dunno if it has come up yet:
it'd be good to have a server mode, which would check for HLVC and submit the best lap to the server, or at least you could use it to save the replay and upload as hotlap.
Hotlapping is boring, would be better done with others :-)

Acually one thing I can think of as a no-no:
It's possible to use the draft of others to pull insane laps....

Any ideas how to solve that part?

Well, I think the main reason for HLVC is that you canīt use slipstreams from other players, no wind too, neither taking advantage of track cuts, etc. It`s you and the track. i know its sometimes boring but you can allways race online with others (so you can archive a new PB) but then get some laps in HLVC to get in the world rank.

The matter comes from the fact that we need to upload a hotlap for every league race - for starting position. And if it's a weak one, it's only good for a lower division of the four (we have around 70 entries for each race). So one needs to hotlap quite a bit :-)
But I just realized that online one could 'clean up' the track - eg clean some of the stacked tyres in chicanes and such - for the next racer...so it's not good at all. :-(
