Given some of the questionable results that have already been posted in prior public RaceNet challenges for Grid AutoSport, how rigorously will CodeMasters police the posted times for this Intel Challenge to prevent invalid entries (due to glitches, cheats, etc.)?

+1 to this. It makes the whole thing pointless if CM don't pull any dodgy results.

We'll be going over the results with a fine tooth comb :)

If these Intel Challenge RaceNet events allow players to use cars they own & upgraded, how are those of us affected by Grid AutoSport's widespread corrupt game save defect (not yet patched on consoles) supposed to have a fair chance with loaner cars against upgraded & tuned cars when we can't build up the credits & XP needed to buy & fully upgrade the required cars before our saves get corrupted?

Week 1 // Open Wheel – Formula B – Time Trial – Jarama...

You've listed this week's Intel Challenge as a Time Trial, but the Open Wheel Formula B RaceNet event at Jarama in this week's Party Mode category currently a Race in-game on the Xbox 360 (not a Time Trial).

I've posted a similar query over in the Grid General Discussion section. It just gets ignored by anyone at Codemasters. I'm really disappointed with how they're handling this so called Competition, if you can even call it that. It's not a fair playing field, everyone knows that.

Noticed that there is a difference in the top times on the Intel Challenge page and the RaceNet challenge page.

https://racenet.codemasters.com/grid-autosport/intel-challenge

https://racenet.codemasters.com/grid-autosport/racenet-challenge#/promotional

Notice how there are some fast times in the RaceNet page that are not featured in the Intel page? Maybe something to do with people who are excluded due to location or whatever. Anyway i think thats as quick as i can get without levelling up more :/

Also noticed the top time on the Racenet page has got to be a cheat, 1:09 a lap? I dont think so.

I want to know what happens if lets say 2 people in the same household and each person on seperate accounts was both in the top ten. Do they both win prizes? Or is that classed as cheating and you have to only do one account per household?  How can you detect people making multiple accounts to win multiple prizes?

I hope the super utes on Mount Panorama give me all the luck I need and that to win the mini pc lol. Just 0.455 secs slower than first easily clawable on the second intel challenge =)
