Looking at his replay, I think he spent 1.999 seconds off-track. He must have been 1 or 2 frames off of getting another +2 second penalty.

I got +6 penalty in a test yesterday, but my cut was no way clean since I still had SA on. So now we know at least how it works. If you can gain 4 seconds or more in total, with less than 2 seconds off track, then cutting corners/chicanes is going to be worthwhile.

I find it rather sad however, if this is going to become the new method to achieve top times instead of just clean driving!
