NR2003 Driving Aid Detection

Every single weakness in the game engine has been fully exploited. AIDs
dont make you faster per se but they do give a distinct advantage. Fuel
savings and tire wear come to mind first. If you use aids you should pay a
speed penalty not gain advantages.

For anyone that wants a FAIR race using driving skills instead of
exploitation skills then NR2003 isnt an option any more.

I went to a LAN event a few years back and it was funny to all of a sudden
see some of the fastest guys day iin and day out were all of a sudden
running in the back of the field at the LAN. Coincidence? I dont think so.

I have to disagree with you - I think the racing is fair in relation to
driver skills.
