protest?

[Bighair]

Is filing protest mainly for on purpose actions? I only ask because i lost .29 safety rating because someone else hit a wall and then ran into me and causing a huge domino effect. I thinks it just crazy i have to be penalized for someones bad driving especially because of how hard it is to keep that safety rating up.

Or is that just the way it is?

There is a few things to consider.

Do NOT look at incident points as a punishment. Look at incident points like they are damage points.

No matter how good you are, if someone stupid around you damages your car, you 'll get incident (damage) points.

iRacng is a simulation. It's pretty hard to get into if you treat it like a game. Experience will learn you how to deal with bad drivers, you'll see them coming, you will get a better driver avoiding accidents (no matter if they are your fault or not).

Treat it like it's your IRL car, and you don't want to die. The win is a bonus. It takes some time and some will never be fast, but still can experience that track / racing feeling that comes with a 80% simulator, 20% game.

i Shouldn't have to file protest when drivers are intentionally causing wrecks. why are black flagged drivers still allowed back onto the track? people get black flagged and stay and try to wreck everyone else's race. black flag should be locked in the pit until race is over?

It depends on the black flag. Can be a drivethrough or a stop and go penalty. The meatball flag means you have so much damage that repairs are required.

You need to serve the flags within 3 rounds, or you get disqualified.
