Monza lap record 4.80

Yes you read the header right. The other afternoon I logged into one of the online races and got in very late on a practice session, I ran about 3 laps at speed. Figuring I would start the race bringing up the rear I settled into my Lotus***pit and lo and behold.....I'm on the point with a new lap record of 4min. 8sec!!! Obviously this was an online glitch but yesterday I was running around Monza against the AI and after about 5 laps I was still in 20P so I looked at pole time and Clark had ripped off a 122:67 hmmmmmm. I checked the lap record and there was my 4.80, I went to Monza track folder and edited my "fast lap" but I guess the AI didn't seem to see it so without knowing exactly what else to do without butchering the AI I went ahead and reinstalled. Did this just effect my system or is there anyone else online that day who is uncompetetive at Monza?........you might want to check the lap record.

I was running an online practice at Monza today, and a guy called P.Grave got pole at 47.18. Here's the new record: [ Lap Record ] player = P. Grave ; Abbreviated name of record holder time = 47.179996 ; Lap time of record holder Could anyone explain how this is possible. He was driving an Eagle, and it must have been flying :-) -- ICQ #19661434

Engage WARP! I guess you have never raced on TEN/NROS? I have seen 300+ MPH Laps in a Nascar LOL. Bill / Amish on TEN

...warp lap similar to Ten's N2 >I was running an online practice at Monza today, and a guy called P.Grave >got pole at 47.18. Here's the new record: >[ Lap Record ] >player = P. Grave ; Abbreviated name of record holder

Damn. And I thought I had a great online time at 58 seconds. :-) Can't even be #1 at bugs. :-( Jerry Morelock

Clock sync problems on bad connections or overloaded machines. See the Bart Westra

Data stream between N1 computer and Server goes down, and or gets corrupt, Server believes a lap has been completed in an impossibly quick time, that gets whacked in the average speed formula and there ya have it... If you do a 30 second lap of C***te (1.5 miles) your average speed is 180mph. 30 div 60 div 60 is 30 secs in (0.0083r) hours Then take the distance 1.500 and divide by that and ya get MPH 1.500 div 0.0083r = 180. Therefore if ya did a 5 second lap of Tally, or at least the computer thought ya did... 2.660 div (5 div 60 div 60) = 1915.2MPH =))) Computers are dumb, but think about the problems that may arise if some kind of code was put in to discard this... Probably better to leave it and say "well that's technology for ya...." I have seen stupid laps like this in serial N1, where the car somehow pops through the wall and then back again. N1 registered a whole lap when only about 10 metres had been travelled. Hence calculating a sub 5 second flyer. ;)) Thanks, -:[link lost in import]

So the big question is (which I didn't see anyone respond to), do multi-player times effect the Global-Hype system for the AI? -- **************************** Michael E.
