How 'bout this guy?

-1 from me, if the server wants to put something there then they can if not then it should be open. The gravel traps slow you down quite quickly as they are, it is just a slower corner there. I wouldn't like the automatic penalty for going through them at a certain speed. Look at toca race driver (i know it isn't great but the example works) you get a warning for going off track and gaining an advantage, even when you out brake yourself and run wide. It really ruins that game and i think it would lfs too.
Also as said once we have a better damage model it will hopefully stop people doing that as overall they would loose out.
I'm still for landmines or a sniper... See the BL2R thread

"This guy" is the perhaps scariest thing in the world. But I heard you can trick him by moving diagonal and using double speed
lol!

What about simply raising the outside of the curbs a little bit (at the point you would come back to the track after cutting through the sand) - as in the last metres of the Blackwood chicane? So if you touch them to quickly your car tends to roll - or you run into a wall like the *high* kerbstones of South City.

I think that would work properly AND doesn't change the look of the chicane too much.
How about creating a layout and just put a forbidden zone in there? If they get a one minute-penalty everytime the cut the corner, they might reconsider their tactic pretty soon...

@wark, getting there lmao!
A Solution could be similar to whats done in real life, if you cut the corner, your under investigation, if your laptime is faster then your penalised, if you made a mistake and went off track, usually you would always be slower. You should be penalised in some way for track cutting
Where do you get on the throttle? (asking anyone)

It may be dependant of the car driven
Quote from birder :We have already added a tyre barrier to stop this on our servers

and I think its much quicker
How about Squids and snipers?

It undermines the purpose of the sand...thats a corner that alot of people wreck in (Depending on the config) ... the idea is that a little screw up doesnt completly cost you the race.

Honestly, I have never seen people do it. I'm sure they do (they do everything) but I can't say its a problem.

Besides, they might be faster for that lap, but when they get to t1 (ok, maybe not t1, t1 is fast) they wont have such an advantage, with busted suspension. Especially if they do it a couple laps straight. Besides...I see anyone do it, obviously and intentionally, I'll take them out (if not in an Admin'd server of course) ... I will throw a race to keep someone from getting away with cheating...im here for fun, the win i secondary (and honestly, rare)
Hey guys, I tried making the chicane a bit more cut-proof. What do you think?

You forgot the inside tirestacks on the last left hander!
Nonono, I can't put any tyres there - they might end up on the track! It's all about safety!

E: Though this gave me an idea: I'll surround it with barriers, then it's more safe because then the existing tyres won't end up littered on the track. Thanks!

B-C in ideal cases...

I'm thinking overkill... Quite literally FPS-wise...
Where are the jumps, so I can cut that cut-proof chicane?

I think he was being sarcastic..
Doesn't seem to work that well with AI
