WOW, just WOW... I mean I was seriously starting to get the hang of those tracks and its wiped now?! I thought it was funny looking at the leader boards and not seeing a time... WOW wth! I'm frustrated at this point.
They will be dogs chasing their tail at this point, unless they recoded those two tracks to go red anytime you touch the wall, and you know its not. This is just too much, but on a good note I like rome

Are you all really that stupid? People from all over the world have used cheating tactics in racing games, its not just Americans. I really don't feel comfortable sitting here listening to you guys bad mouth Americans because of this, its a personal choice of the person that decides to cut no matter where they are from. Fixbywire is from South America but is now in the U.S., should we bad mouth South America too since he was going wide on Cape? Seriously, please stop bad mouthing Americans.

Yea, its because its an American competition that there is cheating.
You are all complete morons if you really believe that every person from other countries would race clean. If this was a world wide competition people from every country across the globe would have been cutting grass. You all are too much.
I'm sure that is true. But it seems to ME, we have made a fool of ourselves and a mockery of the competition/PD. Don't be offended, I have pride in my country as well, it's just things like this that the whole world is watching, adds more to list of crap we are sometimes dicriminated against for.

Well... ****. This will be the third time i have to lift myself into the top 16. Never mind that i have sacrificed a lot of my resources/time for this and suffered in other areas such as my university studies and job/personal life. Now i have a military drill weekend for the guard and will have very little time to practice.. ****.
and you know what? I never cut yet i am penalized. What would be fair is to DQ the ppl who are cutting. It is not like in professional racing series they just eliminate the track

First let me say I feel for you guys. I really do. This really sux. But at the risk of getting my butt kicked let me play devils advocate. Although I'm sure it was not intended, what's being tested right now is your ability to deal with adversity. Without question it's an unfair situation but it's also a test of your character. You either get mad or you get on with it. Imagine you're the number three driver for an F1 team and one of their drivers is out for the weekend at a track you've never seen. Now it's your job to get in the car and get a result. What do you do? Do you say "sorry boss I need more Time to learn the track" Or do you get in the car and show them you're the guy they should of put in the car in the first place? All I'm saying is don't waste energy on stuff you can't control. Use it to take care of business.
My apologies to any I may of offended or upset.
May The Fast Be With You.

It doesn't help when Americans themselves add fuel to the fire. If someone is going to enough trouble to see that Americans are cheating, they might also see that Americans are also the ones who complained to bring the cheaters to justice. If anything it shows that will and determination can get things done, Sony/PD would have never changed anything if it were not for us "Americans" making a stand and telling them we need them to change something in the competition.

I do not understand why they just dont kick the cheaters out of the competition. Everyone will continue to cheat if its possible until some real actions are slaped on them. This is extreamley un fair to the people that did not cheat and put in all those hours. Its seriously a joke at this point!

I'm glad the clean drivers outweighed the grass cutters in an effort to make the change possible. Notice in their headlines, there is no mention of participants being concerned or bringing the problem to their attention, it simply sounds like PD found the problems themselves. Unless others are on this forum, they won't know the truth to the American GTA failure.
What really gets me is, all this changing of the tracks because corners are being cut and being "fair," what happened with Cape Ring? Can't change the past? Then why change now?

This isn't directed at anyone, so don't take it personally!
but I see a trend developing in our society which is worying, it's not just an US phenomenon.. it's global! and the events here highlight it.
imo in a competitive sport, winning is nothing if it's without honour and fair play.
How can any individual who takes part in this online sport, or any sport be happy with themselves by winning by cheating or foul play..
Where's the sense of achievement or competition when others are playing to different rules or constraints!
do these folks who exploit the game engine feel it show's they are smarter than the others?
In my book it highlights a lowering of moral standards where we are happy to ignore right or wrong in pursuit of our own gain..
This will ultimately destroy the very backbone of civilised society...
now please excuse this interruption whilst I climb down off my soapbox and get back in the cockpit..
Good luck to all you fair and honest racers still in this competition may the best person win. 👍

- Why is it always someone else's fault! (no personal accountability or responsibility it was PD or Sony's fault for not preventing me doing this!!) isn't that the same as saying smith and western are to blame for allowing us to shoot folks with guns.. they should make them safe!
- Why do folks take an attitude of everyone else would cheat if they were in a position to do so, therefore justifying there actions?
- Why do some think that all's fair in a competition it's only about winning...
- Others would have taken advantage of my cunning shortcut were they as smart as me!

Again, if this competition was worldwide, we would see the same type of driving from every country involved. Also, its because of our judicial system here that you see those types of lawsuits, any other country who shares or would share the same judicial system would see the same types of lawsuits. It is not because someone is American that they decide to use bad character. I really feel like this thread is turning into something sour.
I still can't believe you.

I realize some of you may be at work and posting here. Yes, the rules could have been better. Yes, PD should fix their game. But honestly, just put in your laps and let the chips fall as they may.
You've been racing these two cars all week, the setup of either has not changed.
If you're really meant to be a professional racer, then you should look at this as a challenge to yourself and prove that you have what it takes.
Also, I'd like to point out that the organizers did NOT have to do a thing about the cutting at Indy. You would know this if you read the fine print of the rules. At least they have tried to rectify the situation to the best of their abilities.
TRC Surly and gslooney, thank you both for your wisdom.

Maybe if there weren't SO MANY CHEATERS (Indy Road Course) this wouldn't have happened in the first place.
It's too bad because it looks like the CHEATERS will prosper again.
What really BLOWS is that this "Challenge" is limited to one country only and not EVERYBODY!!
