Shortcut or not it’s a faster way around the circuit, so that deserves some props. Cheating has always been a big part of Motorsport so it’s not like it’s something that’s unheard of in the sport, it’s a method to win. Getting bested is hard for anyone to handle, I think we can all understand that one.

Y'all's gotta chill out, if you don't like the shortcuts don't take them. I don't. But this is just like a Speedrun of any other video game, it's for records, not realism, or honor, or enjoyment.

[@Mike_to_the_k]

The “or enjoyment” 😂

[@Mandarin9900]

Yeah, this is just showing the possibilities inside a video game, literally just a computer program (and all computer programs have faults) You can also not use these possibilities and take the whole game as seriously and realistically as possible, which is the intended way to go, sure. This is just the hobbyist part of the video game side, many people find enjoyment and excitement in finding exploits in video games. This video game just happens to contradict the racing sim aspect, as obviously this wouldn't be possible IRL, or in a perfect sim. It's unusual to see video game exploits which are unnatural and unrealistic in a Racing Simulator trying to be as realistic as possible. So many people act as if they got hurt or something...

[@patrickwhite4449]

@@Mandarin9900 no. People aren’t acting like they are hurt. They are being aggressive in voicing their displeasure but I agree with them. Why make a simulator game that allows exploits so people can get records without having the skill to do it right. Then when he developers remove things like this, those people start bitching about the devs taking away their fun, cuz it’s only fun if your cheating…… they don’t do it in real rallies so why do it in a game that emulates real rallies? Buy dirt 5 and do all that crap you want

I mean, I get it, its a game and all that but it just feels like it goes against the spirit of the thing, ya know? I dunno, maybe I'm just a silly purist but there should be time penalties for such blatant cuts, especially when world records and such are in the mix. Unpopular opinion I'm sure. I'm just a controller user who's happy to break the 100's from time to time so I guess I can feel good I'm even getting there if this is what the toppers are doing. Appreciated video nonetheless, I'd be down for more of them. Keep loading videos, I'll keep watching them.

[@Forza77Samir]

There are some corners that dont allow cutting. But still, the leaderboards are ruined by these shortcuts. So hopefully with this video (series) you guys will get closer to the top of the leaderboards :)

[@socks2441]

yeah, i completely agree with you. i do want to get top times, but i also play it for the fun/ sense of rally, i just prefer to go around a corner rather than cutting it. maybe i will start doing this, maybe i wont. i cant really make up my mind. wish the devs had done a better job of preventing corner cutting so we didnt have to deal with this dilemma, lol

[@jonnie2bad]

@@kay94 nah i got a top 20 with a controller and no cuts like 3 days ago

[@Tyhikastija]

@@dimitris.4484 Nope. You need to follow the road book. There are so many examples from top level rallying where drivers have been penalised for excessive corner cutting. Driving around gates (or a small forest) and stuff like that. I think that the rule of thumb (at least in WRC) is that you need to have at least one wheel on the road. That's why I stay on the road. Leaderboards doesn't matter if you're having fun.

[@mustafahussam9616]

Actually, cutting in rally is perfectly allowed, if it's not too excessive, and as someone here eloquently mentioned, IRL you need to have at least one wheel on the "road" - as it were.

[@Hillclimbfan1990]

I'm always kind of impressed that people actually figure all of this stuff out. It's a weird kind of dedication to finding the limits, or cheating if you look at it like that.

[@Spiderhip]

You should see the creativity on Trackmania games. Even years after, people find incredible cuts on different tracks. Even if you don't play it, you can watch it like a documentary from Wirtual's channel. Like this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWXLZoSaYqapZ6s

[@SeaHarrierFA2]

ayo this is exactly what i need, been close to the top of dailies for a while but hadn't really sat down to figure out where some of the extra 5-10 seconds comes off between the top drivers and rank 20

[@RALLYTechnical]

@The Cheese, that extra 5-10 seconds your missing will usually be down to having better racing lines though the stages and having a more capable setup. Players that cut usually end up crashing when they come back onto the stage but sometimes they do get lucky. So cutting is mainly a TT mode thing.

[@UncleShahram]

you may ghost the top 100 and see where do they go if you think they are top due to cutting

[@tormit]

@@RALLYTechnical many cuts are quite safe when you have mastered them.

[@RALLYTechnical]

[@dragancrnogorac3851]

Difference in all those is bigger especially in last case because you carry more speed further away. In last case vas 185 vs 170km/h before jump. So you go faster 15km/h for another 3 seconds which is another 0,5 second save

Ty for the video, i think some cuts are more relevant with RWD cars cause without doing that the first one is a pain in the a$$ just to achieve p3 to p9 depends of the rwd class on time trial. Nearly half of my crashes happened there lol.

I would love if every location ahowed if (and how) they work in reverse. Like the jump near the end of anbank station reverse i believe only works one way. I guess most ppl discover that one by accident xd I would also prefer if you dont show the non shortcut line for every location. Or maybe super fast.

Also make sure to tune the car. Even if its by following someone else's tunings until you have the confidence to know how to tailor it to your driving style.

All is fair in love and war. Racing is a battleground so if there is a way to get an extra quarter second here or there I can't hate on anyone. When going for leaderboard times people don't use pacenotes they just memorize that track in which case it's already not realistic. People take cuts in Baja irl and Lancia has taken cuts in rally irl. If it is in the game its fair in my opinion. It's not modifying the game it's just getting the most out of each track. That's just life.

[@kit-the-kat-skelanimal-plush]

Not cheating. Maybe codemasters should set track limits if shortcuts are cheating. And maybe if codemasters were capable of making a coherent simulation of how a car would react to stuff like this then it wouldn't work as well.
