For example i had my best time with an Audi Quattro (550 BHP) on a certain special stage and i was really flying......i post my time on the web just to find out that there is a Saxo (1.6L FWD) one minute faster than me.....that's just impossible :P
Well, sometimes it's still possible, with hard try and, perhaps, some tricks (abbreviation or like, I don't know the game, but I think of similar other games I played). And 1 minute is not that much more to be cheated, I guess...
Really if you play the game u will understand in a Special stage of around 2 min. and 23 seconds with the fastest car (for that stage at least) versus a seriously weaker car, while flying over the stage, getting beaten or even beat it with a small difference is to be considered as cheating.....not loosing by one minute...... it means that when he finished the stage i was still halfway in...... just to test my curiocity i drove the same car the cheater used......well i was around 30 seconds slower than my best time hehehe so i went to the next step.... i calculated his average speed and it was around 180km/h and remember over a twisty, narrow gravel stage, while the car's top speed even with the long gear ratio gearbox (which is not the best suited) is around 180 km/h.......it's impossible to just drive flat out on 6th gear alone, let alone that there a lot of 180 degrees turns taken with 2nd gear and around 50km/h if u r good with a good car....
i am not saying nobody can best my time.......surely that can happen but i guess it would be no more than one or two seconds....
running one special stage all the time until u get it perfectly is like Formula 1 qualifyings, just tenths of a second seperate the first few cars, and only a couple up to 4 seconds the first from the last car....u will never see double times....
to put it in other words
imagine u have a Ferrari and an other guy has standard 1.3L saloon car
and u decide to drag race him and you do perfect shifts everything perfect and still beats you by far....... is it possible??? (no unless u had no wheels) that's the difference between the cars we had hehe.....
