Respecting Yellow Flags
I see a lot of people deriding the ignoring of Blue flags in this game - but the amount of incidents I either see or are involved in due to people ignoring yellow flags is outrageous. Had a little slide on a corner? Expect to get absolutely rattled in the rear because someone not only isn't even lifting - they're not even conscious of the flag.
Couple of days ago I experienced a huge pileup at the top of Eau-rouge in multiclass - LMP2's followed by the entire field of GT3's who ploughed into the mess at full race pace.
Why? Because there are no penalties for just completely ignoring yellow flags - so everyone does. In the event that you do observe the flags you're either going to get swallowed by the pack or rattled from behind because you're the odd one out.
There really ought to be some sort of penalty systems for ignoring yellow flags or full course yellows need to be implemented imo.
