Got downgraded to B D, total BS.
Sometimes you'll miss the brake or misscalculate the radius of the corner and may have some side scratching or end up gently pushing someone of better corning. I don't get pissed with those small genuine errors, I'm also prone to them. But there are several instances of the person doing it out of will. I know I have done 2 times as payback and calculating for no punishing. a guy that had rammed me from behind and side 2 times to get my position on the oval I used the last corner when I was inside to just do small touch to the side and make him scratch the wall and lose speed. The other revenge I don't remember exactly what I've done.
There seems to have some improvement on the penalty. It doesn't discount by just doing the normal braking, you really need to slow down to do pay for it. But yes, getting 10s penalty for passing a ghost on the sideways is BS.
Will be a long time to 65 Poles and 91 wins... still 1-3

Yep and I'm afraid it's only getting harder. Looking through my list of followers in the game, they've all lost interest in the game and either stopped playing entirely or are like me, just getting the daily bonus or a few races few times a week. They were all good drivers and SR.S seems to be shrinking instead of growing. I haven't had a single race in the past week where everyone was evenly matched.
I'm hoping they're all waiting for the GT League update to renew interest in the game, and the influx of new players at Christmas. It's a shame the penalty system seems to be discouraging good driving as good drivers usually finish last the way it's set up. When I screw up and disadvantage someone because of my mistake I slow down to let them pass. The penalty system doesn't care.
Anyway I did two races on Mount Panorama today for the daily bonus. Second was best, went from last to 4th in 3 laps. People cannot handle that circuit lol. (The first 3 were A and B class, 3rd was only 2 sec in front of me though at the finish) That track must be kicking people out of SR.S at an alarming rate as both times over 2/3rd of the field had red ratings afterwards. I came away with blue ratings but still lost the clean race bonus. I got a penalty for avoiding another car by briefly stepping into the grass. It's always nice to get punished for avoiding an accident which already costs you time lol.
I also noticed that the penalties are harder to get rid off. It took the other 2 laps to get rid of 2.4 seconds on Mount Panorama. It also depends on the track of course. It's easiest to get rid of it on tracks where you idle through some of the corners. Hardest on the ovals. And yes you have to slow down quite a it now to get rid of it at the finish. Before you could simply coast the rest to the finish line and lose an 8 sec penalty and still finish before a car 2 sec behind you can catch up.
