In these race skill not only fly, but also correctly calculation for real and indicated airspeed. On accurate flying and correct calculation speed depends race results. No calculations obtained arcade. Or want to get an arcade ?  |
From official redbul rules:

Exceeding the maximum entry speed:
A 2-second penalty is incurred when a pilot exceeds the maximum entry speed of 370 km/h through the start gate (between 371-380 km/h).
(for this game we should read: A 2-second penalty is incurred when a pilot exceeds the maximum entry speed of 300 km/h through the start gate (between 301-310 km/h)
this means that only above 310 there should be a disqualification!
In those tracks is not like this and it should be if you want to make it like real...
regarding speed in real life at sea level IAS=TAS=GS (i'm not considering GS since there is no wind in game) so if you read 300km/h on anemometer you should have 300km/h also at gate speed check... so is not arcade but realistic
