Penalties in Next Release

For the next version (2.0.1), in addition to Season 3 with Class A Supercars and the 1991 Formula 1 (91GP), if the player is in semi-pro or pro mode, penalties will be activated for all cars in races.

The different penalties will be as follows:

In practice or qualifying:

  • The current lap time is canceled if the driver cuts a corner.

During the race: 

  • pit lane if a corner is cut (if more than 70% of the corner’s width is off the track on the inside of the corner)
  • Stop and Go if the car is started before the green lights go through
  • Stop and Go if the car exceeds the speed limit in the pits.

When a penalty is applied, the driver has 5 laps to execute it, otherwise they are disqualified

I also modified the code for penalties, which generated errors on certain tracks (for example, rally tracks, and speedways, should not generate penalties). This point is now handled by the track segment; if it isn’t present, there are no penalties.

I’m also thinking about implementing a solution for the future, to introduce a 10-second stop and go penalty if a car causes an accident and takes a car in front of it off the track.

Good game !
