The system will handle if a driver passes over the track and off again during a track limits violation provided it is with in the limits set above, and will continue scoring the cut until they finally rejoin properly.
Whilst the track limits are being scored, an “Evaluating” on screen message appears. This is now colour coded. The colours mean the following:
Green: Little chance of penalty. You have lost time.
White: You are not currently receiving a penalty, however you may still receive one if you gain time.
Purple: This only appears in strict mode in non race sessions. This is when your lap has been invalidated for going off track, however the game does not believe you have gained time and would not penalize in race.
- Yellow: You are currently receiving a 0.25 point warning.
Orange: You are currently receiving a 0.5 point warning or higher.
Red: You are currently receiving an automatic drive through penalty.
Drivers are strongly warned to behave appropriately and avoid sudden braking with cars behind them.
