In OMP, if I pass the leader, a few yards from the finish line, I still come in second. However, if I'm in first and another driver gets within 20 yards, they're likely to win the race. In another, non-related thread, somebody mentioned there's about a .5 second lag, in OMP races.

I'm not technically well versed in programming so can somebody explain the lag time to me, in layman's terms?
