Well, I certainly hope they can find a way to put it back in. I can see why the time penalty might be good for newer players but, to be honest, when I was a beginner I really didn't have a problem finishing time trials without going off track, I just couldn't do it very quickly! The penalty may help newer players set a time in fewer runs, but I'm not convinced it will help them set better times.
