SM Racer, I am an IT person (and quite a good one, even humble with it ;-)). It is theoretically possible to run an "automated" script against RR3. In practice, this approach is not very good unless you have an optimum setup. Whilst you could record all your responses, tweak them inch by inch and then replay them into the app without modifying it this approach relies on the app responding in exactly the same way each time. Unfortunately this isn't the case, either through complexity of the game engine or by design (I know I'd add small amounts of randomisation to if I designed this game to prevent this).

I've experimented with some software around this approach to see if it was possible for people to be cheating like this (yes it is cheating without hacking) but I don't think it is possible. If it was, I'd knock RaduTan off the top leader boards for one week just to demonstrate it. However, I personally couldn't use this approach long term because I play RR3 for entertainment, not to post top leader times.

There are hacks out there that can be used to slow platforms down that would be more effective at getting the perfect lap but it doesn't work very well for a racing game as you still need to learn the limits of the vehicles grip which is harder at slower speeds.
