I just don't get it. Cheating is despised by most, but it's especially bad if there is money (or it's in game equivalent) involved.

The thing I love to play most in RR3 are the Time Trials for pure tests of me and my machine vs the cold unforgiving road. And if you give two drivers the exact same car and road, it's a pure test of the drivers skills.

Hanging out out with a buddy of mine who plays using an Android phone really ruined the entire game for me. After some convo and my obvious disbelief, he created a new RR3 account and showed me some things.

Step 1: went online and after a total of approx 4 minutes he had 99 million R$ and 999,999 GC. He told me, the key is, use what you generate immediately before a cloud save. So, he bought a ton of cool cars and Fu I'd them. Just like that.

More annoyingly he then loaded a different program, just a quick free download available to anyone.

Win this program he would go into any event, and on the car selection screen highlight a vehicle, then he could change any value: speed, accel, braking and G. Easy as can be. The change lasts for that race and isn't preserved by a cloud save. We went into a TT, put G up around 5, accel to 0.5 and slaughtered the 1st place guy. We disconnected and force closed RR3 so results wouldn't be saved.

Cheating is effortless. And it isn't detectable via watching a ghost unless the values are radically tweaked.

How I know it's happening all the time is when I've got the same FU car and I'm in pole position, race starts and me and position two just go straight down the straight... and he passes me. Should be Literally impossible. Every time. Yet I watched this last night over 100 times.

The brake crashing is the result of someone tweaking their brakes too high. Then get in front of you, hit their brakes, you slams into them because they stop near instantly, they let go then apply brakes again and you hit them again. Three-fives times and your car is basically ineffective. they suffer zero damage.

I'll see guys go off road, way way off road and make it back on road and ahead of me In less time than it takes for a normal car just to stop in the sand alone.

Needless to say, cheating is here and utterly commonplace and undetectable by us (if done carefully). That being said: why should we believe any top racers time ?

I'm sure there are plenty of good, honest racers but... how do we know? Roberto? RaduTan? How can we possibly know? All it would take is a moderate boost to the stats for someone who is already good to make hem incredible

Yesterday we played over 800 attempts at Indy with the Venom to match some of the top 10 players lines. My buddy and I just could not, could not period, match some corners these guys did --- until we tweaked the G up a bit. You wouldn't notice faster accel or stopping or speed - just that we could cut lines that would csuse anyone else to skid out. And I'm telling yiu, we tried and tried till we cried - then, using his phone and that app, left everything else the same and boosted G way up. Blamo, three runs later were besting top 10 runs. That simple by some class b almost class A on a good day drivers.

The cheating has to be fixed - it hurts everyone and is painfully insultingly obvious.
