About Those World Records....
1. How is it possible for the game to say my best lap on a track is, for example, 24 seconds, but that the world record is 57 seconds?

2. What is the point of the game keeping stats if the stats are so wildly inaccurate? That's really just wasting RAM.

Not sure how that system works, to be honest. It seems accurate enough when it comes to the best PB among your friends and your own but the other I think doesn't get updated at all anymore.

Considering the game's age, that makes sense. Thanks, Talon.

Question: Have you gotten around 40 seconds on the Rally Trophy Special Stage? That one still baffles me because it's normally a 5 to 6 minute long track. I think some glitch makes lap times appear absurdly short on there.

Usually this sort of world records lists are cheated and hacked in all games, making them meaningless, except for those whose game is to make the record in whatever way possible. I imagine them having good time.

No, I haven't. I don't like that track cause it takes too damn long.

In this case, I'm pretty sure it's a result of a glitch. The most cheaty thing I have is a mod that disables vehicle damage that I run sometimes when I really don't feel like wrecking and just want to race or drive.

Most of the other lap times I've seen on other tracks are feasible.

Okay, Talon, ever since you mentioned that track I've been getting more and more curious, so I finally went and checked this morning. According to what the game is showing me, the best lap records on the Rally Trophy (Special Stage) track for a Class 'A' banger race is...

Me: 00:23.324
World: 00:48.832
Friends: 06:18.448

That's not a typo. I have supposedly run this track in 23.3 seconds with a Class 'B' car.

My guess is that the length of the track messes with the clock for some reason (not too surprising, seeing as how the average length of most entire races is shorter than a single lap of Rally Trophy). I've also noticed that the leaderboard shows incorrect times between cars while racing by something like a factor of ten, though I haven't mathed it. It'll show an 0.1 second gap when it's more like a 1-second gap, etc.

Reminded that during the first lap on the Rally Trophy Special Stage, it'll show the AI as being a second in front and behind you. Once you finish that first lap, the distance will be shown correctly.
