As i said sometimes less is more just focus on making the exit neat, the pace you gain from a good corner exit extends to the whole straight. Also wally on the corner cut app i havent had the amount of cuts i have done or the green red light for a long time now lol
do you even motorsports?

yes, occasionally I would be up like half a second and then throw it away and found it hard to replicate often, I reckon there is probably a 1.16 on mediums with practice and a decent setup for anyone who can drive it well like you and kcender

Do you have the results to see where we end up after the penalties.
Yep, earlier up there is a red link to race results that show cuts, gap to leader etc.

Wally: regarding cuts that aren't cuts. I know that PLP has the green/red light to tell you if you are going to get a cut when you come back on but I usually don't see it. Maybe make it bigger or an option to make it bigger so you can't miss the red light. I don't even know where I got the cuts last night.
Take a look at the PLP app thread - there's a new version with the option to make the green/red square much bigger. By default now, it's the size of the entire app, but you can make it smaller.

Here's an interesting web site that has the real 2004 Imola pit stops.
https://www.formula1.com/en/results.html/2004/races/756/san-marino/pit-stop-summary.html

A lot of the field did 3 stops, over a 1hr 26 race. It would be interesting to see the tyre/fuel changes they did. Most of the pit stops are the same time, so they probably did fairly even fuel & tyre changes.

3 stops was my plan, until I spun in the 1st turn, hit the wall and killed the engine. :'(

The worst offender went outside of track limits 24 times! Matthew only went outside once.

Haha I thought I was bad this race. I had to go to check the results to see who that was  :-X

I'm happy with how PLP works and we all know the rules. I did think it gave me cuts when only 2 wheels were off the track a few times but at the speed of this car I was probably way off track and didn't realize. Being a fun run I threw caution to the wind but in a league race I'd definitely have tried not to get any.
