Type

The packet type from the ISP_ enumeration, always ISP_PEN.

ReqI

ReqI is always equal to zero.

PLID

The player's unique ID.

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.
