Question [XBOX] Maclaren F1 in PGR2?

Ok, I'll bite. Whilst finishing off PGR2 last night I noticed that on the XBL scoreboard for Kudos that someone was using a Macca F1.

Is this just a case of some enterprising/sad (take your pick ) user hacking the code to change the name of an existing car, or does, somewhere, the F1 exist?

I've got both booster packs and it's not there, plus I've completed it with platinum medals in all events, and got the Cerbera Speed 12.

Methinks it's some hack, or am I wrong?

I'm pretty sure the Xbox live username is Maclaren F1 not the car

Although I could be wrong.

Ah ok, now I feel a pillock! lol

As for these top scores, very intresting to watch how they get them, oh, let's see, I side there pulling powerslides to get massive Kudos. Hmm, now maybe that is "skill" but to me it smacks of "cheating" or at least exploiting the Kudos mechanisim.

What do you reckon?

I downloaded and watched a ghost by one of the top chaps, as I was curious as to how on earth he got some silly Kudos score for the Ultimate speed camera event. Hmm, sit's there spinning for 80 percent of the time, then races off to the speed camera. hmm, not convinced.

Everyone has the same chance to score Kudos. Have you done the M3 cone challenge yet on platinium ?
