One thing that was noticable on the replay was how my car was displayed after the finish of the race, when I went into turns 1 & 2 the car was jumping all over the shop making it look like lag. All I'd done was put it in Neutral and for whatever reason the server couldn't calculate where my car actually was anymore quite odd really!

I too noticed that I had to complete a full lap after I passed the finish when I already had the time counter elapsed. I found it rather strange cause the race time ended when I was some 4 corners from finish. I had to do another full lap and only after passing the finish line again I got the message saying my race was over. When checking the lap table I notice that I have one more lap then Truetom when I should have the same number of laps (I think).

The leader passed start/finish just before the timer ended. That's why you needed to do another lap

Yes, that I do understand, but in that case shouldn't Truetom and the others made one more lap also? I was in the same lap of Truetom, Shark and Gomes, at least. That's what I don't understand. Please note this as nothing to do with the final race classification, only talking about it cause I found it strange.

No Luis because I think Zacari was inbetween yourself and TT and me. So you cross the line after the time runs out, but because Zacari hasn't crossed the line yet you have to wait till he does so you have to finish that lap, whereas we are behind Zacari so we cross the line after he does and therefore finish there.
I'm asuming Zacari was between you and us (which I think he was).

Yes, that explains it. I thought we're running without any car in between, but if the first position was between me and you I would really to have to make another lap and you ended you're race as soon you passed the finish line after Zacary crossing it in front of you. Yep, that feels right

Yes, that explains it. It still doesn't explain why you got the "race finished, return to the pits" message when you started your final race lap though does it? Or did you not actually get the message but just happened to notice that time had expired before you crossed the line?

To finish first, first you must have fins.

Or did you not actually get the message but just happened to notice that time had expired before you crossed the line? I was some 4 corners before the finish line when the time counter elapsed. I thought when I crossed the finish line at the end of that lap I would get the "race finish" message. But I dind't get it so I did one more full lap already without the time counter. Only when I crossed the finish line again I got the race finish message. I crossed the finish line twice with the time counter already elapsed. But like Shark said, if Zacari was behind me when the race time ended, only when he crossed the finish line would the race ended. So, although the time had elapsed, Zacari had to cross the finish line to declare race finish. As I was in front of him, I crossed the finish line with time counter elapsed before Zacari did and thats why I had to make another full lap. When I crossed the finish the second time Zacari already ended his race and mine ended as well. As TT and Shark (and Gomes) were behind Zacari their race ended the first time thy crossed the finish line after the time counter elapse cause Zacari already ended by then. A bit confusing I know, as I also didn't understand it until Shark pointed out that Zacari was between me and them. So, I guess I was the first to cross the finish line after the race time ended, which make me the overall winner . I wish

And if you think that was confusing it was worse in GPL! If the leader was just about to lap you as you crossed the start/finish line you'd get the chequered flag (or you thought you were but in fact he was waving it to the car right behind you). There was no handy "RACE FINISHED" message like there is in GTR.

I wish Well you were the winner of the NGT race (or would have been, except for the small matter of no pitting) because you completed more laps, which is the first criterion in working out the results.

I know. I was only kidding for being in front of Zacari in track when the time ended. well, in front in terms of track position not race position , of course

There was no handy "RACE FINISHED" message like there is in GTR. Aah the good ole days (again ), when not everything was lined out in great detail, people could still railride most tracks, take the train while doing the Tour de France and second-to-last-corner-German-cheaterz weren't got with their pants down and put on public display! Woohoo! T

Hi, guys... I just wanna say that I loved race with you guys... Sorry if I caused any problems to anyone, but racing 1 hour with 18 FPS wasn't easy and at the end of the race I was spining a lot... I was trying to free the track always but in case... Looking forward for the next race...
