Is Impact System Flawed?

[DotYourEyes]

I've noticed that the impact system is not working correctly IMO. Say I start a race green. I do my best to race clean, and avoid ramming, bumping, etc. But then these clowns constantly ram me in the corners using my car as their brake. I always end up on the losing end of this type of collision, and to add insult to injury, at the end of the race, I'll be in the orange/red, and they will be green.

Is this how the impact system is supposed to work? If so, that's kinda BS.

To call it "flawed" is to pay it far too much respect. It's a dumb idea to begin with as it has no means of determining the difference between rammers and those being rammed. It also fails to distinguish between the noob who drives right into a mountain and then spins out in the middle of the road and those who have no choice but to run right into him.
