where can you view the top runner's replays?

Wow..., you can't be serious. Do you play ANYTHING other than GT-5? Do you play any other title that has REAL leaderboards? When you've got as many people competing as we have in this GT Academy.., a few mere tenths of a second can give you a major jump on the leader boards.

Yes.., the good drivers will always be on top (even without the corner cutting). However their "so called" excellent skills would be put to a serious test if they WERE NOT ALLOWED to use track exploits. I've downloaded ghosts from the top drivers and in many instances managed to stay WITH THEM on some spots.., but when they used an exploit the advantage they got from the exploit was pretty significant.

The problem is there are A LOT of good drivers out there who don't get to see top spots because they REFUSE to exploit. So what.., you going to tell everyone who PLAYS BY THE FREAKIN RULES to quit whining and complaining.

ARE YOU USING SOME OF THESE TRACK EXPLOITS YOURSELF?????

Might I suggest decaf? Temperment can alter times in amazing ways.

Chill. The harsh tones aren't necessary.

Sorry, but that's a sad excuse to justify exploits. Using the kerbs to lock a turn is one thing.., but there is flat out track cutting going on. If you condone that then shame on you. These so called "top players" wouldn't be in those positions if they weren't "exploiting" aspects of the game.

Just because there's an exploit that allows you to (in some cases) essentially have ALL four wheels off the track doesn't mean you're in the right using it. Cheating is cheating..., PLAIN AND SIMPLE. It's up to PD to see to it that events are run fairly.

Just because the exploit is there doesn't mean I'm going to use it. Heaven forbid someone actually want to get on the leaderboards top slots by an HONEST lap that doesn't require an exploit. Shame on anyone I guess for looking for "fairness" in this competition.

No way. It's an excuse to say that those people are the best because of the "exploit." And besides, you don't decide what cheating is. The game does. What those people are doing is simply using the game's rules to their advantage. It's not cheating if the game allows you to do it. I don't know how many times I have to say it.

Even then, PD has pulled the plug before, they'll do it again. If it really is that bad, PD will make adjustments, just like last year. Rest assured, PD is watching replays.

To the OP. If you wan to stay competitive, why not join the band wagon? I understand that you refuse to use "exploits" but how do you expect to be on top? Is it cheating? I don't think so, its using the whole track to your advantage, not just the inner part of it. You are allowed 2 tires on/off, is it wise in real life, no, in the game, why not? These times in these rounds don't matter, its later on when it does and when that time comes, I'm pretty sure you'd see more strict boundaries.

We already have a thread on this very subject:

Oh and when you move over to that thread to continue this discussion, do it without the personal digs and attacks, anyone failing to do so will find they get a few days holiday from GTP.
