Personally, I think the staggered starting positions Vs end 'time' results are flawed, and contribute heavily to some of the incorrect race results. What do you mean “timed results”? I thought the “races” were live and the times were your actual time for the race without any manipulation? The clock starts when the race starts. So if you are in eighth, you have to cover more distance than the guy at the front of the grid.

I think what he means by timed though is the server verification at the end of the race. It doesn't take the place that you finished relative to others on your device, it simply takes your time, compares the 8 times and ranks you accordingly. I understand that, as with any race, the person in first has an advantage but I’m still (possibly more) confused by your explanation of comparing the racers’ times! Unless you’re saying that the other players displayed on my device could have incorrect positions because of network/latency issues? I accept that though it does make the idea of online racing rather pointless.
