Feedback and Suggestions

I agree with everything you've mentioned here for suggestions.  In addition to these I'd add that the "green strip" of track next to and attached to the rumble strips on many tracks is a part of racing surface in "real-life" situation and can be used as such.  For example, Circuit of the Americas.  However, if you get offline and over the green in the game your vehicle is slowed down drastically.  A better racing experience would allow for the space to be utilized, whether corner entrance or exit.
