3 years ago when I was driving with high assists I was convinced all the top guys were hacking as well.

Even when I first tured all assists off, I was convinced that what guys were doing was impossible. Then I found out that they were not. I got good enough that I could stay toe-to-toe with their ghosts for a third or even half a lap. Now I've managed 2 group A finishes myself.

I could take someones device and race exactly the same way that I do on mine. I know because I raced on someone's older iPhone once, even though I'm an Android user. I went to his settings changed them to what I like (no assists, Tilt B, sensitivity 2) and it was the same.

I'm really glad I didn't publicly accuse a lot of people of hacking, because I would have to be eating a lot of Humble Pie!! However, there certainly are some people that hack. BUT... most great drivers push the limits and have gained mad skills through much dedication and effort.

Oh... I just looked further and there's another post. I'm not sure if it's the same Anonymous guy or not, the IP address doesn't show up unless I click on stuff and I'm not going to do that right now.

The answer is "No". You can't just look at someone speed and decide they're hacking! You have to look at how they took the corner before the end of the straight that you're judging them by. If you enter a corner wrong... you exit it wrong and your speed on the next straight is limited. I spent many hours getting better at Monza to prove the point to myself. I had to brake earlier at some corners, brake later at others, take some corners wider, take other corners straighter, etc, etc, etc. It's a lot of work!

Racing is far more complicated than just what you see on a speedometer at a given moment.

Keep in mind that what you see in my videos and many people's videos is our best run. On really hard stages, I can invest several hours to get that one short good run. I make mention of this often in my descriptions.

In general, I fail more than I succeed. I probably tried stage 7.4 100 times for that one awesome run I had!!!
