The positioning of the ghost avatar relates to the angle from your car to the ghost. When you are very close to the ghost, even slight deviations in line will result in the ghost avatar switching between far left and far right. It's no conspiracy, just geometry. If I remember correctly, I think Matt said he wrote the code when he was a developer and data is recorded at a different frame rate than the actual run, so it sounds like your description is accurate. Still does not change the actuality that at no point do I zig-zag in any race. But yet my ghost does. How can that be a "close representation"? If it was a "close representation" then the ghost would follow the line that it was recorded doing. Nothing to do with BoldStatement about frame rate, slight deviations(what, people dont practically repeat the same race lines over and over in WTT?) trying to rationalize the irrational.
