I ran a few races last night. Only one strange thing happened, and maybe someone can verify this. I started in second place. Passed the 1st place car at the first turn, and stayed in first place the entire race. Results showed me in second. Now, does the game determine position solely on elapsed time? I mean, from the time each player crosses the starting time (individually) until each player crosses the finish line, then compares results? If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible for someone to wait a few seconds before starting, then run a faster overall time than me (without actually passing me) and win, even tho I'm in first place in the race?

sorry if this is an old topic, but I never really spent much time in OMP.
