GT Academy needs a similar rules as SRW

[magsolid]

After i found out how the rules work in the events of SRW ( SimRaceWay ), they actually review the top times in the leaderboard to see whether they were cheating or not, by example: cutting corner, four wheels of the road, etc. Those who were cheating will get disqualified and not being eligible to win the prize.
They said winning a prize by cheating is like a theft. So GT Academy should do the same thing next year but instead of disqualified those who cheated, resetting their time would prevent them from trying to cheat their way to final.
Not to say that those GT Academy finalist were a bad driver in any way, but you got to win the fair way!!

Give me a clear example of anyone that cheated?

Look, it's up to the game makers to set up the track limits. If they don't do a good job of setting the limits then it's their fault. Compared to last year this GT Academy was verrrry smooth. Last year we had a whole fiasco with people cutting across grass and bumping themselves off armco barriers in city tracks to gain lots of time. They didn't have the game set up properly to disqualify those laps, but this year they did a much better job. You touch anything or have a mm of a third wheel outside the curbing and you were done. Another sim that gets this right is iRacing. Their automatic penalty system is excellent and I've never heard of anyone ever being able to abuse or get around it; same for GT.

So since they set up the track so strictly (cones were a great touch btw) there really was no way to cheat, just look at the top ten times in the world in a replay, all clean.

So yeah, let me know if you really have an example of someone cheating or whether this is just an assumption of yours.

👍 Completely agree dont see how anyone could cheat couldnt get more than two tires of the track and there was no way to cut corners so just not sure how you came up with this.

We did what it took, and did it within the rules set down by PD themselves. Saying we cheated is the same as saying a professional race team cheated because they stretched the boundaries of the rules with their car design. It's the name and game of racing, I don't understand how it could be cheating.

there was no cheating this year.

some people just have an insane talent for this type of thing. others (like myself) put countless hours of work into it.

if you think the top guys cheated maybe you should try to hang with a few of them in some private races. they are fast......end of story

Sorry but this made me a lot.

Somebody seems a little hurt that they couldn't figure out how to drive the car "properly" within the time-frame allotted. It really was a difficult car to get a grip on. (Haha, see what I did there?)
