If the results put Nic ahead after the race (as viewed in the results screen), he was ahead, regardless of the matching time. If there was some sort of photo finish to view that is what it would show.
I have never heard of a series where the moderators choose their own placement over what the game displays. That screams of playing favorites.
Furthermore, using the last lap as a tie breaker is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. All that does is favor the car who passed the start/finish in front the previous lap, thus making the last lap null and void.
Go with the game results or I'm done here.
First all of man, you need to calm down. Seriously. Relax. This is not the FIA F1 World Championship. Have fun. (Though I guess racing wouldnt be racing without drama.) 
Were not talking about last lap. Were talking about who had the faster race lap, which I did, which was also the fastest lap of the race, at a 117.000. The logic behind this is like in any race series, when you decide a final point standing, if two people are tied, you look at who had the most race wins, then 2nd places, then 3rd places etc. You award the tiebraker to who has earned it more based on merit. Or we could take who qualified better. Or who passed the most cars. Or who spent more time leading the other in the race. Whatever. 
Third, the game results on my screen showed me as being ahead. The photo finish shows us as being tied down to the thousandth of an inch. I wonder why
.oh wait, thats because WE TIED. <shakes head> What do you think of that, hotshot? 
My hats off to Nic. He drove a solid race to hang on to Nepal, who was hanging on to me with the epic draft in the main straight. And then he was able to get a run on us when we braking dueled in to the final corner.
I really could care less about sharing 4th place points. Heck, I am totally cool with each of us recieving 4th place points. What I am not cool with is anything less than 4th place points. For all of the above reasons, (based on logic) I think if you were going to award a 4th and 5th place, that the 4th place should go to me. Still, I accept whatever decision R1600 makes (who always makes fair decisions, and were lucky to have him as the league organizer, the reason why I keep coming back.)
Well done to Maverick for a solid race 2 win.  And Aliens for 2nd.
Cheers,
A TIE thats crazy would like to see a vid of that lol, I don't think there's much chance of that happening again
