Yes I remember we all the outright cheating. That seems to have been fixed. Kudos to FM. Flying or half way underground cars aren’t cheating, I don’t think, but some form of uncheck error propagation. A simple sanity check would fix it, but ... with...

Let’s have the ghosts go ghost way way further away so they basically we don’t see them pretty much at all. Then only have to deal with the erroneous distance to next player display on the HUD which can be turned off.

Yes yes... it’s more exiting to race against others so that you feel the pressure to catch up or stay ahead... but only if your actually position was accurate would it be truly meaningful.

Sigh, just want some Real in my RR not just Real Expensive.

I didn’t discuss disconnects or matchmaking or other things; my single issue is the appearence of finishing first but coming in 7th.

Once again I’m fine myself thinking, can I be the only one who finds it demoralizing to appear to win, only to lose.

To answer that last question Drestin, I pose you another question:

1. Outside of the Nascar Tracks (running in circles), in which track have you gone from 1st to 7th. It has NEVER happened to me. I have however gone from 1st to 2nd multiple times.

2. Appearing to win and ending up 2nd (which happens) occurs when you are barely leading. Someone else posted above, very correctly according to my own observations, that if you lead by more than 20m you will almost never lose the 1st spot. When losing the WIN, it always has happened to me when the lead was quite small, typically 15m or less.

3. So in summary, win by 20m+ and you should never have to worry about losing. And do not use those silly Speedways as examples to show that you can go from 1st to 7th, in any other track it will never happen.

When I do win by a few meters I usually cross my fingers and pray... unfortunately it rarely works, and yes it does suck.
