This happened to me once too!

I finished the race a full minute clear. After crossing the finishing line and
taking out the flag, I hit ESC to save the best hot lap. I did that and then
returned to the race and waited for the other drivers to finish.

At the end of the race, I was suddenly second!!!

In another instance, me and two friends played a race in multi-player mode on
the one machine. My drivers were called Good Ashraf and Bad Ashraf. Throughout
the race, my car was easily 2 seconds clear of most competitors per lap! At my
last change over, I had a 2 minute lead on second. We changed over and I was
waiting with baited breath to see Good Ashraf come up as a winner. Bad Ashraf
was doing rather poorly and being controlled by the computer. At change over,
Bad would have been about 20th with 5 laps to go and the other driver first
with a two minute clearance. Anyway, one of the other players drove his
ferrari around a corner, ignoring a yellow flag and ploughed into a car that
had been spun off. The other car may have been  one of mine under computer
control! He pits, and goes on to finish the race. The final result...

Good Ashraf (who was a clear winner) and 1st got 20th place

Bad Ashraf (who was near the end of the pack, finished 5th.

Now for berevity, lets say the ferrari ploughed into Good Ashraf. The computer
pits my car. Bad Ashraf drives past. Now the computer flashes up lap times on
the logger by surname only. I reckon it confused Good Ashraf's place with Bad
Ashraf's.

Now THAT is a bug!!
