Toca Hot Laps

I have just visited the Codemasters site to look at the Hall of Fame and was somewhat surprised to see that one guy was regularly 5 or 6 seconds a lap quicker than anyone else? What's this guy on, is he cheating? I have just spent a whole evening driving around Croft getting faster and faster, flat out everywhere possible and on the edge everywhere else. Still I can't get within 6 seconds of his time using the same car? Maybe I am just ***or is there a way to make the cars faster? Charlie

Charlie, this has got me puzzled as well. I have made it onto the Codemaster page for Thruxton, but I am 5 seconds behind that bloke. I am at a loss as to where I can find 5 seconds. I would love to see his hot lap. Regards, -- Todd A Norbury URL : http:/www.zeta.org.au/~todd Please remove nospam from email address.

Charlie, I would have to agree with Todd. I've managed to get around Thruxton in 1:06:95 and yet I see this guy who's done around 1m dead. I can't see any way possible - with the standard car - of driving around this track 7s faster given that most of the track is driven flat out. Around Donington GP he's a whopping 12s faster than anybody else. I find it amazing that Codemasters leaves his times posted. Nobody can be THAT much faster than the rest of the world without cheating in some way. John.

>Nobody can be THAT much faster than the rest of the world without cheating >in some way. Anyone got any suggestions as to HOW he is cheating. If you use the XBOOSTME cheat, the game will not give out a checksum, I already tried that. Is it possible to work out the code?

I've only just got the game and my best time at Snetterton was 1m15. Cut a few corners and down to 1m01!! Take the first corner flat, the second lift off, for the left-right section, cut acroos the grass straight after the bridge, across the track, brake, go left of the wall, get on the the track, drive off then just miss the last chicane totally driving across the grass. That was also a far from perfect lap. (Auto gears too) I'm sure that it is possible to do it on other tracks, even if it is not worth 14s! P Whitbread

Yeh, like I said it can only be done by cheating. Try driving on the road - that is the purpose of the game after all. Why do people insist on posting times achieved in a manner that would have them booted out of a real race? What is the satisfaction in doing this?

I was makig the point, that it is possible to gain time by cheating. I'm not going to post I time by cheating. Any 1m01 is still too slow to get in the codemasters HOF. P Whitbread
