Well, the argument about alternate controllers hasn't been opened yet.

And my point with the speed mod was that it was exterior aid, you weren't pitching down, the tape was for you.
For the alternate controller, I hardly see the exterior aid: you still have to drive your ship around the track. And NegCon functions essentially the same as the analog stick, you could be as precise as a PS3 NegCon with the analog stick if you ever practised enough

But sure, according to the rules of the site, which I quoted some posts back in this thread, it wouldn't be valid.
