Some considerations that occurred to me:
1.
'Cut Pit Entry Lines FOR ADVANTAGE' - 25 seconds
'Cut Pit Entry Lines FOR ADVANTAGE' - 25 seconds
My inner lawyer says that the words 'FOR ADVANTAGE' are nebulous and open to heaps of contention. You can only go so fast on tarmac anyway.
I believe you should get rid of that term and simply give everyone a slap on the wrist:
'Cut Pit Entry Lines (2 tyres or more over the line)' - 5 seconds
'Cut Pit Exit Lines (2 tyres or more over the line)' - 5 seconds
That'll keep everyone within the lines. Like in tennis, two tyres on the line is IN. =P
2.
'Track Limit Extension - Consistently done for Time Gain'
Please define the word 'consistently'. I have no idea whether that means 3 laps in a row at the same location on the track, or 5 separate cuts at completely different corners over 2 laps, or 8 total times across the entire race at any corner.
What is consistent cutting, and what isn't? Does intention matter? Are there going to be specific points on track where this matters, or can I (if I want to gain by reviewing someone else's car) look at someone else's race and tally how many times they cut a corner or go wide?
Also, I believe there is a little formatting error, in that, some lines without a hyphen at the front have penalties after them, and then subheadings connote the specific examples of them, and sometimes the specific examples have times while the headings do not. Relevantly, it looks like a 'Track Limit Extension - Consistently done for Time Gain' can ONLY be '-CORNER CUTTING: CONSISTENT', because that line does not have times attached to it that separate a track extension from a track cut in relevant categorisation.
3.
What's an 'Unsafe Return to Track from Pit Exit'?
If that's a separate offense, it should stack with the pit exit lines to make a penalty of 50 seconds. Is that the aim?
4.
I don't see a jurisprudential reason why the first two protected powers or 'Notes' should exist as all, if the penalty table is as rigorous as it is. it covers every offence that could be committed during a race weekend, so why have that protected power to upgrade the sentence if it'll be incredibly rare anyway? I understand it would allow flexibility, but because this is a social league anyway, the admins and stewards aren't going to be practising rigorous legal formalism like a judge anyway, and admins and stewards will have the power to do whatever they like within the confines of what I'd call 'social capital' (what you can get away with without making the community angry and being overthrown).
The third Note coloured Red also has the same problem. It's pretty superfluous and doesn't mean much. Instead of notes, outlining administrative provisions (how the table actually works) would be a lot more helpful. I discovered this recently myself (here's an example (self-indulgent plug, I know =/ ):

Otherwise, I like it!
And feel free to ignore my sorry arse if you're close to getting triggered because I don't mean to offend anybody ever and I hate that people think I like the rocking the boat and putting my neck in a guillotine as if I'm a sadistic troll when all I want to do is help the community.
