Packet Details
Size
The size of the packet is always 8 bytes.
Type
The packet type from the ISP_ enumeration, always ISP_PEN.
ReqI
ReqI is always equal to zero.
PLID
The player's unique ID.
LapsDone
The number of completed laps.

Player flags (see IS_NPL#Flags).

OldPen
The penalty value before receiving this packet, from the PENALTY_ enumeration.
NewPen
The penalty value after receiving this packet, from the PENALTY_ enumeration.
Reason
The reason for the penalty change, from the PENR_ enumeration:
- PENR_UNKNOWN: Unknown or cleared penalty
- PENR_ADMIN: Penalty given by an admin
- PENR_WRONG_WAY: Wrong way driving
- PENR_FALSE_START: Starting before green light
- PENR_SPEEDING: Speeding in the pit lane
- PENR_STOP_SHORT: Stop-go pit stop too short
- PENR_STOP_LATE: Compulsory stop is too late
Notes
The Reason is only accurate if the penalty is given by LFS, as there is no way to assign a penalty other than using one of the /p_dt, /p_sg, /p_30, /p_45 commands, which all result in PENR_ADMIN.
