GPLRank: mistake/accidental cheat

I uploaded my F3 times to GPLRank this morning and was shocked that I had improved by about 7-8 seconds more than I was expecting. (I don't have the engine swapper) I think I know how it happened - I ran some laps at Mexico on VROC the other day, intending to use an F2 car with my F2 name, but must have selected my F3 name by mistake. Anyway, how do I restore my old F3 Mexico time (I have it written down). It's nice to zoom up in the rankings, but not like this! Cheers Ray Bryden PS I didn't realize it was so easy to cheat in GPLRank! I could've run the Ring in an F2 and nobody would have been the wiser...

Edit the player.ini and delete the line containing the bad time. You can't restore it. rms [email hidden]

You're not allowed to edit the times manually. Harsh, but them's the rules. -- David.

Sure it's easy, just like it's easy to go around telling huge lies about yourself in real like. But it isn't very satisfying, and it's ultimately self destructive. I'm emailing you about your situation. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C. GPLRank -5.09 Come see how you rank, at the GPLRank site http://gplrank.ringlord.com/

Yeah, my F2 times at the Ring are almost as good as my F1s, but that would be BAD (say it like George Bush SR) Not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent. SLG (Everything I need to know I learned from the presidents, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman") [email hidden] (Don Scurlock) wrote:
