Decided to watch the big dogs to see if I could learn a bette line so decided to ghost challenged the current leader (surprise) Rudatan, but his ghost was unavailable due to "network error" - same foe the guy in 3rd but the guy in 2nd loaded up just fine. Kari-Uwe W. and we are just a smudge over 1 second alert. Annnnnnd go!

Instantly I notice three things: a) the "pitch" of the sound in the game is very slightly higher, b) the ghost of his car appears 3/4 of the way around the track already (race hasn't even green lit yet) and c) the split timer in my upper left corner starts going green... fast... at the second corner I'm 25 seconds ahead. Not .25 I said twenty five. My FU corvette finish my 33 second lap almost 2.5 minutes ahead of his BMW M3. I ran 33 instead of my usual 32 because I was taken aback, I've done this several times just now. Feel free to try yourselves.

Wtf is going on?
