When I re-read my latest post I can see that it is articulated in anything but a diplomatic way. I did not mean to get in anybody's faces. I'll blame it on a combination of being a bit frustrated that people did not seem to understand my point and a tendency to sound a bit harsh when I am trying to be pragmatic and effective
Never the less I think what I was trying to say is highly relevant, so I'll reprhase myself (and add some stuff):
The way the cutting/running wide rule is today is what the majority of this thread wants. I am however saying that there are problems with the way we are doing it now, namely:
It does not work as intended as I do not check the replays, nor do I ask the members to do so. I want this league to be about fun, therefore I do not wish to ask anyone to do any more boring work than what is absolutely neccessary. Studying the incidents you have been a part of is VERY important and does not take too much time, checking for cuts and wides is much more time consuming and much less important.
Personally I see two solutions, both constructed to create close to 0 work for the Race Director
1.
Everybody honestly tries to be on the correct side AND does not care if their opponents from time to time goes wide or cuts. This needs to be baked into the Presto GP culture. Because cutting/running wide will (and does) happen. We are too many drivers doing too many laps on too many tracks to make it realistic to believe otherwise. Hence what Reik sais; that we cannot regard an occational cut or wide as braking the rules. Also, we will see a spread in how successfull drivers will be in avoiding going wide or cutting. I guess forum heckling would be the instrument to keep this spread withing reason. Personally I have no problem accepting this alternative, but I am not everybody.

Alternativley one can alter the track boundaries (as they do in real racing) through a race meeting. This way one will obtain a pre-agreed boundary that is to a much greater degree regulated by the track itself. To give an example; the turn at Interlagos where Mark found that Reik had made a small cut in his best practice lap. One can only cut with a few cm in that turn, and doing so you are also running a risk of losing control of the car and there are probably not much time to be gained (if any) in doing it. From a Race Director's perspective, who wants the league to run by it self more or less, it makes
a lot of sense to allow a drivers meeting to identify such spots and allow cutting in that turn (and in similar cases). Personally I have no problem accepting this alternative either, but I am still not everybody. There will of course be a hint of alternative 1 baked into this alternative as well, as drivers still are able to cut/run wide on a pre-determined race track. But the "pressure" will be less so to speak.
Any other alternatives where the race director (or the drivers) does not need to do much/any work are more than welcome
A solution like alternative 1 but including qualify as mandatory in the incident review could be possible, but it could also be pushing the drivers work load a bit too far. It might be easy from your perspective, but from the Race Director perspective he has a large number of people where
everybody has to do it. We are not better than the weakest link I am afraid
