Does anyone actualy know the difference between the two game modes? I see on the 64 site there's a very percise conversion factor. Where did that come from?

This has seemed like a forbidden topic, but I am really curious 'bout a couple things. It seems like the only differences are in 50hz the clock and the kart move 20 percnet slower (and the mt's aswell). But the top speed on 50hz is 100km = 62. 2mph. While the top speed on 60hz is 70mph. This is only 12.5 percent faster though, but maybe the the real speed in 60hz is a bit faster to compensate for the increased reaction time in 50hz???

If any body knows, or knows how to find out. That would be kewl

Here's something interested that kind of got me thinking: In the top 100 right now there are 28 ppl playing 50 hz (including mixed ofcourse), that's 28 percent....obviously. And in the top 20 there are 12 ppl playing 50hz, that's 60 percent (more than double)

Some of those "top 20" people playing 50Hz might be doing it so that they can tape since they've been asked for a proof call, and taping in 60Hz doesn't work particularly well. So those players could well end up accustomed to 50Hz and start to use it exclusively, rather than go back and forth.

Was pretty much guessing the speedometer didn't mean anything.
