Ridiculous Road Rules!

I posted this over on Criterion Games forum, but it got locked pretty quickly and without a response from Criterion, so I am ranting here instead!

This is what I posted:

I was racing around trying to beat online speed Road Rules yesterday, and to my surprise I was Silver on Warren!!!

Cool! I thought, so I tried to beat my own time, which Xandu then beat, so I had to beat him again and I got a 3.73 which can still be improved on a bit I think.

Then I thought about trying to Gold the road, so I entered Showtime to give it a go, ofcourse I didn't beat the score, so I went back to try again.

Then when I cycled through the road rules my Silver was gone??!! in it's place was a Red road sign with a time of 5.30????

Today's best was still showing my time of 3.73, so why had the road been reset and where was my time????

Is the limit of Warren set to 5 seconds or below? It is a very short road and easy to do in less then 5 seconds, so why is the limit set to such a low level?

I was glad that the Road Rules were reset to get rid of the impossible 0.0001 times, but come on... Who can't beat 5 seconds on Warren???

I just really don't get why the times are set the way they are?

I thought the point was to stop the glitchers, but it has basically made it pointless for a lot of roads.

The limit should be set on the theoretical top speed of the fastest car in the game going on the shortest possible line on the road and then halving it! or at least taking a chunk off for head room.

Right now (especially on Warren) it feels like it is the Cavalry's best time as set by the least experienced game player in the Criterion Games office! 

This was spread over 2 posts in the same thread, I have put them together so you get an idea of the flavour of the thread, I guess I got a bit angry which might be why it was locked.

Another poster said there was duplicate topic in the Troubleshooting forum, but when I went to look for it, there was another similar topic which was also locked… maybe this has been mentioned a lot and that is the reason for the lockage.

I really hope that Criterion Games reset the Road Rule limits to a more realistic level, as it really takes the FUN out of it when a legitimate time is not counted.
