Is there no penalty or do you just save enough time to make it worthwhile? There seems to be no penalty except that you obviously can’t drive fast across the grass, but it seems to be still worth it. I thought at first my opponents had discovered a worm hole!

FM have however said that they are looking into a general off track penalty like in WTTT for OMP too, so maybe this loop (worm) hole will be closed soon. EA/FM surely  must already be aware of all the shortcuts on all the tracks that deliver no off track penalty. Surely it cant be too hard to put barriers across the opening at the shortcuts. All the previously discussed "port holes" still remain and are being used. Dubai, Porcshe, Silverstone, Suzuka tracks(any more I forget?) all have no off track penalty for the shortcuts.

Anyone asked the question on Reddit?
