1. You don't gain any time going very wide in Blanchimont. Fastest line is inside the lines.
2. There's no point talking about "real" because any real life racer will use all the track he can. Just look at the F1 race in Monza. EVERY driver went wide in Variante Ascari and there was no talk about it not being fair. The marshals also acknowledged that you couldn't really win any time doing that so the white lines were ignored.
3. I don't get the argument about car setup. I set my car so I can take Blanchimont flat out and be inside the white lines. I'm not saying I was able to take it flat out and be inside the lines every time in the race but setting the car that way had no impact in my speed on the other sections.
Anyway I think it is realistic to allow people to go wide there because in real life they do it as well. And you are after realism so you should be ok with it. I also think the STC crew have done a good job with the circuit cut warnings and the crash bumps so why don't we just all concentrate on racing.
