I have noticed that the lap records for the races have been set due to glitches. all the lap records are randomly 3 seconds quicker for one lap, and one lap only. can they be reset or anything??

This is due to KERS, it is not a glitch.

no mate they have kers every lap, not just for 1 lap. hsve a look at the race times and you will understand

I don't see the problem you are describing.  Could you show us the results for a particular race (or several races) and tell us what to look at?  I just had a look at this: http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=race-result/16036#race and don't see anything particularly odd.  2D users can manually control KERS and can use a lot of it during a single lap.  So it's not necessarily a problem to see lap times being even 3s faster every now and then.  If it is happening consistently on a particular lap (other than the last lap) then that might be a bug.

I think it is just using the KERS on a single lap, because your lap time can improve a lot when you use a race worth of KERS in a single lap. I'm pretty sure I broke the Hockenheim lap record last night doing the same thing.

i think he was talking about the turkish gp the lap record is a 1:24.572 set by B Janis, now the in our league we have set a few lap records and the fastest lap we could get was a 1:27.628. a Clear 4secs faster. here is the link to this race http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=race-result/16953/20311  now as you can see 2 laps before he did a high 28, then a mid 28, THEN a 24, then back to 27s,28s. that shouldnt be right you dont go that fast on one lap then drop off the pace by about 3sec, just because of KERS

Maybe it should not be, as in real life you'd need way too much batteries to save so much energy, but in case of the present ruleset it is absolutely ok. You can easily be 3-4 seconds faster by using about 60% of your whole KERS in one lap. I do that too in the end of a race, if I have to much energy left that I didn't need throughout the race.
I don't know how it is simulated here, if 60kW like last season or maybe 120kW as from 2014 on.

Janis is my league, and the current fastest driver. I know for a fact that in that race he wasn't bothered throughout and therefore didn't have to use his kers until the end, which is when he used a whole race worth of kers in one lap to set that fastest time. 

What people have to understand is that the kers that we have is a battery to use for the entirity of the race, not just one lap, which is recharged on the next lap, and therefore it's more powerful than the 3-4 tenths you'd get in reality.

Oh yes, you do. I know Janis, he's a good guy. If you wanna see him in action, he will perform in about 45 minutes from now. :)
