Check out the top times (and their replays) on the Autocross event leader boards. I wouldn’t call it a hack or software exploit, but people setting the fastest times are intentionally powering through the course with zero regard for most of the cones. This results in an extremely fast time compared to those that attempt to follow the rules of Autocross. It’s rather upsetting, especially for me and others who are attempting to set competitive times in AutoX events.
Yep, every missed gate is an added five seconds. Just watch a handful of the top replays on the rally based AutoX event and you’ll see what I’m talking about…
