Well no racing for me for a few days - while at work, I got bitten on both hands by an Otter (long story)
Sore hands, tetanus injection and a course of antibiotics. Bloody Otters - though I wasn't enjoying the racing much anyway, so not to bothered

Oh no, not Trial Mountain again. What's worse is the reverse part because you have to do the opposite of what you normally do on the regular layout of it.
@Barney Da Dog Oh my, you got bit by an otter, seriously? I hope your hands heal up.

Glad I wasn't alone on this...was hoping for a backstory on that one. It's a rare opportunity:
"And then, upon seeing Barney's qualifying time, Otter von Winmeister lashed out and attacked, wounding his opponent where it would matter the most...THE HANDS"
Maybe not THAT dramatic, but still....🤣
EDIT
Daily Race C RULZ!!!😁

I'd loved to have heard the explanation to the medics.Well no racing for me for a few days - while at work, I got bitten on both hands by an Otter (long story)

"What happened to you?"
"So there was this otter right.."
"Yeah?"
"And he bit me"
"What an otter git he is"
"Thanks, can I please have the drugs now, I'm going to pass out."

I've got an example of the gaps to other drivers (who either did or did not make a pit stop yet) thing that I told you about I didn't understand, 2 or 3 pages back in this thread. It's a screenshot from a TheKie stream, but this will do.
I thought before the time in red was the time you are behind the leader, but now I am confused about it. This is the screenshot:
TheKie already pitted at this point (his pit animation took about 31 seconds). He was already driving at the back, and after his stop he's driving 15th place, 27.348 seconds behind... who? So this 27 odd seconds is not his gap to the leader? Because if the leader (anyone behind that still needs to pit) takes a pitstop of 31 seconds, than TheKie will pass them all, but in reality it's quite a hopeless drive from the back because he was punted in the first corner.

How can the pit delta be 15 seconds while the whole pit animation is more than double (no fuel, no tires), this I just don't get 😅
This is his pit entry, so he is 6.7 seconds behind the leader:
This is pit exit (so more than 30 seconds into the pits):
Now this is his delta, 21 seconds:
So you guys are right. It is indeed a 15 seconds. But how is this possible when the animation takes longer... only thing I can think about is that you cover a lot less track than the people not pitting at that moment.
To make it a teeny more ontopic: I did several daytona races this week. Most of the time I start about P10. The first 2 laps are rather messy most of the time, with me coming out at P14-P16. I always finish about P6-P8 however so many people must be having collisions or trips beyond the tarmac.

We're getting off topic of the dailies, but again, what you are suggesting (although technically possible) is far more complex that you think.
First, the comparison of 12-16 cars vs 128-150 players. That's the same thing, but in the larger game, more prediction is used to determine where people will be. It's just more processing. And, still, intention cannot be determined. Only trajectory. In that, lag becomes the issue. Let's say, my trajectory says I am going to t-bone you, should I get a penalty? Lag causes me to t-bone you. YOu feel it, but on my end, I never even came close to being off line. So my intent was never there, the outcome still sucks for you. Should I be penalized for lag?
How fine of a measurement does it need to be? Well, watch the cars in this week's B race and you will see them blatantly go into the penalty areas on your screen, but there's no penalty dished out. Why? Because of the difference between them, the server, and you.
It's not as easy as you think
