GPL: How to detect Shift-R usage in replays?

We're running a season with regulations prescribing a post-shift-r-lap
pit stop with shifting to reverse, up into fifth, and off you may go
again, i.e., shift-R is permitted but only with this penalty.

The problem is to control the participants' rule compliance. There may
be some cheaters around who do a quick shift-R after spinning beyond
the curb to re-join the race without pitting afterwards.

We tried the Replay Analyzer, however, it only detects shift-Rs
pressed for on-track repairs after damages to the car. Any serious
driver glitch corrected by shift-R that did not damage the car remains
unnoticed.

The only thing you can do is to have a look at suspicious lap times of
the drivers and replay that lap -- a sickening task with 15 drivers!

Is there any reliable detection tool available?

Cheers

Jens

Don't allow anyone who would cheat into your league.  Remember the old Fremen
saying "Do not find yourself in the company of anyone with whom you would not
be proud to die."  The VAST majority of GPL'ers are honorable, the rare
exception will become obvious after a few races.
