Could a TRK surface (using LINE or even CASPH values) be added for dealing with run-off areas that folk shouldn't be using?
Perhaps with server settings?
...so the number of times it was used before a penalty was given could be adjusted by the host.
....or the penalty type could be changed - drop back a place/ride through/time penalty.
"Hit it 3 times = 10 second time penalty" would do to start with. :)
Gotcha.
Maybe tie it into Qualifying as well?
...to scrap laps at a single touch.
....or a touch that lasts longer than say a couple of tenths of a second.
