Hopefully, every video entry will have a fair chance of winning now. As a side note, those terms and conditions (although appear very professional in bulk) can be pulled apart every easily. For example, according to some points, we all should have been disqualified because the video's had to be composed in 2008 - and we all made them in 2009. 'Mod' was not defined and could have meant 'Ministry of Defence', nor was 'rFactor', as a game, defined anywhere inside the document. We rightfully could have entered a GTR2 promo or something completely different lol! Albeit it would have been a pointless exercise. The rules are just there as a basic legal cover for the promoter nearly 100% of the time in these cases, which is strange because all T&C seems to do is make it even easier for anybody to prosecute at will, especially if the document happens to be poorly written, but it can still be taken at taken at varying levels of significance.

It would be a real shame if it missed out on the top 10 because it included a 2009 release mod :( As for the track conversions, well, if those are to be excluded then so should those with copyrighted sound tracks.

That said, you taking the high road regarding speculation etc about your entry not being included in final voting group deserves even more credit. Tough one to take I'm sure - but sometimes so is life itself. Keep up the great work! XaliaS – sorry to hear it – if your’s is the vid F1Racer linked to its outstanding.

Including links to the Youtube version which was uploaded after I submitted the hi-res link before the deadline.

First, it includes the Porsche 935 which was released in 2009, the videos were meant to show off the mods released in 2008 though. And using an illegal Simbin conversion track in the video is maybe not the smartest idea either. I´m just guessing though.... :weird: I see a couple of potential reasons why the video that F1Racer linked may have not been included.
