Weird FIA Qualifying Glitch?

[pjmack]

Has anyone else had an issue where in qualifying for the FIA races you appear (say as an example) 12th in the list at the end of qualifying and when you return to the pre race screen you're listed in 14th?

I first noticed this when I qualified in 2nd only to start 4th with two drivers I'd not seen in qually in 1st and second? Just seems a little strange that the order at the end of qually should change?

Quite frustrating..

You should record it when it happens. Just click "share" - "video" and let it save.

I think what you’re seeing is the best time of people who are currently on track. Some people register their time and go back to the garage.

Happened to me at least twice.

Shouldnt the list as you go be everyone? Seems strange in qualifying to take away the times.

I know... but that’s what I’ve been told. I find it easier to be a bug when showing times than a bug in accounting for times and actually messing up the grid order.

Hey folks, new guy here, so hello!

I have had this issue a few times, if you watch the results on the left they will flicker you up and down the order during the quali session. During Sundays Skylines at Suzuka nations cup I would flicker between 6th and 7th often.

With Nando's explanation of drivers in the pit lane it could also be extended to drivers off track. If I stuff up my last quali lap I drive about on the grass. If others did similar when the clock finishes they would be dumped back in front of you?

I have seen it when the running places are messed up and get sorted at the end of a race, however I think this issue is the same issue we get in Lobby when you don't keep your qualifying position if you go to the pits. Fix that and it will fix both things I think. Still a bug.

Was keeping an eye on this during my qualifying run this evening, and I can confirm that times don't display to those who are still circulating when you're in the pits.

This man got it. This is what happens. When a driver leaves the track, his name is taken out from the leaderboard if you're on track, but once you leave it too, it will show him again.
