POLL: The Time Trials are filled with Cheaters (multi-PSN users)?

[Hastatus]

Well tonight I went back to the Time Trial from a couple of weeks ago before it dissapeared to see where I was for laughs and BAM... a bunch of new cars. But what caught my attention was the GTR-R GT500 Stealth in the Tsukaba race and the whole slew of people from France with this car. Ok so maybe they have a lot of Stealth models in Europe, fine. But then I looked at the names and I starting thinking is it a coincidence that I noticed 7 guys from France with both the Stealth model AND the PSN starting with GT5rs_xxxxxxx. Maybe these are different people, but it did get me to thinking about whether it was possible for a single person to use just the right car and get top times on all his accounts (2, 5, 6, 14, 18, 22, 40, ... France, Stealth model, PSN "GT5rs_xxxxxxx").

You could be right, ... but the large number of people with the same rare car...I guess they can actually share cars legitimately now though...

The Stealths are not that rare! All with the signature edition have them, as I do and maybe it is a good car for it.

Quick google search brings up a french GT5 fansite - http://www.gt5rs.com/
Further searches hint at them using GT5rs tags for online racing as I already guessed.

And it is quite likely that they are sharing the cars between themselves (or can you not share stealth/chrome cars?)

You can probably share the DLC cars the same way you can share any DLC with a friend. You activate one account on both PS3s, you buy the DLC on said account and download it on both PS3s. Everyone on the PS3 should be able to use the DLC.

Nevermind I completely failed to realize that you can now just use HP limiters and ballast to get cars in now. I was thinking that they rubberbanded the Stealths to wear them out and lower the HP which I hoped would be a rare thing to do. I guess the French just have a higher proportion of the best drivers.

Hello
I'm moderator on GT5rs and i read on gtplanet everyday,but when i read that There are no cheaters on time trial s with our drivers,we 're an association who defend the fairplay attitude so cheat forbidden..!!.And for the top times it's just a big team of drivers and some of us are very fast 👍.And for the GT500 stealth,we have a lot of drivers and many of us have bought the Signature Edition and the contest just upside (link by kaori) ,thats the answer.

Thanks and see u online or on GTPlanet

Welcome to GTP, LiLFaF. 👍

For the record, GT5rs is a very respectable GT community. 👍

I feel that it's somewhat disrecpectful to associate GT5rs in a topic about possible cheating, so to address this I'm closing the thread.
