Very good job!

I am a member of the WRS who has only competed twice due to some time issues. I'd like to say however that I have great respect for keeping these events up week after week with such professionalism. Also as I expected the 99% 'honesty rating' is something to really be very proud about as a community.

I find it very interesting and even more impressive the stewards have found a way to analyze replays. You are actually better at managing events than PD themselves!

Keep it up amazing WRS community! And yeah count me in as a regular for GT6.
 
That's amazing news guys! Absolutely brilliant work! 👍

Stock TTs would be awesome! :D
 
Although I haven't taken part in WRS, or even started GT5, for quite some time I still check out GTPlanet more or less on a daily basis. The hard work and commitment from the administration is an example for any on-line community.
 
I'd recommend a frontpage story of this great "tool" we have now and how it has been missed during the past two years. Obviously not revealing how it's being done but just to show how important such a feature is for a community like gtp.
 
Fantastic job guys 👍
Personally I had no doubt about our drivers. It's nice to see that you managed to find this new review method. Keep up the great work and thank you for all your efforts.
 
Good stuff, pudding is in the proof! No, wait, how does that go?:lol:
 
Great stuff! 👍 I take my hat off to you guys. Well done on finding the peice of information you were probably looking for for quite a while :cheers:

I never doubted my fellow competitors as well. There will always be a few but the statistics are very impressive. Only a pair of repeat offenders.

Good to see a few racers I haven't seen in the forum for a while too! :cheers:
 
This is really great news - I did think it was possible to extract that information from a replay, so I'm glad someone found the keys to unlock it.

Good news for stock TT's in the future, they sound good, I like driving stock cars.

And 99% honesty over the last two years - to be honest that's much higher than I expected and is an impressive number.

Keep up the good work, and I'll be back TT'ing shortly.
 
As a racing series host I am always on the look out for cheats. Could you perhaps PM me with how you can tell this?

We've already discussed as a team, and this is information we're not willing to share. The main issue being that in the wrong hands, it could be used as a guide to cheating, rather than a means of revealing cheaters.

We're choosing to keep this under tight lock and key.
 
This is exactly why I like the WRS so much. Always trying to be better in ALL facets of competition. Keeping it as pure as possible.....Well done!
 
Great job and dedication. Kudos
Haven't been able to compete for almost a year now. Psoriasis got the best of my hands and couldn't really hold the ds3 for more than 10 minutes. Much better now, might try to get back into it one of these weeks!
Crozzlow is that Frank Zappa on your picture?? amazing guy!!

This is so cool 👍 What a game of CSI this must have been or it's the best fake out to get cheaters to rat themselves out :lol: Man I just love this behind the scenes stuff. One thing I have learned about this place is there are some of the most computer savvy people around hanging out here then you can imagine.

Watching on Youtube how the cheaters tweek the code from the save file and inject it back into the PS3 was just jaw dropping and now someone possibly did an overlay against the what the submissions showed is just pure genius if true. Regardless, reading this stuff makes all those hr's of pulling my hair out worth every minute since this is my practice field against what I think are some the fastest and most impressive drivers on the face of the earth.

Thanks again for the effort that is put in to making our little piece of cyber space a place of integrity and honesty. :)
 
I haven't been racing in the WRS for quite a while now, but seeing these numbers, still somehow make me feel proud. Thanks guys, for keeping this spirit going and going and going.

I think this info is gonna make it to the general public sooner or later. There are smart kids out there with lots of spare time. I'm guessing the same people who did unlock hybriding etc could also look into replay format and tweak what's in there after the fact and make checksums checkout right.

There may or may not be a short-term benefit from tighly guarding this information, I'm not sure. However, it is 100% more important that in the future people know that if they cheat they will be caught and banned.
 
I hope in gt6 we will be able to create time trials just like the seasonal events, that way you can turn all the aids off and select a car. I hope that's what they mean when they say they will give more organizing control
 
An absolutely astonishing achievement from a dedicated, exceptional and clearly talented team. If the members of this community and board didn't already know how lucky they are to have been a part of the WRS, then they do now.

Congratulations for everything you guys have discovered, and the greatest respect in the world to you all for the time you have invested in uncovering this information and checking 2 years' worth of submissions.

You guys are a credit to the game, the community and so are the WRS competitors.

:bowdown:

All the best

Great stuff by the WRS admin going above and beyond what is necessary to make the experience better for everyone.

The results of the study are a great reflection of the community.

:cheers:
 
Breakthrough is the best word to describe it 👍
I'm even prouder having the GTP tag in every online event now!
 
Just one question to the Admins: Will this new discovery/proccess/thing-a-ma-bob be able to red flag because only one tire was in bounds or will we still have to do the replay check to determine? Alot of our out of bounds situations are still legal in the game and do not cause the time to go red.

This process detects technical (setup) violations only. Course boundary validation still needs to be done manually.
