It says it was performed on PS3 Emu. How was this achieved? Are there ways to have netplay on PC to PSN or is there something I'm missing?

I remember back in the day, before the design overhaul of the website, if you went to the "users" page, you could see the number of games and categories a user ran, thanks to a dedicated "leaderboard" which kept track of users with most games and most categories ran. I don't know if this feature is still there, I am unable to find it at the moment so I assume it was just removed.

Are there plans to bring back that, maybe in each user's page? Currently it's full of other useful statistics in the "about (user)" section, and I think it could be improved with this little addition.

So...what is technically considered "last race"? The one that triggers the "You are the US champion" I suppose?

I've seen that the original 2002 game has that kind of leaderboard, so wouldn't it be great if there was a similar level leaderboard for both races for this game aswell?
