The problem is the goal is not the same as race result. You start off about 400 m from the start line (Lap 0) but it's actually a 1 lap cup race and not a drag race. The game script calls it 'an improvised four way drag race' to define the goal objective. However, if you do not finish the race and quit at any time, you'll see that the cars don't stop at the start/ finish line like they normally would, in a drag race, and if you wait long enough, you'll see them disappear around the first left handed curve of the track. And in the results screen, you will notice that the result is displayed as a cup race with lap times of individual racers next to their position rather than a drag race where the competitors are only sorted by rank. Magnus has a semi-fixed race time for the race which varies between 54.xxx-57.xxx. Rusty and Ahmed are on the slower cars and consistently clock in at well over 01 minute. That is why Magnus is always shown as finishing in 1st position...until you win, and alter the race conditions, and terminate the race for all opponents at start line of lap 1. That is when Magnus shows up at 4th position, which he normally should if you managed to block him behind Rusty's / Ahmed's car
