Hi all, just a quick question to see if any one else has had the same glitch as me. Im in the middle of the 24h Nurburgring and have suspended the race a couple of times due to life getting in the way ha! In this race my fastest lap was actually lap 1 at 7.48.882, it started to rain around laps 10-12 so havent been able to improve on that yet, anyway, when i resumed the race at around lap 30, it said my fastest lap was lap 27, then suspended and resumed again at lap 59, and it said my fastest lap was lap 47. It clearly wasnt as it is 100% wet and night time lol. It did the same thing during the Le Mans 24h too. Anyone else seen/noticed this?
 
I'm pretty sure there is limited space for lap information during an Endurance. So, the further that you get into the race, the laps start to overwrite previous laps.

I'm not exactly sure how many laps before it starts to overwrite previous laps, but the above is why you cannot replay an Endurance race.
 
It does this for all suspended races. I wouldn't call it a "glitch," but merely an oversight. Since the game does not save the lap time history when you suspend, and turn it off, it will accredit the fastest time to the lap you start on when you return. So, if you resume a race on lap 56, it will post your correct fastest time, but will say it occurred on lap 56.
