Nottinghamshire, England5.10 was done by Keeganator after i started the history of the game's speedrunning
Its been several months and theyre still not done since i last run the game
On the 5th of August this year, I set 3 new world record in a fully continuous 9 minute video recording for the scenario 'Police Patrol' of 18.25, 17.75 and finally 17.25 (with a successful run of 18.50 shortly after the 18.25) after i had realised not long after starting to record the speedrun session that i could pit the suspect at around the 10 second mark on the in-game timer. 8 days later (13th August), King had rejected my times for the following reason: 'Decreased gameplay performance is affecting the AI behavior, after doing some testing it seems like slow AI reaction times caused from low framerate(sub 20FPS) is allowing the chase vehicle to catch up far too soon when compared to a run where the FPS consistently remains above 20. Due to this reason, the submission will be rejected.'
After what i admit was a somewhat heated debate on the run, King had basically said that, because of the game was running slower than it should and it had been running on a framerate slower than 20fps, AI performance was slower allowing for the possibility of me catching up. I uploaded a video showing 3 lots of runs i had done on Beam. These were the first ever run i submitted to the leaderboards on the 'Small Island Chase' scenario, my previous world record of 44.75 uploaded on the 31st of May and my new world record which was right after i installed the update from just before the 5th August.
The SMC run was recorded on a laptop that i used at the time and isnt that good in framerate with some stutters. The 44.75 run clearly shows it has a lower framerate than the 17.25 but was verified to the same ruleset as the 17.25. I pointed out that there was an update and that i believe it was that that had caused this since before that it was pretty much impossible to even touch the suspect but its easy to pit the car now after that update.
The discrepancy lies within a record that was verified approximately 20 hours ago by Mattcalz and was verified by King. It was submitted on the 25th of September and was verified on the 29th. I was surprised to see that the time was lower than my record and as i viewed it, i noticed it was the exact same situation of catching up early and using the strat i used of pitting the car into a tree on the left-hand side, however it was cleaner in my opinion. How can this run be verified when it is very similar to my run from almost 2 months earlier? It cant be framerate/game performance like my run since the framerates were similar and the game performance were also similar. I could not see any other reason for why this is so. I am confused on how this discrepancy exists on these leaderboards and my run to be rejected when a very similar run in most aspects was verified with the same ruleset.
So when will there be a category/change to existing categories to fit the new 2022 rerelease?
Over the next undetermined period of time i will be looking through past rejected runs and verifying ones that were once rejected due to past retiming rules and other things that made the runs wrongly rejected.
I will also be adding to a log of offenses of people who have broken rules that are above a certain degree.
As you might have heard, some leaderboards and communities have banned JayPin88 after he got unbanned from the src site. I have decided that i will not follow those communities. JayPin88 will not be banned from submitting a run to the GT Pro Series leaderboards and any other leaderboards of which i am a moderator of. However, a time period, of which i have not decide on a length, may be placed on when he starts submitting new runs with extra steps to prove the legitimacy of the runs he submits to the GT Pro Series' and any other games' leaderboards I moderate.
Due to a long line of submissions from some games submitted runs may take a long while to be verified and may not be verified in the 3 week period the site usually states. I will get to verifying the submissions but it will take time until i can see them on the submission page.

I decided to look online once again to see if there was anything to do with world records in this game and i found an old forum post on a small website witha guy claiming a 2:57.210 for Thrilling Harbour and another guy responding in 2012 with a 2:50.xxx while no proof exists now,what do you think of this?
The only way to be able to get a time under a mi ute is by hoping you find a tank driving on the streets before going into the first alleyway after the payphone with the tank mission that leads to the alleyway between the stadium and the car park, as this will save on Disgrace's wr about 15 seconds and with better movement before this and luck with traffic then a low 0:5x is possible but the luck....
Due to looking at r3nt's runs, it has been found that all runs r3nt has submitted and somehow got verified have used a fuel hack and have been removed from the leaderboards. There have been 39 runs that have been removed and the leaderboards that once contained these runs will be minorly effected.
If anyone notices or thinks that a run is not legitimate then please either say about it here in the forums or on the discord and tagging a moderator.
What should i do with the sound when doing runs that involve the boss fight?
Anyone wanna be crazy enough to do anything ingame blindfolded?
I think you should add each minigame seperately and do it based off scores(ecept those where you can actually do a fast time)
I think we need to prevent Meegz from taking over the HCR leaderboards so i think we should make the Hill Climb Racing Anti Meegz Take Over Squad
Due to there being a backlog of submissions, there will be longer wait for the verification of said submissions that may grow if the number of new submissions grows. There is no restriction on submitting new runs but there will be a longer wait.
Typically NTSC and PAL would have similar front box design with the title text colour being blue for NTSC and PAL being red. On the back of the disc case, NTSC and PAL will have 2 of the same screenshots while the 3rd on the NTSC box art not being similar to the other 2 screenshots on the PAL case. Also the layout ln the back is also different
