Not anything as punitive as real life - in RR3 we’ve got to get a LOT of passing done in very short races, you really have to hang two off to make it work - but something that makes it a trade off that may work better in some places than others Short races with too many cars on track... Even when you are chucked off track for getting it wrong, you are usually so far ahead, it doesn't matter as the damage model doesn't include terminal damage for the player and you get back on track and keep going.

Let's let them work out where off track is punitive on its own and therefore doesn't require time penalties and where it gives an advantage and does for OMP and WTTT. Even there, there is a difference between a deliberate cut of a chicane and getting braking wrong and sliding over the penalty barrier.
