Yesterday I did the Mazda Roadster 4h Endurance. Everything was fine until the last pit stop. The two cars behind me were able to pass me because I was slowed by the Miata in last. I knew the stock Roadster RS ('07) my drivers were using couldn't catch up. So when time ran out I was in 3rd place but I crossed the finish line first. I won. What the hell happened?
 
The time based races are based on the number of laps, not the first person to cross the finish line (unless you have the same # of laps). They must have done more laps than you.

They crossed the finish line ahead of me on a higher lap then time ran out.
 
Okay, as many endurance races as I have done, I been constantly ignoring this one. What is the best Roadster for this race and what are the best settings? I want to make sure none of my LV30+ bobs come up with a harsh excuse of not taking 1st place through the finish line. I'm not able to do this race for the moment because I placed 3 of my bob's in another 24-hour Le Mans.

This happened to me once but it was reverse situation. I was doing 9 hour endurance using the veyron. 2 hours left I checked and was 4 laps ahead. My veyron looked liked it been to hell and back, it's front was smashed in and was dragging on the ground. But didn't seem to affect anything, Bob is really bad smashing into walls. I came back an hour later...I was 7 laps behind!!! I took over and started to pace the race...spin out several times but I manage to catch up and took the lead with minutes left. It was very exciting last hour. Anyway, I was about 1/4 the track length ahead and I thought...I made it. All of a sudden I see some car popped above me....I thought what the hell, I didn't see any car near me or passed me up. How did someone finished first before me. But when it display the results...I came in first, but just as the race ended....it said one of the other computer racers came in first. Weird ****. I thought I was cheated out of 9 hours but it didn't happen after all.

Maybe they finished a lap after being in the pits?
 
No...it wasn't like that. You know how on top right you got all the drivers. I was in first place with a few minutes left. The second place cars was about 1/4 the length of the track behind me. Just as the race ended...some car popped into first place position and knocked me to second place despite never seeing any car passed by me. I was shocked, but when it display the results...it says I was first.
