During a qualifying session for FVGP, a league that I assist running, we noticed that laps no longer get flagged as dirty if a driver goes off track. As such we had to void the qualifying session to ensure competition fairness but even testing the same and different settings at the same and different tracks resulted in the issue re-occuring.

This bug is very detrimental to leagues as it means competitors could theoretically cut the course and get away with it to improve their position.

Here is a video of me very intentionally driving off the road during a session set to Timed Race and completing the lap without it getting flagged as dirty.

Well that’s not good! I hope this doesn’t happen in public multiplayer!
