I said one can use auto finish to make ones situation better. And for that reason You can't believe anyone who says they have gained such and such fame and victory. But to be truthful this is getting a little weird.
I agree that this is getting a little weird...frankly, I still don't agree with you on two points, or maybe I still don't understand you:
1) You can't in fact "use autofinish" to make ones situation better." Because with autofinish you automatically end up in last place, and because any player can easily and safely finish in last place every race without autofinish (by going slow and using "Watch"), autofinish does not in fact make you better off--all it does is save time. If my leader is in trouble, all I have to do to save him is slow down, and Watch, which will put me in last place, just like autofinish.
2) As described in the previous point, using autofinish doesn't in fact give any advantage, and you don't win any victories at all coming in last place, you won't get much fame and victory doing this.
