Hi David:
Do me a favor and go to
http://home.cwnet.com/randallc/gp2setup/index.html
Log onto the newsgroup, read a few posts and tell me the League
members aren't having fun.

        All I can do is expect that the individual who joins has some
integrity. It's obviously naive to expect that no one will cheat, but
those who do really won't know whether they are the best in the league or
not. So they just end up fooling themselves in the league competition, as
they usually do with every other aspect of their lives. At this point I
feel GP2 leagues are basically made to compare times, at the scheduled
race, in an organized fashion with as many other people as possible. Then
after maybe discuss their race strategy or the real F1 race with another
individual in the league. Everyone wants the fastest times granted, but
until a foolproof method to check times is developed you must enjoy the
leagues as they are.  

        Maybe try a new league

        Hopefully the poeple who join this league have some integrity.

It is pretty easy to tell if someone has hacked GP2 to cheat. Dave
Gymer's HOF2LAP program can be used to show what the BHP level used is.
If the replay has been hacked to contain a different value then the
hotlap won't run.

AFAIK it is effectively impossible to hack a GP2 hotlap or saved game to
cheat in that manner without being found out.

There are always other ways of cheating, but if people are really that
pathetic then that's their problem.

Cheers,
Richard

As long as your having fun, thats all that really matters. Its just
harder to have fun when
you practice hour on end only to find out your times are beaten by
dweebs that really havent
mastered how to run the "fast" line and dont have anything else better
to do than start chopping up the original files.

I agree with what you've said BUT the league is all about having fun,
it's not SERIOUS.  Yeah it's competitive and some people will cheat but
they should feel quilty about that.  There's no prize for winning just
satisfaction and if someone cheats how can they feel satisfied that they
are the best driver??

If you take a look at the GP2 Racing League web site and ng it's all
about the fun the drivers have.
