I've just watched some these videos and although I say Driveclub is a arcade game I do think it's gone to easy to get away with stuff, I noticed that driving off track was gaining time few months ago and tweeted rushy, he did say he will look into it, however the big problem you have now is if they change stuff and make the game follow strict TT settings, all the leaderboards will need resetting, I actually don't mind that, I remember when project reset there's I was fuming untill I played it and every corner cut was fixed, i agree that if you run or hit a wall and the slow down kicks in it should invalidate your time, I know on Oliver's landing you can actually deliberately get a slow down to get a faster time if done properly, I mentioned the slow down or hitting a wall should instantly invalidate your time a few times in the past, but 1 thing people need to remember is Driveclub is a arcade game, it's not a simulation like project cars etc, so I can understand them being bit softer with penalties etc, but I think maybe it's gone bit to soft to help the less skilled out.
