Yes it requires skill and could well be fun to do, but it would be tough to argue that the game is meant to be played like that . The game is obviously not real, but exploits like this take it too far from what would happen in reality. It makes old times out of date and creates two tiers in the tables perhaps. I don`t blame people for doing it to compete, but to me it`s an unforeseen and very unfortunate change in the game. It`s a shame because the press select to cancel a lap option seemed a good idea to start with. Oh well, another way in which wipeout hd is broken.
