[WEC] WEC penalties. Is there an answer?

Also relating back to the "good old days" (though that for me was basically from 2000-2008, maybe a bit before that), track limits abuses were almost non-existent because no track (until Fuji got reworked by Tilke for F1 to run there) had the parking lot sized paved run off. Even tracks that had massive run off areas they were usually grass or grass and gravel pits. You didn't want to put a wheel off on that stuff, as you'd either lose time, spin out or risk getting stuck.


And even then, Fuji did have grass verges before the pavement to discourage track limits abuses. There's a reason why even F1 are reverting to more grass run-off areas next to the track.
