I'm not a racer (although I do spend a fairly large chunk of time stood beside racing tracks either waving a variety of flags or observing); however, in my view exceeding track limits still constitutes gaining an advantage (although possibly slight) that isn't within the spirit of the rules. Also, time penalties are only given out after the fourth transgression so the odd error shouldn't result in a penalty.
I also doubt whether such penalties will put off racers from going to Combe - it is far from the only venue where this is an issue.
