Oh yeah Sailor moon, you mind if I drop into your lobbies one time? They look enticing.

GTO stands for Gran Turismo Omologato.... a badge Ferrari had which Pontiac shamelessly stole. It was basically a stamp from Ferrari saying it has passed the ritual of racing. Innitiation so to speak.
NSA= National Security Agency... you work for them in Splinter Cell, and the guy who help's Will Smith's character in "Public Enemy" is an ex-NSA agent (in the movie, not IRL).
Oh, there's another abbreviation... IRL

So? Cant just pick on a couple that are used much more commonly than others but leave ones that exist in just the automobile world. Cant smoke in this part of the room, but you go stand in the corner over there and you can smoke all you want, right?
@Stav: "Sailor Moon"
Brilliant.

Everyone's forgotten about the most important one, GT! That stands for Gran Turismo, Sunset, just in case you couldn't figure out the 'missing letters'.

The tests will work depending on what was hacked. Immortalpilot shut down the tunes series just in case, but will continue with his Stock /Spec series. I believe Spec FGT is the replacement for the closed series.

I'm not an expert, but I don't believe there is anything that can be modded that doesn't show up in either a PP or HP/Weight check, especially considering it's a single make series. You can't just add or delete parts without it affecting something which will show up in a check, unless you are taking off power, in which case it will hurt not help. If you're still in doubt, you can watch replays and double check speeds at the end of the longest straight and the tach. They dont lie.
In a multi make series it might be a little harder but still possible so long as you have spec'd the cars and are familiar with them. Again, engine sounds, the tach, top speeds don't lie. If you are found laying off the throttle at some point, it's a clear indicator.
Maybe I'll PM Immortal about this stuff. It's a very popular series and I'd hate to see it go down from a lack of knowledge, as opposed to something real.

He's lost before, twice actually, it's just been a long time. It's just the suspicion of cheating that set him off. Now we're doing a stock FGT series instead. I'm not complaining about that but it just pisses me off that cheating is even possible.
The guy who beat him definitely seemed to have been cheating too but it was subtle. I don't know the details of how the hybriding works because I've heard that they can modify the PP values as well. Eitherway, just the idea being in peoples heads is gonna cause problems, I'd rather they be banned entirely from public lobbies, but like I said, it's doubtful to be able to ban them from public but not single player and private, it probably has to be banned altogether and I'd rather have that than deal with cheaters

Any changes made to a car affect PP ( downforce, power, weight, tire grip ), and PP is calculated by the game based on those car parameters, increasing tire grip increase PP, my RM Camaro has 2.5 times tire grip increase just for fun doing wheelies and stoppies, it's undriveable, it rolls over even on slow corners, it has 800+PP with less than 600HP and 1200+kg. You can increase a bit here and there, but PP will increase, I'll let you know what I found, I increase tire grip to 1.03 times and it increases PP by 5, and the car still corners like it should be before being edited - almost no improvement, to gain any advantages, more than 5 PP increase would be needed, it will be pretty obvious in one make race like F1.
The added tire grip increases cornering G's, it's like having higher compound tires but with PP increase, just like having more down force. It will be very noticeable on replay, you can check the G meter to see if it match the g's of the tires used and running PP check on a single make series is quite simple, no cars should go beyond certain PP at max spec anyway, do HP and weight check too just to be sure, and if everyone pass, that means no hybrid.
Beware, you might be the next one scolded for using an "unfamiliar" acronym.
I think less people will respect Immortal now, not with they way he reacted in his new thread ...
Looks like the old issue from his closed series kept creeping in on his new thread.

Here is another reason why modding should be given the ax. If your in a drag lobby and cleaning house with a good tune. Someone is going to yell "Hacker" It's really beginning to bring out the worst in people. There will always be sore losers, and sore winners. But this is getting old fast. And the excuse "It's a realistic tune", Who is making that call? The Cheater?

Being accused of hacking is not just happening due to all this. Any game of any time people are accused of hacking. 
Can't really blame these current hybrids for that.

When I pull in with my Edge SS Camaro and get called a hacker and booted before I even run......That's the new trend,not a sore loser. And the trend isn't helping the false call outs.

Actualy people can get DLC cars via savefile hacks.
It has already been showed in this forum, a non US player with the Edge SS Camaro.
So, techicaly, it could actualy be a hack, if someone of a country had a car not normally obtainable.
It's normal for people to get overly cautious, and miskick a non hacker.
