    Hello guys, i recently started playing Raceroom and there are many things i really like about this game, but also quite a few issues. The biggest one so far is the fact that i get a big time penalty (1:30) in every single race against the AI. Sometimes i finish 1st but the game sets me back to the very end of the field without any kind of explanation why.

    Is it for cutting corners? Is it for crashing into another driver? Is it for leaving the track? Speeding at the pit lane? I just dont know! I tried to disable penaltys, but so far i could only see two options - penalty for cutting corners and the flag system. I turned off both but i still get penaltys. The game dosent even tell me at which point i did some kind of mistake, which is very frustrating. What exactly i have been doing wrong?

    In any case, your help is appreciated. Maybe there is some option to disable these kinds of time penaltys completly? Or maybe you guys have had the same experience?

    Do you happen to have the mandatory pit stop activated? If so then youre probably only taking fuel (you have to change at least 2 tires for it to count as the mandatory stop) or youre pitting outside of the pit window.
    If not then ignoring other penalties (for example from cutting or passing under yellow) seems likely in general but then turning off cut penalties and setting flags to anything but full shouldve "solved" the problem..
