@HempyjrThis is over the biggest stinker of all of it. With all the speculation, all racing leagues have now been thrown into doubt. With drivers driving very aggressively towards Ronhaar in PSGL/WOR, it makes the sport look bad. The continuing silence from the eSports organisers and EA/CM show that they aren't willing to talk about the issue and create a platform where everyone can race fairly.
ACC have a similar cheating scandal in parallel to this one at the moment. However, the developer, Kunos have somewhat acknowledged the problem and added a new community manager who is interacting with the community about various other issues too.
I personally think the load cell thing is a ploy. It’s the typical kind of response from a young person that lacks life experience, that is trying to cover up wrongdoing. It’s a weak and obvious excuse to those off us that have been round the block a plenty off times and tried the same weak excuses when we were young
My take: there is no way EA/Codemasters can declare that there weren't issues in the last official eSports when they clearly have a significant number of the top participants highlighting concerns. Nothing can or will be done retrospectively as far as I can see and we need to focus on what happens in the future.

@TotosHeadphonesThe recent incidents with Ronhaar is just crossing the line completely. At the end of the day it is just an allegation and bot proof. If he isn’t cheating then fair play but when you have Jarno being as vocal as he has you have to feel something is there
Totally agree with you. It is an allegation, the on track behaviour and online abuse isn't warranted. But I've said many times before, there is nothing wrong with with being suspicious especially when nothing has been said by the driver to refute the claims, there's some unexplained driving in videos and his peers have been told not discuss the issue while also dropping out of certain competitions.
Would it honestly make any difference if Thomas put out a tweet saying that he wasn't cheating? The only response from him that actually might make any difference to the current situation is if he admitted that he was cheating.
