Board Game Arena

So I am sure others have experienced a situation like this:

I am approaching a corner with a limit of 3, I play cards totaling 4 movement spaces, however because I am blocked I am only able to move 3 spaces. I then decide to slipstream but the game still calculates my corner speed as 4 and charges me 1 heat. I think in a situation like this the heat should be calculated on spaces moved not cards played. After all if a person cannot move all the spaces they played why should they pay heat on it? It feels like you are being penalized twice. Thoughts?

That is how the rules of the (board)game works.
You always check corner speed against speed of your played cards. So no mistake or bug or whatever. Rules of the game.

Not saying it's a bug just commenting on how the rule is not well thought out.

Why not. In first instance you wanted to go 4, so you should already pay 1 heat if you go through the corner. You don't benefit from the fact that you can't go all 4 spaces, that is 1 of the aspects of the game, blocking, so the other wont go as far as he would like.

You might make an argument that you should get even more heat or stress or damage your brakes,....
