Dear Hotlappers,
As it is possible to cut corners on some of the Rockingham configurations, we recently implemented a corner cutting check system. This is available in Test Patch 0.6K2. It works by triggering an HLVC failure "out of bounds" if your car is a few metres off the intended course on the inside of the bend.
This will promote fairer competition by ensuring that hotlappers remain on the legal area of the track! We have already reprocessed the existing Rockingham hotlaps at LFS World and removed 80 hotlaps that went out of bounds. If one of yours was removed you should have received an email about it. We recommend you use Test Patch 0.6K2 so you know if your hotlap is HLVC legal according to the new rules.
Hotlaps on some of the older tracks will also be affected, but not yet. During this testing stage we are still using the 0.6K version to check hotlaps on the other tracks.
NOTE: We expect to release a minor update of Rockingham in January and it is likely to make all hotlaps go OOS (EDIT: I mean all the Rockingham ones). So please do have some fun hotlapping but don't take it too seriously at this stage!
