We may do special events during which certain cones hit do result in dnf, but that's rare, and never at an Open or Classic. Down or out - 2 sec penalty, etc., etc.

The "Push Harder, Suck Less" philosophy explained:
Push Harder - Drive as close to the limit of your tires as possible.
Suck Less - Drive something resembling a proper racing line.

Whoops, my bad. While I'm glad those aren't DNF cones I still think they will get obliterated once or twice. I am often wrong though.Native wrote: Wed May 01, 2019 10:19 pmUntrue.kirkendsley wrote:If I remember correctly then pink cones = automatic DNF if you hit them.

If you're hitting the row of cones that is 35-40 feet beyond your apex... you might need to adjust your talent.kirkendsley wrote:While I'm glad those aren't DNF cones I still think they will get obliterated once or twice. I am often wrong though.
