What a steeming rip!! :mad:  

Here the situation:

I was doing the Gran Turismo All Stars in the Professional League 15 LAP race on the Test Track with my F090/S.  Long race for a NON-Endurance with a F-1 car that does only 210 MPH.  

I had been battleing a car for second place for the last 11 laps.  He was faster than I, but when I timed it right I could drive behind his car and gain another 10-20 MPH, just enough to pass him.  

OK - Here's the part that really pissed me off - I'm approaching my last lap, the lap counter says 14/15, Now on every other race I have done, this means once I cross the finish line I have one more lap and thats it. I had my strategy all planned out for the last corner so I could at least get second place.  

Well I was riding behind this car cross the finish line and was unprepared to see the FINISH come up on the screen.  What kind of **** it that?  Prior to the finish line the lap counter said 14/15.  I had one more lap right?  Has this happened to anyone else?  Is there a commitee that I could write a formal complaint to?

 
Well what the hell, why am I so special????

Perhaps it was because I had the game paused for a couple of hours while I was fasting for Josh?

Had you paused your game for a long period of time?  Had someone lapped you?
 
Today I was playing the tokyo endurance and three times right after the really easy s turn, the wheels start turning left. I had to pause, unplug and replug the controller. It was messed up.
 
Guys, that means you were lapped, thats all. If the leader finishes and you are a lap behind, you finish the next time you cross the line no matter how many laps you did.
 
Lemans,

yes I was laped (1st and only time).  That what I was thinking, but I wasn't too experienced in be laped and didn't know what to expect.

:)

Oh yea, good morning!
