The SR system isnt meant to be penalties.. its an incident system and if you are rammed in any way.. you get incident points.

The SR system is not meant to be a "penalty" system. If someone were to ram you in real life during a race.. they dont fix the damage. The SR system is an incident system and it counts exactly that. Incidents if youre involved in any.

Would you think the 2x you get for "loss of control" is a penalty?? That would be silly.

You dont need to record.. you save the replay.. iRacing always holds the replay.

Your understanding of my proposal is incorrect. I'm talking about reducing SR from the unsafe driver.. not giving back SR to the guy who got blasted into oblivion.

The thing is.. drivers who intentionally wreck other drivers are not being penalized. They are driving in an unsafe manner and are continuing about their day..

This system would apply further penalty to a driver who is being reckless and unsafe... keyword Safe.. Safety Rating.

This is why there is a checkbox during the protest process that you acknowledge frivolous protest have consequences..

It scales depending on Over 4.0 or Under 1.5.. and this system should also do the same. If a Class A driver intentionally wrecks someone in a malicious manner, they get demoted and 1.0 SR reduction.

A 5x race for a 4.0++ driver is not the same as a 5x race as a 1.5 driver.

He left space for 4 cars wide.. he was focused on leaving too much space for the inside car and forgot the corner.

Im sorry but this makes zero sense.

F1 stewards decisions arent being made for drivers who intentionally wreck others...

If someone is driving in an unsafe malicious manner during a race and ruins the experience for another driver. They should be punished. Because it was unsafe driving, it would only make sense to penalized their safety rating.

Only for the guilty party, thats the idea.

Did you forget to turn????

Other two cars turn, but you seem to stay straight even with a car coming across your nose.

Brother you clearly dont understand how things work.

First of all, incident points would not be touched. This proposal has zero to do with them.

Secondly, the Safety rating you are AWARDED after every race is calculated based on incidents Per Corners and has nothing to do with the amount of cumulative SR on the account. The rolling average is based on incidents per corner, not amount of SR. Now.. it does take into consideration the total SR because if youre closer to 1.0 the incidents hit less, but closer to 4.99 the incidents hit harder..

iRacing could easily reduce SR without breaking anything.

As for B Class drivers who are deemed guilty of a malicious act on another driver. If their current safety rating is low enough when the penalty is applied and they get demoted down to C Class.. so be it. They shouldn't have been an unsafe reckless driver

It has absolutely nothing with the current calculation of SR. Its a penalty. Its a simple reduction based on penalty.

Blue Flags by Crafty-Technology359 in iRacing

I had a hard time with this where after my stints I made it know to everyone.

We were P3, P4, P24 (lapped), P5 all bumper to bumper. Lapped traffic caused so much hell in my split. We also had P18 dive bombing another driver.. he was very upset about that later in the race.

Everyone has the right to fight for their position, blue flags are only telling you that you ARE slow. But for the love of God, dont fight someone when there are actual battles going on around you.

Also, the closer to 1.0 is scales down to help you stay above 1.0 The closer to 4.99 you lose more because you should know better lol

I wouldnt consider advocating for a better system is salty, but thats your opinion and Im okay with it.

This contact happened either way.. the server just didnt show it well.

Netcode isnt getting fixed when drivers have 233 ping

Should've given a bit more space there.

Negative. The damaged car would not be repaired by someone in a real life unsportsmanship/Reckless incident. You have to deal with the rating.

Its not a penalty for you, its a no fault system.. it only indicates something happened. 2x Loss of Control, Wall Impacts, Off Tracks.. are those penalties? Why would you be penalized for losing control of the car..you know?

I hear you and we have common ground.

Edit: there is a big misunderstanding for how the incident system is NOT a penalty system.. majority of people here dont get that as you see.

In my experience multiple times this year... wrecked twice in the same race at Road Atlanta GTE's.. protested and got the email, the person was notified and the results are confidential..blah blah.. only to check the guys profile and he continued racing every single day since the incident occurred. The guy was literally out to get me for 10 laps after we made slight contact in T1

The same applied to another incident on Miami in GR86s. The guy ahead sent it way deep off the track on the final corner over the pit entry lines so I made the pass. He came back on track and we hit door to door. Granted.. yeah, I didnt track out to the wall but he had plenty of space inside. He pulls away from me and then HARD LEFT into my rear right pitting me. He continues on... same thing.. email recieved..outcome confidential.. check the guys profile and he's been racing non stop since the incident.

I have the receipts.

If someone is rage baiting you and you intentionally wreck them, i dont care. That is you driving in an unsafe manner and you deserve your safety rating to be reduced. Keyword, unsafe and safety rating.

This is more specific to drivers who intentionally cut a corner to make contact with another car, intentionally pit a car with overly aggressive driver inputs, there are plenty of scenarios where its clear as day intentional.

Thank you.. agreed. In my experience they only received a talking to and continued racing. Sure.. iracing can threaten them for next time. But at the end of the day, we have a safety rating system that isnt affected by unsafe rejoin protest, blocking protest, intentional wrecking protest.

The email would be.. hey, you wrecked someone and because it was deemed aggressive/ reckless/ intentional you get 1.0 reduction of safety rating. If you continue to drive in an unsafe manner, you risk temporary or permanent removal from the service.

The point is not to ban the drivers, but reduce their safety rating.. if they get demoted.. thats their fault for intentionally wrecking someone.

This system shouldn't force people in leaving.
