WSD, that race was meant to test the performance of your PC and your ping. It's been noted that anything below 7 seconds is a hack or a mod. If you don't believe me then check the specs of the guy you just beat (mooman) and you'll understand why we're so bitchy about this.
I believe he has 2 GTX 295 cards and a GTX 285 for PhysX, plus some quad core @ 3.6?
