Hey Marco,

Looks like you weren’t in sync with the server. This could be caused by a lag spike on your network.

The timing panel normally is the most accurate one, car positions are the ones affected by desync while updating the position in the map.

So it should be considered correct that Reutemann won the race even though he did not appear ahead on the circuit?

It didn't appear like this for your screen as client-server weren't in sync.
