    If you cut the first right side curb on the uphill chicane (pic attached)

    you get a cut track with also next lap invalidated.
    Thats surely not as designed since there is no way to get an advantage for the next lap while there are still 2 corners to go

    That's definitely cutting the track. Just don't go there.

    trace log please

    I suspect it's scoring the cut so large for some reason that it invalidates the next lap. Cuts that would automatically receive a penalty in a race, invalidate your next lap in non race sessions.

    P.S. Do you understand that rF2 won't penalize you for cut tracks if you don't gain time? So the fact you got a penalty should confirm that you made a gain (which is probably why Alex is asking for a trace log).

    Maybe we need Macau's anti-cut rule :D

    Would I assume the new .gdb customization settings would fix that?
    https://docs.studio-397.com/develop...neral-tracks/track-limits-track-configuration
    Lime Rock does not seem to have them in the .gdb file.
    • CutNextLapInvalidDist //Manually set the distance at which the next lap will be invalidated. This is auto calculated by default.
    I'm had the same next lap invalidated at Portland when I cut the last Chicane.
