Adding to that,even with a very poor penalty system the game is still better than any other games I have tried. And even with the occasional infuriating dirty race the good times makes up the balance enough to make me want to race every day.
Totally agree, Gt Sport has the best online experience, the whole reason we comment here is because there are some obvious flaws. If these would get fixed the entire experience would be superb, who would not want that?
I don't think I understand the first part of your comment.
And why are the curbs at the chicanes so far back from the stripe if I have to keep two wheels inside the lines?
I think it's more of a factor that the real track manages those limits in the same way, it's driven by where advantages would be gained if the limits were not in place, not simple definitions that apply to all 8.5 miles. And I think that because it's so long, it stands to reason that there will be more variation in the applying of the limits. It does create some challenges, though! I got a track limits penalty for nearly losing it after the kink on the entry to Indianapolis during the Supra event... I was already penalized for the tank slapper, but had to serve the time penalty as well, which hurt. I wasn't even sure at which point I really crossed the limit, but it doesn't ever surprise me at Sarthe because they are notoriously brutal in places there, and you're likely to find where those places are each time you race there.Track limits are part of the penalty system, right? Ugh. The track limits at La Sarthe don't even try to be consistent. Most tracks it's either keep two wheels inside the stripes or two wheels on the curbs, but here the definition of track limits changes depending on the corner. At Corvette and Porsche it's keep two wheels on the curbs, but try to take Indy or Dunlop like that and you'll get a penalty. At Mulsanne you can completely cut the apex and smash the bollards with no consequence, but if you straddle the curb at the apex of the kink before Indy that's a penalty? There's not even a stripe there.
Also a number of other cars seem to act off at this point too, very odd. 
If you want clean racing, search the online racing section. Not even FIA’s are clean anymore. Most leagues run penalties off and are much cleaner than with them turned on in sport mode
Another proof that the system doesn't give a 🤬 about control inputs at the moment of contact. And the penalty for the, I must say, perfectly executed dive bomb is just not even funny anymore. I seriously don't get it. They keep saying that the penalty system is only supposed to penalize the one benefiting from the incident, right? I can't seem to figure out what he gained from getting sent into a wall because that was not a penalty for hitting a wall. The more I watch it the more it just looks to me that the one gaining from the dive bomb was the 🤬 dive bomber. But what do I know, I'm not a racing driver or a game developer. But to be fair, he might have been rear-ended, we don't know. The penalty for it is still a joke though.
Yeah, PD's obsession with punishing brake-checking is well known. And according to PD you can now brake-check even when going full throttle and not even looking at the brake.
So here is more penalty greatness but was this driver just lucky or do they know how the system works because you can bet if I did all of these contacts I'd get the penalty all three times but for them it was their opponent, two on me.
Ok so they were not at fault for the last one but it's not even a situation that needs a penalty. Also it seems the penalty amount is just randomly generated too.
See, I was hit here just like the 3rd video but it was my fault of course and not the driver behind, not that it should ever be a penalty anyway.
To be fair to this driver though they waited as I served my penalty because it was nonsense and later beat me fairly. 👍
