Nonsense Blanchimont warnings

[PickABetterUsername01]

Hello, I've been getting random warnings at Blanchimont that makes absolutely no sense. I captured one of these recently.

This is just one case, it's been happening since last patch, sometimes the game simply gives me a warning for track limits at Blanchimont(or just invalidades my lap if it's hotlap or qualy).

Anybody else having the same problem? I remember a race where I got 2, thought I was going to get a penalty for no reason.

But I did gain time on blanchimont on my fastest lap. I used that line many, many times during this race, went wide many times as well. But I only got a warning on the second lap, a bad lap, a bad blanchimont.

Can't you guys see it so clearly?

Hmm, okay. I wasn't driving nor was I present. Let's say what you said is indeed true, then maybe there is a glitch in the penalty system at this very corner. I believe there has been some occasions in ACC where this was corrected via patches.

But I wonder how you measure your time gain at blanchimont. Did you do a video analysis and measured times from a fixed corner entry-point to a fixed corner exit point?
When I go offline I make sure to get off the loud pedal a bit to not gain time and hence receive a warning. Did not analyse in that depth that I would know the difference in time gain in terms of what Gergo mentioned.
I understood that the time gain after I exit a corner I cutted is not relevant for example.

Just look at the lap delta, if it keeps going up, that means you are going faster and it kept increasing while going through blanchimont. It doesn't matter if you are faster because you had a better exit before or cut the corner, time going up in game means smaller delta.

In this case, you can also look at the speed, it's way higher on my fastest lap than on the "dirty" lap.

In case you wanna check, 52:59 is the blanchimont part of the video of my fastest lap.

My fastest lap was using that line and I got no warning. This is a picture of my corner entry on my fastest lap, and I did gain time.

Please reread what Panks told you, you get a warning if you exceed limits and your microsector is faster than your best, it has nothing to do with whether it was your fastest lap or not. Key word here is microsector. With this system if you f$#@ up legitimately and lose time you won't get penalised (ie not exploiting it). It also means if you make a legit mistake you can often avoid a track limits warning but backing off a touch immediately and not taking a gain for the cut. It works well and is consistent once you understand how it works (which you could do by actually reading these posts).

Also you previously mentioned that your lap delta improved through here when you when wide and didn't get a penalty. Again, microsector is the key word here. Your delta works off your previous fastest lap. Your best microsector was probably in a lap that wasn't your fastest lap, hence using the best lap delta isn't accurate here. Read what you've been told and get learned son

Also side note - you don't need to use that much track on entry to get through Blanchimont. If you can't get through without keeping 2 wheels on/inside the wide line then you've either got a setup issue with your car or a lack of finesse in your steering technique.

Then there's a problem with the system, which means I will get a warning in the first few laps just because it's using my first horrible lap of the race as reference. It also doesn't care that I'm entering wide or going wide at the exit while going fast. The game clearly allows you room to go wide during that corner, fact.

And no, the fact that the delta was increasing during that on my fastest lap shows that it was the best blanchimont I had so far. All the previous lap were much worse(except the one before, which was the reference and I improved).

I'm gonna use all the track I can, as you can see, the only warning I got was because the system ****ed up at the beginning, so it's allowed.

Suit yourself then.

You ignored the part of my post that said to read the other posts

Your delta reflects your fastest lap, it doesn't mean that delta lap includes your best Blanchimont microsector.
