New Penalty System Will Tried In #QatarTest #Wintertest2019 . . Shortly before the start of running at the Losail track at 4pm local time on Saturday, Race Direction held a special meeting with riders to explain the new system, as reported in Motorsport. . The idea is that any rider who receives a penalty will be forced to pass through a specific marked area off the track well away from the ideal racing line, costing them time. . On Saturday, the asphalt run-off on the outside of Qatar's Turn 6 was marked with a pair of white lines to indicate the route the penalised rider would have to take. . The system is intended to replace the current standard in-race punishment stewards are able to hand out, which is to drop one position. . Riders have been instructed to try passing through the new penalty area during Saturday's running, and then a fresh meeting will be held to determine if this is a viable solution going forward. . . Hmmm, what do you think about this idea guys....?? . #Mbak_Yu
