I played sport for years and never heard or noticed this?Yes, it's still the same driver rating bias rubbish that sport had. The lower Dr you are the more contact you can get away with, you get free shots at anyone at a higher level than you because they are more experienced and should know better or something.
In sport (don't know about 7 yet) you could even abuse tracks limits more if you were low rated (say B and under) and got less of a penalty if you did get caught.
I didn't notice that in kie's stream. People were getting penalties like you say but the reason they got them was plain to see. Usually from bunching up and the pinball physics taking over. They all seemed to be within reason, though.Yes, it's still the same driver rating bias rubbish that sport had.

Ah, OK. I've never seen mixed rank races to see how it works in them. Thanks for the answer, mate👍It's not that it gives unfair penalties to high rated drivers (not at the moment anyway), more so that lower rated ones (B and below) do not have to drive to the same standards and rules and do not get these deserved penalties for doing the exact same thing to each other. Then if you end up with a mixed room it'll let the B rated driver punt the A or A+ driver without penalty more often than not.
At one point (probably more) in Sport it used to even give the A rated guy the penalty for it. I think @Sven Jurgens even used to deliberately lose Dr sometimes to stop this from happening, as he was getting lots of unfair penalties when the B drivers were constantly hitting him yet since he was A rated it was always blaming him.
