Penalty System

[sunnygsm]

Hey, I was looking to set up a league with some friends and was considering the penalty system. I haven't used it much, could anyone fill me in on the penalties that game enforces?

I think the penalty system gives you a speed limiter for the chosen amount of time if you cut corners to gain advantage or if you ram somebody. On GT4 there was a pit penalty system but I'm not sure it's in GT5.

You should use the penalty system so that way people don't punt you off or cut corners.

I was told that if someone is about to hit you, your car ghosts, was wondering is this is true?

Sometimes.

From my experience, the penalty system is useless and interferes with racing more than it helps. I don't use it. If someone makes trouble, they are booted.

If your race league is with friends, then I even more strongly encourage you not to use it.

That's what I wanted to do, I don't want to be getting random penalties as well when the game incorrectly recognizes something. I put up some basic rules and said people will be expected to follow it, some people have an issue with it though.

I think the penalty system is too forgiving at times. I always set it to strong.

If its all friends and youre worried about the CPU making bad calls, why dont you make it an honor system in regards to a driver making a request of you to review someone's race if they felt like there was something worthy of a penalty. You can review the replay if anyone ever brings up something and make predetermined penalties ahead of time, like cutting chicanes at +10 seconds, etc and then add the time for the penalties yourself after the race. If its a league that youre running, whats to stop you from manually calculating who won if there was a penalty?

The game will reward the winner as the winner so I don't know how useful that would be? Just enable penalties and drive fair.

if he's in a racing league, then the league host is the one who awards championship points. The game does not. This means that the host can review all drivers after races and check for penalties and issue the proper penalties.
