Not so easily in N4. Unless the "cheaters" game files match the servers
_exactly_ , he's sol. I know people who can run faster in fixed setups and
blow anybody off any track at any time, even if they're using open setups,
and can guarantee they're not cheating(I'm one of those getting blown away
fwiw :)
Hardware can make a small difference, especially a big monitor, but just
as in actual racing, some are better than others.
