Moving on to penalties, I think a "penalty chicane" might be the way to do it. The design would be somewhat dependent on the geography of the circuit but ideally would involve a loss of about 5 seconds and safely feed back onto the main circuit. For a minor infringement, one pass through the penalty chicane on the next lap. For something more serious, two or three passes on consecutive laps.
I don't understand your question?
But if you don't understand what I'm thinking about....
Creating a boundary replicated in viewing electronically isn't too difficult to do.
Creating a program that effectively notes the impacts against that virtual wall and assigning a penalty according to the speed and /or the approximate force the impact would be is possible.
We don't want all circuits to be surrounded by concrete walls, but a virtual wall at the track or curb edge would be possible without creating the expense of mechanical damage or human injury.
