Fix the racing lines

Product: F1 22
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug Racing line is broken in many cases
Which area is the bug/glitch in? TT
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Test the racing line on Susuka other tracks.
What happens when the bug occurs? As described
What do you expect to see? A coherent racing line.

‌

I know most people don't care about the racing line but for those who do, and since they are in the game, you should make an effort to fix them and not just copy paste them from previous games.
A lot of times the line is incorrect and just shows, yet again, how little care goes into the game's mechanics. 
One of the examples is turn 1 in Suzuka, which has been like this since last year's game AT LEAST.

 

You can see by the image that at full throttle the racing line is completely red starting from the 50m board which is misleading as you can go full ham way over the 50m board, only having to break on the later part of the turn. 
This is only one example. A lot of the times my racing line is yellow/orange on straights which makes no sense and there's other turns where the breaking point is completely misleading. 
I know the racing line is just an aid and not really something you should guide yourself from 100% but make it coherent so it serves its purpose.

    I do understand what your saying however you have answered your own question..  it’s is just a guide. It’s a decent guide.  For learning tracks but it’s not and should not be used expecting to make you fast.   It does in general terms show you the correct racing line.  However F1 drivers being the very best often use different lines when attacking some corners.  

    A better aid that is now being implemented in games and something I first encountered when I first time I did a actual tracks day.  So is also used in real world so it’s a thing.  Are indicators or cones. At braking point. Turn in point and apex.  And sometimes one marking where to aim exiting the corner.   

    The reason it’s a better aid is simply cause it shows you exactly where the apex is.  And to be fast hitting every apex is essential.
