New contests at the contests site, in these four new patch contests
you are allowed to use this mod.com patch, but if you want to get it,
get it elsewhere, I won't distribute it :)

Got my computer fixed and can now continue updating the site more
regularly. Also my mail etc work just fine.
Then a few words
about this "patch" or "mod.com". You've probably heard of it or
even tried it but in case not, it's a patch which enables you to
finish tracks without taking any apples and rotate like hell. See,
I've driven e.g. Uphill Battle down to 6,39. This patch causes
several problems to some list keepers like for example total times
lists, since anyone can easily drive very-close-to-wr-times and that
way cheat on totals or other things. That's why I've had to freeze
the Total times top-20 list and average times top-3 list for a while
until I mamage to find out a good solution.
My honest opinion is
that you really should not play Across with that patch. I know
it's great fun at first, but if you play it for let's say hour, two
or more, you totally lose the touch to normal Across. I myself tried
to play Flat Track after some time with patch and got 22,30
:)
