Ima join in, even though it must be painfully obvious to everyone its unlikely they'll change anything at this stage, or at all given their public opinions on matters in the past.
- Poles are fine while they're there, but if a car clips it then its removed until theres a significantly sized gap where it can reappear unnoticed, meaning the actual limit as decided by the layout isnt enforcable if nobody can hope to know where it is.
- Tyres dont do any damage to whoever clips them, can upset the car and be a problem but thats their fault. If hit hard in a particular way, they can end up being a bigger problem for the guys following behind, who've done nothing wrong. Also a disappeared tyre is still an invisable marker point for the acceptable limit.
- Concrete is about the only thing that'll be there from the SC lap to the flag.
Now, when we have admin's in this series, running other series proclaiming Safety Car laps are done because of *realism*, if someone clips a tyre and puts it into the path of another driver, why is that unthinkable in LFS? Does this not happen IRL? Nobody wants other peoples races ruined by someone elses mistake, however during the race theres usually plenty of instances where another cars actions ruin someones race, but we have to accept that these things happen in racing, other cars actions often have a direct impact on others.
I dont like the idea of tyres (though they're better than badly designed corners!), and basically once they're tapped they'll disappear after a moment and your back at the same place you were before. IMO if a post cant be seen on the track because its been clipped, then theres still a very visable red/white/red/white line pointing the way, and that isnt going anywhere. Its not as visable as a cone, but when you dont see one, and decide your going to abuse that and hug the next visable object instead, the stripey outline of the corner should be clear as day where your supposed to be driving to take the corner correctly.

They wont care that someone else clipped the post, its clear where it should be by the floor markings. If they let people go over the pole spot when its invisable and claim it as a clean lap, people will be up in arms saying its unfair.
