I am pro taka in this case. Take them out until the race engine is redone. The behavior on downhill pave doesn't work as intended IMO.

Agree, this old Buhmann pavé code was never really tested due to the various bugs, and it's really hard to understand the thoughts behind it. Anyway, the riders shouldn't lose more time than it actually takes to ride down that steep. Once this will be implemented (talking about years in the future), the width of the road and the curviness (is that a word?) needs to be considered as well, as it would make a huge difference on how fast the riders would go.

So we ban downhill paves in designs again?

I would recommend it

Or easier, just ignore it in the in-race calculations.

Knowing the code, this is not going to be easier
