Penalty System

Hi guys and gals

I am new to these forums and wanted to post a thread so that maybe someone can shed some more light into the issue that i am having. I was in an online race and was driving really clean without bumping people out of tracks etc... However at one point during the race the other online players gowayy to close to each other infront of me and got a bit chaotic as people were spinning out of control and all over on the track... I on the otherhand tried to swerve out of the chaos and was rear ended by another player which sent me off the track and gave me a 10 seconds penalty which sent me from 3rd to dead last.. Im just scratching my head on how i got an instant 10 second speed penalty for something i did not cause? Is it because i braked when people were behind me? If so its because i tried to avoid other collisions infront me.

Mneh... If someone kind enough can explain to me the penalty system exactly I would appreciate it :)

Thank you!
