If you get someone ramming into you from the back obviously on purpose, SRS wants to know about it via the protest form submission. And they'll get suspended and/or banned for such behavior. Typically getting punted in the first lap isn't "on purpose" but is more from just not being used to what turn one actually looks like with a full grid of people dropping down to 2nd or 1st WAY earlier than you would on a hotlap because, you know, that's how traffic works.

Either way, folks gotta learn some how. Ideally it'd be against 23 other bots on a private server, but if it takes joining an SRS race and getting a 1 month suspension for being careless, so be it!
