Okay - I can rule out (1)



I basically found someone I'd smashed on lap 1 and then pushed him back towards the start-line. Didn't bother going the whole way, so it should be possible to get a higher time (depending on your patience for running the clock up and pushing a car back).

BTW I don't think this is academic - because it basically confirms how they actually do the time calculation when you don't win. It also explains why you can get a 2 lap where the total time is less than double the "best time" (because they only track "best lap" while you're still racing). And it also explains why you think you're "only just ahead" of someone, and yet the time seems to suggest a bigger gap (because it's averaged they're not actually "coming down the straight").

And FTR - here's the 0:00.000
