The “accidental controller unplug’ is a particularly inspired idea.
This thread is probably the only place where Bernie could have discussed his shortcuts and sprinkler ideas without sounding senile.
I also like the Burnout approach. Instead of being penalised for contact, drivers are rewarded with extra (possibly KERS) boost if they smash a competitor out of the race, minor boost for just scraping, and signature special trophies (and maybe points in an additional ‘drivers signature’ championship) for special takedowns- into any notable objects around the track, such as the harbour in Monaco or towards the old banking at Monza.
