if you look at the online race details of the racers listed below, you can see that those guys appear to have done one more lap then the total race distance. the extra lap appears as lap 1 and is actually the last lap they completed before the restart (so lap 2 on lfsworld is actually lap 1 of the race). so far i could only find that happening on "CTRA Race 1" today, to players who connect during the prior race and join that race before the leader enters the final lap (no clue if that helps or is just coincidence anyway). thanks to all that happening on a CTRA server, all replays can be downloaded from their page: raceauthority.com

mind that, if you look for the replays, the times listed above are the times when the race finished, according to lfsworld. on ctra, the times mentioned in the replay´s filename is the time when the replay was saved, so like 2 minutes later. so the first replay is "Race1_SO5R_30_Oct_2008_1317.mpr". and of course, the mysterious extra lap has been recorded in the replay showing the race before, so in "Race1_SO5R_30_Oct_2008_1301.mpr". my guess is the replays don´t help on this issue anyway

yes, I need to look into that again some day. I know a bug can happen which has exactly the result you described, though it shouldn't happen very often. But yes, need to look into that because it shouldn't happen at all.

glad to hear someone actually cares about this. i was getting crazy trying to reproduce that bug all day long today. everytime i think i know now how to do it, it doesnt work, and someone else comes on and gets the extra lap, skipping all the details i thought were necessary

so far i got the extra lap in like 4 of 5 cases when i connect to the server during the race, join the race before the leader´s in the final lap, follow him to the finish and do a lap after the race is over. on the other hand, i saw someone joining the race after it was over and just completing his outlap before the restart, and he got that outlap as extra lap in the next race. it´s weird! gonna stop testing now, getting crazy and probably nowhere

good luck on fixing that
