#19852 Incorrect starting order on the first lap?

Working on my race videos this week I discovered an issue on the first lap of a race. The order of the cars does not match the order shown on the race screen as they cross the S/F line on the first lap.  We start our races in single file so all the cars cross the S/F line in the correct starting order.  But the race screen puts the cars in some random order that does not match the actual order of the cars.  I tested this by lining up 6 cars behind the S/F line and then starting a race.  I just use my hand and push all 6 cars across the S/F line.  If I go slow I can see each car show up on the race screen in the correct order but as other cars cross the S/F line the order is suffled or randomized into some other order. The order remains wrong until the cars cross the S/F line the next time where it then puts them in the correct order as they cross the line. I have a photo attached that shows 6 cars in the background that just crossed the S/F line but you can also see on the race screen the cars are in a different order. Is there some reason for this or is it one of those bugs? :-)  Rick

Hi Rick,

this is by design and has technical reasons which have to do with how the lap times are calculated after the race has been started. I think it could be changed, but the effort would just be too much. Also, I think it is not really an issue but rather something which would be "nice to have" :-)

Cheers,
Marc
