall.....it went up.....exactly 2200 points.
WTH?! How can my DR go up if I hit someone, knocked them off the track, AND got a penalty for cutting a corner? My SR didn't go down, either. I'm obviously glad it went up (back up into C). But I knew for sure it would go down due to those 2 things.
