Ok, That Was So Not Fair!

I was racing in screwball stadium and i was in first on the last lap, we make the last turn and shes close behind me, i pass the finish line befroe her and she wins the 150 tickets, i know you guys might think its not a big deal, but when your trying to go for the roadster every ticket counts, and its not the first time its happend either, its never happen that i won even though i was in second. im so mad!

That's happened to me. It says I'm in first, but once I pass the finish line, the "winnings board" shows that I'm in second.

It has to do with the servers...

...and your connection.

Because of the differences in internet connections and pc speeds, there can be up to a 4 second difference between what you see and what is actually happening on the servers.
The times you see for each lap are based on your pc not the servers so you will sometimes see a discrepancy between them and your total time.

This is very similar to running into battles (especially in fac and mint) when you are sure you are in the lead and someone else lines up as the first toon to hit the cogs.

Hope this helps to explain it.

Lag also plays a roll

Yes the speed of a computer and net plays in. I play racing on one comp because the other is too slow. Which it is a fast computer but not fast enough. But just remember it might happen to other when you win too.

Good news...

This bug has beend fixed.

August 30, 2005 [sv1.0.15.50.test]
City Circuit track is now open! This challenging road course features lots of corners and s-curves, and one doozy of a jump! Check it out!
Both Screwball Stadium and Rustic Raceway received some visual tweaking and enhancement.
Race wins now also count as qualifies if you have never qualified for that particular track. Also adjusted the amount of wins/qualifies needed for trophies.
Fixed bug that was incorrectly calculating race times.
Fixed a bug that sometimes causes one to crash at the end of a race.
