Seems like the same old to me. Just got penalized for someone slamming on the brakes to prevent me from passing. Out of bounds is the same. Anyone see anything I am missing here?
Is wall riding harder for the cheaters to do without penalties? When someone nudges you slightly, does the collision send you flying like it used to, or is the impact effects more sub-dued?
Yeah still go flying when you get tapped. Allmost seems worse! Maybe its just the racers at this time of the morning? IDK. Maybe it's that there is a lag difference between Japan and US? All my races so far have been 90% Japanese racers.

usually when that happens now when they slam on their brakes in front of you, you should just go right into them ... they turn ghost .. just happened to me and i went straight through them.
Yeah I think the turning radius ghosting has improved? I don't know. I saw it also. just like you said. Someone ghosted as they lost control and didn't take anyone out, just went through them.
Some person cut a corner and was faster than me...
The penatly system has been killed. II got penalised for driving normally as a GTLM flew into the front of the car.
Also new technique is now approved by PD bump braking your opponents...
Ive been bumped like 5 times in 3 races...
And for a online event theres only 9 JPN racers the rest are US or EU (Fuji)
AI and penalties will never, ever be perfect. The game can't distinguish between intentional punting and accidental punting because it can't read our emotions and intents. But, others have posted that they don't fly off the track from a slight bump anymore, and I'm looking forward to playing online when I get home from work.
Maybe we need a 2 person penalty system. If two cars contact each other, however slightly, and if one of those cars has 4 wheels off the track within 3 seconds, then BOTH cars are penalized?
Later on when we get private rooms I hope there is an option to turn of penalties. Because then the baddrivers will be kicked out after the races and many will only run with friends etc.
I think you should have to pay (out of your credits) to join a race. If you finish a race clean without penalty you get your credit back as well as any winnings. If you do bash someone you get a fine say 300 credits or whatever and so on till they loose all there cash from there stake.
I also think that if you paid to join the race your less likely to disconnect, as you will loose your stake.
I don't think penalties will never be sophisticated enough to reliably distinguish between "reasonable contact" & punting. Private rooms will do away with the issue: racing with other people who share the same racing etiquette should make penalties largely irrelevant.
They do need to get rid of the over-reaction to "rubbing", however: you can never go into a corner side-by-side at the minute, because the driver on the outside is always likely to get shoved off regardless of how minimal the contact is.
