the stewards, incidents that happen mid race, such as collisions,
can be reported to the stewards or moderators post race via
private message on PSN. note that incidents may still be

PSN usernames can be found at the top of the thread.
The severity of the penalty may change depending on
the case.
Repeated corner cutting will result in a 5/10 second
post race time penalty, whether a in-game penalty
is given or not, if a player recieves 4 or more
in-game track limit penalties, their race will be
assesed for corner cutting and track limit abuse.
Once a decision has been made, a statement will be put in the "Review"
channel in the discord server, along with the reason and punishment for the
incident, if a driver wishes to dispute an incident, we ask that you do it
respectfully and in private.
below, there is a list of some of the penalisable offences:

Re-joining the circuit in a dangerous manner.
Passing unstricken cars under yellow flags.
Blocking faster cars under blue flags.
This is only a shortlist of penalties.
