United States@Bob-chicken It would make verifying runs for time trials almost impossible, and it would require runs to be submitted in a very specific format.
When verifying trials now, we know about what each car looks like maxxed out, and what is further than that (so hacked or cheated). What we don't have memorized is how every single of the hundreds of default tunes perform. So, if we were tasked with making sure half of the runs are actually using a stock tune, we'd need to run 30 minutes of tests every time we verified a run, just so we know if it is or isn't a stock tune. This would make verifying time trials into a full-time job.
It's easier verifying that scenarios are legit because we only need to be familiar with how the tune in the scenario performs, not how every single tune in the stock game performs.
If we were to make sure only stock tunes are used, we'd need to add a lot of requirements to submitting a run, because we can't just guess what tune someone is using. You'd need to include what tune you use when submitting the run, and we'd probably also require the load in from the main menu to be included with no cuts. That would serve to show that the tuning menu hasn't been used after you loaded in with a stock tune. Or we'd have to require every run open up both the customization and tuning menus and show every single setting so that we can compare it to the tune that ships with the game. Both of these would make running the untuned categories a nightmare, if you couldn't tell.
So, splitting it into categories would make it a very intensive process to verify the "untuned" runs. All of us mods are volunteers. So, I think they'd never get verified.
Why do you think that? That PSI seems about right for a stage 3 turbo tuned up to max.
