I'm not sure about this, but I suspect those 'incredible' lap times we seen from the net are from 'human cars' that have more than 790/780 hp. We know that there are 3rd party programs that allow hp to be edited - to as much as 1000 hp. Is this true? Anyone got any ideas?

Anyone got any ideas? Hi! I'm upkeeping ICR2 Hotlap list at http://stekt.oulu.fi/~mickkeys/icr2/times.html I know it's possible to cheat in many ways, but I'm sure that _most_ of the times in my list are real (I guess it's possible to edit RPY files somehow). Driving an amazing lap is up to _excellent_ setups, some skill, good driving device and the most important: _hundreds of laps_ and calm mind. There's some of my times: Phoenix 190.490mph, Portland 58.167, Nazareth 191.484mph I got my Portland time from 58.8 to 58.167 in about 4 to 6 hours of practising. -- __________________________________________________________________ Mikko "MickKeys" Paavola Studying Information Engineering Rakentajantie 5 D 202 in The University of Oulu 90570 OULU, FINLAND

Serious hotlap competitions like Dave Gymer's HOF2 (search Alta Vista for hof2) check the laps, by means of software and/of viewing and analysing the replays. So most of those "incredible laps" you see are for REAL!

I think they are all real. By the way, I have some worldclass record times that are close to the world record and are worth mentioning. At Taladega, in an IndyCar in ICR2, I qualified second in a Single Race at 248.993 MPH. The world record is 250.851 MPH.

Does that mean I am the new record holder? -David Gary-
