Exploit Scandal

The Exploit Scandal (also called ion bad boys 😠😠😠) is an ongoing sporting scandal caused when multiple instances of drivers using gravity exploits were uncovered, during an investigation by the ION Senior Directors, after various allegations of cheating and hacking from some staff and drivers were made.

The drivers used exploits to change their gravity, in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage over their rivals, in doing so their cars would behave diffirently than normal. All drivers that are known to partake in gravity exploit cheating have been banned from all ION servers.

*Gravity hacking was done as a joke

Proof of Exploiting
Below are screenshots taken by the Senior Directors, in them you can see that the driver highlighted has a gravity higher or lower than the rest of the players in game.









Driver Apologies
On the 23rd of May 2021, Kastrionx, one of the Espirit GP drivers, released a public apology. The apology was recieved with a lukewarm reaction by the community.

"ION Public apology

So recently Fasta just uploaded an announcement exposing multiple exploiters within ION. I’m writing this doc to explain why I have exploited.

I exploited because of Dakair (main reason). It was always impossible to keep up with dak using regular gravity. Dak on mouse simply has better and faster steering than controller players. So what I tried to do was simply keep up with him. In Berlin, I raised gravity by 3 points. I was able to keep up with him for the whole race in which I was excited about. Until Porsche engineers made a call to do attack mode one lap before him causing me to get P2 yet again.

In New York I was only just lucky to not get lapped on the final lap of the race by dakair. Simply all I wanted was to beat dakair on probably the same driving level as him.

In Korea, season 3 in ION F1. I had the best start, leading the first 4 turns, but you have dakair simply out of nowhere just passing by. It has been the case multiple times. For example in Mexico Season 2, leading the first sector then you have dakair passing you sector 3 and nowhere to be seen after a couple of laps.

In season 4 of ION F1 I thought about using gravity simply because of Aerok’s ego team. But there was no point as there were like 4 restarts.

Thanks for the good times" - Kastrionx
