ICR2 Best Times, Best Setups and Replays [info!]

I'm working on developing a public IndyCar2 World Record chart which doesn't have anything to do with the implementation of ridiculous ivga-type software. There will be world records for all 15 "stock" IndyCar2 tracks. (Maybe Nascar tracks also, depending on interest.) Each record holder will have the option to have his replay and/or car setup made public and accessible to everyone interested. This will certainly help anyone who is struggling with any track. [I realize how frustrating the game can be when you cannot find a good setup!!] All IndyCar2 drivers are encouraged to post a message (or email me) with your best results at each track. Please include the following: -Track and Time (in seconds, even for ovals) -Driver's Name -Nationality -Chassis/Engine/Tire combination -Temp. in degrees Depending on interest, I will be posting updates every few weeks or so.

What??? Uhh... I don't think anyone would be that competitive about it... Josh Beaulieu

I agree - if anyone wants the record that badly, let them have it. THEY will know they cheated and the record is worthless, where's the glory in that? Anyway, don't anyone kid themselves that the IVGA software is unhackable. It will deter the casual hacker but is easy prey for the professional. Anything written by a human can be broken by a human. Better just to leave it open to the honour system and let people police themselves. I'll certainly send my hotlaps to your page Josh, they should be good for a laugh if nothing else ;) Cheers! John PS - Send me the URL and I'll include a link to it in the Sim magazine I'm working on. _________________________________ __ _____| |_____ __ _________| |__| :| John Wallace | |__| |_________ \ :| |::| :| Team WW Racing TSW | |::| | / > :| |::| :|_________________________________| |::| | < / :|__|::|____:/ -=Ayrton Senna=- \.____|::|__| \ /_______:/ \::/ Racing is in my ***, it's part of me \::/ \._______\
