Just my observation .... but I've been pleasantly surprised with the updated 'incident' model in Sport-mode. Several times over the course of a few days, I've been wacked from behind, sometimes sending me off track. At race end, my SR has been blue and sometimes even get a clean race bonus. If there is heavy contact while side by side, I may get an orange SR at the next marker, but sometimes finish the race with a blue SR. It seems maybe PD has differentiated between the front/sides/rear of the car in terms of contact. It's really nice to know that if I do get wacked from behind, it's seeing it as not being my fault, almost always. Side by side .... Mmmmm ... maybe a grey area. If I wack into somebody with the nose of the car, well that will drop me from blue to neutral for one contact .... anymore and you'll be a red for sure.
Hope I explained well what I think I'm seeing .... a big step in the right direction. I'm not sure how many play Sport-mode on a regular daily basis .... I do, and have noticed the change.
