I have been moved down numerous times but NEVER moved up. If it is fair I should see at least a reasonably similar number of moves up in the standings as down. I just came in 2nd and got 4th in the end. Did 2 people REALLY ove up from 3rd to 2nd and 4th to 3rd when I was moved from 2nd to 4th? as I asked, Has ANYONE ever been moved up? This is something I have been experiencing badly the last month or so. "Latency" with FM servers you do not see until the results are in and you see the time differences in relation to what you experienced whilst racing. Just yesterday, a field of 5 at Seca. Off we go (no not how others experience the rapid passing of others at the start)and by the finish I was 150yrds+ in first. Results put me nearly a full second behind first and I finished 5th. I see this 'latency' week in week out. Although, wasnt/isnt anywhere near as bad when team challenges incorporate OMP and there's nearly 10x the participants than usual.

Usually for me, by default there's 1/10 lag. But can apparently be as much as a second after what I experienced yesterday. I also never get the benefit of running someone down at the finsh, pass them and get a result of me above them. I tended to think my old device was the issue for a while. About a month ago I got a much faster new device and the issue wasnt as bad at the start. But it just keeps getting worse. I keep meaning to make a video of this, but I have been time-poor.

I now wonder if the actual server I race through 9I'm in Sydney) in OMP may be the issue. I just don't know. Because I love OMP, this 'latency' thing does my head in. I can't blame my NET speed anymore, because I get it from 2 different ISP's.
