Proof System
All submissions to the leaderboard require some form of proof depending on the quality of the record. This page explains the ground rules and proof requirements for submitting times.
Ground Rules
Cheat Clause
Records must be made without cheats or Action Replay. Playing with save states, cheat engine, or other TAS tools is strictly forbidden.
Allowed Platforms
Records must be performed on PS1, PS2, or PS3 hardware. PSP, PS Vita, and other Sony systems are not permitted.
Zord Clause
Mixing PAL CTR with a modified NTSC (U/J) Slim PS2 (or vice versa) is discouraged. Such records face potential deletion pending investigation.
Emulator Policy
Only Bizhawk and Mednafen emulators are permitted, and exclusively for livestreamed attempts. Any offline emulator use results in rejection and potential bans. All other emulators are forbidden.
Proof Levels
Level 1 - Photo Proof
Submit a photo displaying the record in the high scores screen with your name visible on the TV screen.
Level 2 - Video Proof
Present a video confirming no emulator use, your name in the high score screen, and no cheating. This can include restart sequences, third-lap footage, or ghost races.
Level 3 - Complete Video
Full driving footage showing the complete record, techniques used, and restart or ghost proof sequences.
Level 4 - Live Stream
Mandatory for Bizhawk and Mednafen emulator records only. Must be streamed live on platforms such as Twitch or YouTube Live.
