While I know what I provided doesn't make everyone happy and especially me, I agree with MovingChicane on many points in his post (by the way, nicely worded). We used these to catch up to certain individuals that use more extensive exploits. And like he posted, I never once touched the LeMans hack/exploit because it's how I'm wired. Plus, the possibilty of a ban if far worse than the potential of the huge gain of using a major hack (which now is supposedly fixed too).

While the restore was a great work around, we all used it or those of us who knew about it. At some point you know FM was going to figure out a way to make some money. They're hoping that instead of us patientely waiting for servicing and the drive to refill, that we'll spend the $ to VIP the car. That's my honest guess at the change and, sadly from a business perspective, it makes business sense. We don't have to agree but it "is what it is".

I believe you'll still be able to use the work around. But the moment you have a good run or your "best run" you'll need to save and be petient and wait for servicing and refilling drive. Otherwise, I believe restoring will still be an option on crappy or DQ run (now I guess you'd say penalized time run).

The bummer for me is that when I'm in a rthym, running really good times consistently, if I hit the best time on that last "drive", now I have to sit and wait for it to refill, which is at minimum 15 minutes for one refill. Whereas before, I could jump back in, restore and keep the rhythm going. I know 15 mintues isn't a long time but it's enough to screw things up. So that's my only gripe.


 * The key is making sure your time above the car matches the time on the leaderboard so you get the best possible ranking. As I mentioned, if it's higher time above the car, I'm 99.9% sure that'll be the time they use for your rank. By the end of the week we'll know. I did some decent testing on the new time trial with the updated release so I should have a good idea and I'll do my best to follow up.

I also posted under the current time trial post if you want to see other posts in regards to this
